Why this model is so sought after
The SG-9800 solved at the time the problem of acoustic imperfections in living rooms by precisely correcting specific frequencies. Today it is mainly a visual and technical showpiece. The unit matches perfectly with vintage Pioneer amplifiers from the same period, such as the SA-8800 or SA-9800.
