Frontal duel meters in classic style. Capable of turning off the display. Fantastic sound for all speakers. 150 Watts to the front, 3100 Watts to the back. Excellent value for an actual THX receiver. That's a nice remote. Not the most pleasant, but pleasant. It's simple to add amps to it. | Sugar Land build patio

I'm still keeping an eye on it because I just bought it.

Got this unit for 170 dollars Hooke up too my second set of 901 vi this amp sounds awesome my other set of 901 vi hooked up to pioneer CSX 9300 I got 65 sterile now I got the paradigm 11v3 hooked up to marantz 7100 preamp I got klipsch Hersey 1 paid 40 dollars for they sound good speakers look new when the covers are off I'll have too put some pics uo

None that iv found

I've had this unit now for 5yrs (eBay purchase) and the outboard decoder. It has plenty of power, quality sound and low noise and the quality of construction seems good for a modern era receiver. I think I'll be keeping it for a few more years yet. It has style that a lot of modern receivers lack, even though I know there are newer one with many mie inputs auto eq etc.

No HDMI of course.

I bought this receiver in 1998 in England while I was stationed at RAF Alconbury. I paid $704.05 for it at the time which I thought was rather expensive but because I was in the military I didn't have to pay tax, which was nice. I have used this receiver throughout the years and have not had any problems. I finally bought a house and have pulled it out of the origional grey and black box. This receiver has a classic look with the meters and needles. The sound is great and there are multiple hook-ups for everything that was avaliable at the time. I now have two Acoutimass 5 cube speakers (rear), two Bose 201 bookshelf speakers (with wood panels on the sides, bought in the 80's), a Bose VHS center chanel speaker,a Klipsch 10" Subwoofer, sony blu-ray palyer and a 46" Samsung LCD, HDTV. This receiver still rocks, I haven't found a receiver that comes close to the looks of this one. Receivers today are just plain ugly, case in point sony, pioneer, yamaha etc... I think Technics should redo this receiver with HDMI, room sampling, dual zone, and all the modern gadgets. I would definitely buy one.

Raw Power,Accessory section(THX)this unit will rock your house with the right speakers.

None. other than weight, this uint is heavy.

I have had this reciever now for 10yrs this is my opinion is one of the best recievers ever created, I have not found many recievers out there that can compare to the TX-50, one of the main reason's I love this reciever is because it has multiple hook-up for multiple speaker amps so you can power a club with this reciever, if you own one hold on to it, I am sure this will one day be a collectors item, of high value.

Vintage looking face plate with watt meters that you can turn the lights on or off for night viewing. Fan cooled amplifier, which has very high sensativity. Can hear so much more than with other previous amps I had. Huge power output gets my JBL 4800 towers dancing nicely just like my Scott 380r did, and it weights about the same to.

Has no digital inputs which was remedied by buying the Dolby Digital processor that was sold at the same time as this reciever which has fiber and coax digital in. Hooks up directly to the Technics SA-TX50. The model of the Processor is Technics SH-AC300. Has the white display trim also to keep with the reciever. This provides the 5.1 digital in you want to have. I bought the processor for 40 bucks on ebay. Please keep in mind you DO NEED THE REMOTE with the processor. If it doesnt have it dont listen to people who say you can use the processor without it. There are functions that only the remote can do.

Also the bass output is sorta low. But if you have good speakers should compensate.

I had a Scott 380R hooked up to 4 JBL 4800 Towers untill about a year ago I bought a 52 inch HD TV and decided to upgrade finally to Dolby Digital surround sound. I love my Scott with all the meters and slide rule tuning. I wondered if there was a reciever out there with a vintage look but modern looks. I went to numerous local stores looked at 300 dollar to 1200 dollar recievers with all kinda hook ups. Ill tell you the one thing that stood out. They all looked identical no matter the price. So dissapointed that none of them looked even close to vintage I looked on ebay. Low and behold a Technics SA-TX50!!! I couldnt believe it. It was wonderful big glowing watt meters and nice vintage look. I knew then I must have it. Yes its aged only being analog prologic but it has everything I want on it and a plus is it is THX quality. I won this item for 350 dollars on Ebay and hooked it up. Amazing sound and can push all 4 of my 4800 towers with no problem. Huge power in a modern but vintage style package.

This receiver still has the power of an old school reciever which is hard to find now days. This unit also makes a good pre amp.

I think this unit could have had more bass. I have been using this amp for a long time and the amp has gone crazy. So I hooked it to a Spec 2 pioneer power amp.

I bought this reciever back in 2000.It has been a great reciever. It is the only reciever that I could find That still had the watt meters on the front.The reciever has a beautiful design.I had a different reciever hooked to my system and I un hooked it and went back to the SA-TX50.I hooked a spec-2 pioneer power amp to it which made it wicked.

The place in Myrtle Beach were I had bought it at went out of business. I would like to find someone who is certified that can fix it.

The ability to hook up so many different things. Crystal clear sound scares me when playing Silent Hill 2.

No optical input/output jacks. Too loud for an apartment.

The SA-TX50 is by far the greatest Stereo reciever I have ever seen or heard. It hase more power than my apartment can handle. With 2 12" Technics speakers, this has been heard 3 floors above my room. January 2003, I have been offered $1000 for it. I would sell this for anything.

No sililar products used and have not heard others that sound close to this one.

Classic style with duel meters in the front. Able to turn the display off. Incredible sounds to all speakers. 150 Watts to the front 3 100 to the rear. Great price for a true THX receiver. Nice remote. Not the nicest out there but nice. Able to add amps to it easily.

Can't run two signals at one time. Can't use A and B chennels at the same time.

Best ThX Receiver I have come across. I was stationed in Japan when I cam across this receiver. I just couldn't pass it up for the money. I have bought others thinking they would be better. But I always go back to the SA-TX50. very underated
