the Pioneer Elite VSX-03 receiver... I'm excited-my bedroom set-up is becoming pretty sweet

I'll post some pics as soon as I hook everything up.

where do you work?! lol

Magnolia HT inside Best Buy

(it was our display so they let me have it for cheap because it got discontinued a long time ago and when we sit on old product for too long the store gets hit at the end of each month until we sell it)

Sweet deal man. My friends here in Colorado got NIB 05's last year for $250 (from work as well) and they all love it. The 03 isn't that much different.

Shoot man, I will drive to LA if you can hook up a second one for me....

Great deal on an Elite receiver. I'm sure you'll love it.

HHX · 02-23-2010, 03:38 AM

Callas01 - hahaha I totally would man, but this was the last one...
I love this Elite-I just hooked it up and my itunes music sounds so much better now than it did with my old little HTIB silver Yamaha

now I don't have to turn up the volume on each track in the itunes "option" menu-this receiver puts out so much power my Klipsch bookshelfs are gettin a work out

callas01 · 02-23-2010, 04:10 AM

I am looking at getting a marantz 5004, but if I could swing an excellent deal on a Pio Elite 21 or 23, I would jump on it. If you can get a deal on one of them, let me know... riverside to LA is only 45 minutes...

There is a guy on audiogon or videogon that sells Pios over the phone from his business for a decent price. HOWEVER, if there is a way to get me your BB Emp Discount, Let me know... I will convince the wife I need to go to LA

Finally buying something for me today?!?! Oh, guess not.

Great deal on the receiver I used to work at best buy to and the open box discount was the one thing that I miss but I do get some good things from sony.

Yeah, there are always good deals on discontinued product and I always keep an eye out for things I need. The Pioneer is sounding great, and I just bought an open box Klipsch Icon XW-500 sub for it

now I just need a center and some rears and my bedroom set up will be complete.
