They are pretty good. Good IO power and large power supplies. It should be good, what do you think sound quality and build quality wise?
Its obviously a far higher level model than the Pioneer, but there does seem to be a few things missing compared to other receivers at its price point. My own personal preference has always been Yamaha's after dabbling around and trying out offerings from Onkyo, Marantz and Denon.
Main thing though is down to if you like the sound it produces?

I've only gone by reviews for this as it has been purchased online and will be coverd by the distance selling regulations etc. Prior to the Pioneer I had a Sony which had to be returned due to hdmi handshaking issues. The pioneer is going back as I have not been happy with it from day one. Richer Sounds not letting me listen to a few of them because they are always too busy along with me thinking that brand names are automaticly associated with good quality music with AV receivers.
Err... its a small but important point... DSR doesn't give you the right to try goods at home and then return them.
You have a right to cancel. But that assumes you simply changed your mind about the purchase. Once you have opened the box then it is deemed that you have accepted the goods and so waived your right to cancel and return under DSR.
If the goods aren't fit for purpose, or are damaged or in some other way faulty then the Sale of Goods Act (SOGA) gives you certain rights to refunds and repairs. But once again it's not a license to have a try-at-home service. That's not the point of SOGA or DSR.
What a retailer does over and above the requirements of DSR and SOGA is up to them. If they're happy to accept used goods back that that's their choice.
Nor is it an acceptable reason to say that you've returned stuff because "the store is too busy to let you listen to them".
It would be unreasonable to expect a lengthy demonstration if you just drop in on spec on a busy trading day. However, you should certainly be able to book a 30 minute demo slot in advance at any store with a dem room. If the staff are trying to fob you off booking a demo then you have three choices: speak to the manager, speak to head office or take your business to another store.

I know the richer Sounds near us tends to concentrate more heavily on tv's and I think that draws the crowds/housewive's in. I also believe there is a lot of the Emporer's new clothes going on. I went with my brother to purchase a dac last week and they said they hadn't got the time to allow him to listen to a few of them. In the end they sold him an open box product which they said he could try for 14 days and if he wasn't happy he could bring it back for a refund. They were a bit funny about him trying a non opened item at home though?
