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??
Get one that at least has 5-X 100 WATTSSimply looking for wattage is a VERY deceiving measure of a receiver, Sony being one of the most notable offenders. Manufacturers have no standard way of rating power. LISTENING to a receiver, with some decent speakers, is the best way to find out if it is any good.
That is not a complete knock against Sony. The ES line is quite good.
