Pioneer VSX-1020-K Audio/Video Receiver
Pioneer VSX-9040TXH 7-Channel Direct Energy With Free Shipping, After A Week.
After A Week, My background for context, I started using Hi-Fi equipment 25 years ago and have had Pioneer, JVC, Kenwood, Sherwood, receiver setups. Done the reel-to-reel, all the way to todays stuff. For the past 10 years I have been a major fan of Yamaha having two high-end systems. I finally went looking for a new setup when I started seeing newer blue rays that my Yamaha 992 could no longer decode (its Dolby digital 5.1) such as the dolby digitalHD, and the multitude of other stuff. I looked for about a year at everything between 1200 and 300 bucks. I was just about to spring for the pioneer 1019 due to the great reviews when I found this one. A Pioneer Elite wrapped in a different package for the same money as what I had decided on. While I’m partial to Yamaha this is a great receiver. Power and music is great, the video upscaler is great and the flexibility of connections is great. A word of warning…it is so flexible and versatile, read the manual. I hate manuals, I never read manuals…..so go ahead, hook this up and then start wondering how can I tweak this or that? You’ll read the manual which I found very easy to follow. Is it complicated, no…its flexible.
This is a great piece of equipment and an excellent value.

The remote is easier to use. But in reality, it is often necessary to use the receiver's remote control? nice variety of options for speaker output. I use a 3.1 speaker set with A. A...
