    Right. And Pioneer themselves list the authorized online dealers. They have a separate list for AUTHORIZED Internet dealers and AUTHORIZED B&M dealers. And they provide links to their web sites. Yes, some have B&M stores but Amazon certainly does not.

    AVR Overload

    Since I responded to question re merchant I must update. Dbuys.com flat out LIED! Their web site listed the SC 05 for $788 with free S&H and on the same page: “SHOP WITH CONFIDENCE! All products we carry are factory sealed, complete with all factory supplied accessories and a full...

    AVR Overload

    Thanks for the replies. Bob, yes speakers defined as small. I don’t follow re input voltage spike. Are you referring to a line voltage spike from my home A/C power? I use a good quality surge suppressor for all my equipment. I bought the screw connector type banana plugs from monoprice &...
