Any word of Pioneer VSX-1016 receiver coming soon? (1 Viewer)

I'm getting close to purchasing the 1015 but was wondering if anyone has heard if there might be a 1016 in the works?

Thanks!

Yes, the 1016 will launch in June. It adds XM radio and HDMI for a price of $499. Par for the course for this industry leading budget performer.

Thank you Porter!

I finally decided on the 1015 and placed my order this morning. Once the receiver is in place, I will have all my surround sound components including seven Sonance HomeTech THX speakers and two Crystal Audio 10-inch THX certified subwoofers. I am confident this setup, while very budget-minded in price, will perform to my satisfaction and very likely above my expectations.

Now if I can just get the sheetrock done in the new basement HT where all of this gear is going!

Porter H:

Do you know if the 1016 will do up-converting to HDMI for other inputs?

Thanks.
