    Pioneer Elite is always reliable but this one seems a little pricey. Mainly purchased for the power and zones.

    Great product. I got it for Dolby Atmos and it is awesome. The best way to test it out is the race scene in ready player one. It will blow your mind

    This receiver really did sound pretty good but it wasn't the easiest to use nor user friendly!!! Also the volume control is in decibels which is very wierd and unwanted......was an absolute deal breaker for me because I need to be able to se the volume in numbers so I returned it literally within hours after best buy set it up!!!

    I love this unit I have always owned pioneer elite receivers but with the 9 channel having 7 I one room and 2 in another zone is a game changer. Airplay 2 also makes syncing music simple. The so many feature positives on this unit you can’t list them all

    This thing is FANTASTIC!! Really pumps out the sound & the remote is simple & easy to use. Only wish it was illuminated! I just wish BB started the warranty when the install is completed...NOT on the purchase date. Seems a bit silly to me.

    So far this receiver is exactly what I was looking for. Very easy to set up and you can use the pioneer app to control the different zones. You have many different music apps to choose from.

    I'd been told by many people that a 9.1.2 system was hard to find especially for the quality I wanted. I run a Klipsch system and love it. Super crisp and easy to use.
