I recently purchased the Pioneer VSX D411 from Best Buy for $139.99. It is my first HT Receiver, and I am very pleased so far....Have had it for about 2 months... It is great for DVD playing, and when set to "midnight" or "loudness", sounds great for music too! If you do NOT require video...
I am deciding between a Pioneer VSX D411 and a Sony STR DE485 A/V receiver. These both meet my budget. Can anyone recommend which is a better choice-the Pioneer or the Sony??
