B2B 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 Just heard from a friend pioneer is clearing stock as they are closing down.. some of the AV receivers/TVs are up to 70% off.. I wonder if you guys have any reviews on Pioneer AV Receivers? Is it reliable as there is no warranty for the clearance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any reviews on this? VSX-919AHVSX919AH VSX-919 should be ok, but you should have gotten the VSX-1019 at $107 dollars more ($696) at the same sale which is IMHO more value for money.

I have gotten the VSX919 - I must say the the sound from the Amp was not as good as one of the VSX models I got 5 years back. I would think this is more like a budget amp. the only good thing is there is an Ipod dock... other than this nothing impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think this is more like a budget amp. the only good thing is there is an Ipod dock... other than this nothing impressive. I havent tried this model but normal experience is that in 5-1000$ range its hard to get a very good sounding Amp. Manufacturers concentrate on putting in lots of features but compromise on audio components. The transformer is poor, not good enough shielding of audio components, low grade sound processing chip etc. In the end sound quality suffers. If you have good speakers you will notice the difference. But on budget "Home theater in box" kind of speakers, it sounds decent. A normal user who hasnt heard a reference system, might even be very happy with the sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
