    Man this thing does it all. Plenty of raw power to meet most any home theater need with the latest software for dialing it all in. Find one on sale and don’t look back.

    Highly recommend this receiver . This thing drives my Klipsch speakers that are highly efficient to there limit. After completing setup using the app it truly becomes alive with atmos surround. All channels output is on a different level. Very high output soundstage is so impressive I can’t even believe how much better my entire system sounds now.

    Arrived with center channel DOA. What elements that are still working sound and look great. The return/ exchange process has been challenging to say the least. I still have no resolution from Bestbuy for my issue, now going through Pioneer for a fix. I'll update the review if i ever get this resolved.
