Fisher TX-2000 (c. 1970–1972)
Little is documented about the Fisher TX-2000. The record shows a stereo control amplifier - an integrated design - advertised at 150 watts and priced at $349.95 in late 1970. High Fidelity (December 1970, p.3) carried a Fisher ad listing the TX-2000 alongside the smaller TX-50. That put it as the higher-powered model in the company's early-1970s lineup. It showed up again in amplifier roundups through 1972. No detailed specifications, dimensions or circuit descriptions have turned up in the period literature examined for this archive.
A second High Fidelity ad (March 1972, p.3) included the TX-2000 in a series on Fisher's design philosophy, specifically the preamplifier stage's role in overall system gain. It gave no model-specific measurements. Going by the price and power rating, the TX-2000 likely competed with other upper-mid-range integrated amplifiers of the era, such as the AR amplifier or the Akai AA-6100, which was briefly listed alongside it in Audio (September 1972, p.34).
Beyond these few contemporary citations, almost nothing else is known. No owner's manual, service data or production-run figures have been located.
