I'm one of those guys that'll buy a reciever and keep it for like 10 years. This would be replacing my Technics system I baught back in 95'
![]() So by the sounds of it your saying the pioneer is a better buy over sony, even though it only has a 2 year warrenty? |

Normally, I am a big fan of Sony's ES product line but lately their lineup has been sorely lacking. Their amp sections are rated at two channels driven simultaneously. Reading most reviews (Home Theater mag & Ultimate AV just reviewed the 4300), you will find the Sony runs out of steam when all channels are run simultaneously. Ultimate AV reported that the amp reaches 150wpc when two channles are driven but the amp falls to 45wpc when all channels are driven... a big drop in power... they said "when pushed to reference levels, the Sony started to run out of steam and sounded slightly strained.". Definitely not a good sign.
My favorite right now is the Onkyo lineup. They are beefy and the top three or four models pretty much deliver over 100wpc pretty easily. It shows in their weights too. The Onkyos are about 50lbs, the Sony is 33lbs, a good 33% less. The only issue with the Onkyo is that units prior to firmware 1.08 have a DTS HD Master decoding flaw which can be remedied by flashing the DSPs from a CD player. I have two Sony ES receivers, a Denon receiver and the Onkyo. The Onkyo is easily the best value. I must admit that the Sony graphical OSD is pretty cool and easy to maneuver about in. |
