Pioneer VSX-1018 or Sony STRD920

I was at bestbuy today looking at the pioneer unit and it is very nice looking. The only thing I didn't like about it was the binding posts on the back had a cheap feel to them. Other than that it seemed very nice and was quite heavy, I would say at least 30lbs..

Ok Im going to go with the Pioneer , the specs are great and looks so much better than the sony . Now I need to find a couple good Floor standing speakers and a sub. Then Ill pick up a CS and a couple surrounds later in Jan. Although Ill probably give in and just buy them all haha.

I'm a big Sony fan, but I gotta say the look and specs on this Pioneer model is very impressive!

I had bought the Pioneer on Boxing day, got the Klipsch F1's at bestbuy too.

When I bought mine on Boxing day I noticed it was a heavy sucker. The box said 36.4lbs.

Im glad I made the right decision. Cant wait for it to get here. I need to get some speakers so I can actually make use of it though. Im leaning towards Sony SS6000's for fronts at the moment with out too much research.
