1978 Hitachi SR-2004 Class G Receiver
Fifth most powerful \"all in one\" Monster Receiver made during the \"Power Wars\" of the late 1970\'s
SR-2004 were made by Hitachi, making this receiver a real rarity and somewhat of a \"purebread\".
What really made the SR-2004 stand out was its \"Class G\" Amplifier, with a prodigious 200 watt RMS per channel power output, placing it among the most powerful receivers ever made. In fact, according to a review from the November 1978 issue of \"High Fidelity\" Magazine, it was capable of dynamic peaks of 400 watts/ch \"that gives it a shot a first place in the receiver power race\". When High Fidelity tested the SR-2004, it found that the power output was actually more like 240 watt/ch RMS.
