Antimatter,
the SC-95 -97 -99 were the last Pioneer Elites released before the Onkyo purchase of Pioneer, so no Onkyo influence there. I have the 95 and very pleased with it.
I also have an older Denon (AVR1712) that is fine in the living room, but the Pioneer has significantly more power and flexibility.
The only downside is that the GUI is pretty clunky looking compared to more modern looks from Denon/Yamaha etc. it works, but not so pretty. Many people use the Pioneer iOS/Android control app which is quite good.
