Pioneer VSX 2020 AV Receiver - 1/2 Price deal!

Richersounds.ie: John

Guys,

I have been offered a deal on a few Pioneer VSX2020 AV Receivers.



http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/42/98/405/VSX-2020-K/index.html

With 2 HDMI outputs and speaker connections for 7.1 surround sound, this receiver is the heart of a versatile home cinema set-up.

You can easily connect a second screen or switch between your screen and your projector without having to reconnect the HDMI cable.


The VSX-2020 is able to decode the latest HD audio formats and supports x.v.Colour and Deep Colour for vibrant, lifelike colours with smooth gradient transitions. With the latest HDMI version 1.4a, it’s also ready for 3D content.

Enjoy content from broadcasting soures and games to home cinema with resolutions up to 1080p. Standard definition video is upscaled to HD format.

The receiver provides full iPhone and iPod integration: listen without quality loss caused by D/A conversion.

Also, use your iPhone or iPod touch as a remote control. With the iControlAV application, you can access the receiver’s main functionalities, and more over your wireless LAN.

Bluetooth and internet radio
Stream audio content to your receiver using Bluetooth (additional adaptor required). The Sound Retriever AIR restores sound quality lost during streaming.

Connect your receiver to the internet and enjoy your favourite radio stations online. Listen to preloaded stations or easily update your personal favourites.

The receiver has an intuitive and fresh-looking GUI (Graphical User Interface), giving you quick and easy access to the functions you need.



Anyone that knows these beasts knows just how good they are but here is a sample of the feature list:

These did retail at £999.95 - the cheapest around online at the moment are at £699 ish - we have done a deal to get them in at £499.95 which is an absoloutely spanking deal and leave this high end receiver coming in at the same price as middle market receivers!

If you would like to snaffle on of these beasts give us a shout - it's first come 1st served! Drop us a PM or a quick email to sales@richersounds.ie and we will get one of the guys to get you sorted!

Hi, now I'm really torn. I was caught between a Onkyo TX-NR609 and a Denon AVR-1912.

Now I have this in the mix, all at the same price! which would you recommend?

I'll also be looking for Boston Accoustic 5.1

Steve

Richersounds.ie: Dave

Hi Steve.

Between the 609 and the 1912, I would have to say that there really isn't any competition.

This Pioneer would win the race. The Onkyo 709 would be a closer competitor.

The Onkyo and the Denon are good receivers but this Pioneer for the same price has the performance over the other 2.

It has internet radio, iphone control, THX certification, 2 HDMI outputs, power galore and in my opinion is the one to go for at £499.

I hope this helps.

Hi PC.

We have these in now.

Would you like one held or despatched ?

Christ I wish I could go for this. My Pioneer VSX-300 is dying a slow miserable death. Keep meaning to fix it, but time's against me. Will keep my eyes peeled for something less fancy here though, the TV I got from you guys is still going strong and wouldn't want to deal with anyone else.

Ok Dave...thanks for that. As you know, through our pm's , I'm also considering the Onkyo 709 and you have quoted me a price for that, so can you leave it with me for the moment and I'll be in touch. I'll probably go for the Onkyo because, we both agreed I think, that it would be the best match for my M&K speakers.

Hi Lads,

Would this work well with a Jamo Studio S 606 HCS 3

I read that the onkyos are not good with Jamos....

Thanks

Been checking out some of the 5.1 speaker packages, would the satelite speakers not be too small for music playback in a large room? Oh and by the way,the receiver must have analogue upscaling to hdmi?????

kingaaa

John,I think im sorted for a receiver,picked up a yamaha 667 from another boardie but I still need speakers and Im not pushed on small satelite speakers as I want a good punchy deep sound for music - any ideas?

Richersounds.ie: Dave

Hi Kingaa.

What's the budget ?

The new Boston XS 5.1Se pack is brilliant.

The Vector 5.1 is always a boardies favourite and there are others.

Let me know and I'll see what we can figure out for you.

Dave, I'm trying to get away from those small satalite speakers - just dont think they cut it with music (I like it loud!) but would like a package. I was thinking of speakers around the same size as an average studion monitor that can be mounted high on a wall? What are the Vectors like and whats the price?

Vectors are brilliant and they have finally brought out dedicated wall brackets which make the package all the more attractive! They retail at over £500 in the UK for the complete 5.1 system - we occassionally do Boardie specials - so what the heck - £349.95 for the pack!

http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-packages/monitor-audio/vector-5.1/moni-vector-5.1-blk

.....However....If you are not 110% keen on small and satellite speakers - I would have a long hard look at getting a REAL 5.1 system with real speakers and if you can fit them ( and are allowed ) I'd go for the proper bronze package including:

BX1 Front speakers

BXFX Rear Speakers
BX LCR Centre
BXW 10 Subwoofer

Total retail should be £1050 - Boardie deal at £799.95.....??
