Win a Pioneer Elite SC-95 Dolby Atmos Receiver (1 Viewer)

[Nascar-Dog]

I want to upgrade because I have really old hardware. My old Pioneer amp doesn't support Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD let alone Dolby Atmos. It also does not support 4K Ultra HD or 3D video. It is time for an upgrade and this Pioneer Elite SC-95 would solve all my problems.

I would love a chance to try out the new Pioneer Elite receiver as well as Dolby Atmos. I have been less than happy with my current receiver, I've wanted to upgrade to an Elite for a while, but the wife always shuts that idea down. This would make the upgrade significantly easier

Pathetic as it is, this is all I've got right now. I need a new receiver to start building a whole new system

Been running with Marantz as my system core for about five years; it's definitely time to upgrade. It's a nice enough unit for a 1080p theater design, but 4k is here now, and frankly, there are some annoying bugs in the unit's firmware (particularly in the Internet rafio part, which I use a lot) and so I'm definitely ready for something different. We're really into movies, as you will easily see:

We just upgraded to a 4k TV, but our ten year old audio system just isn't cutting it anymore. We're starting a new project for which testing on a new top-of-the-line system would be amazing. Plus Pixels in Atmos would be the tops.

I currently have a 7.2 system, but I am very interested in the Dolby Atmos upgrade! For that extra surround that I feel I am missing…I guess a couple more speakers will be needed for this as well…

I'd like to upgrade because I need to refresh all of my hardware. My Sony Receiver is from 2000 and has no HDMI ports. My projector is from 2005 and my screen is painted on. My goal was to upgrade my hardware as time went on, but then we had children. If I win this receiver, I can put the money I would have spent on the receiver towards a new projector and/or screen.

I want this upgrade so that I can review Dolby Atmos titles and tell everyone how great the experience is


Edit: Finally, here are a couple of quick iPhone shots of my set-up.

It would be awesome to be able to hear Atmos at home. I am thinking of upgrading my speakers to a Golden Ear system system, including the Invisa ceiling speakers.

I have ALS and have lost the use of my arms and legs. I'm a 20 year audio engineer and have always had a passion for movies. I now spend most of my time watching movies. Thankfully I bought my system before my diagnosis. No chance to upgrade to Atmos as I am now on disability. I currently have an older Pioneer that has been fantastic. Hosting weekly movie night is how I stay active with my friends.

I've had 3 previous Pioneer surround receivers and they have all performed flawlessly. I'd be proud and thrilled to add the SC-95 as the next generation to my home theater.

I'd like to upgrade my old Denon 5803 non-HDMI receiver and get it into the current decade.

Just upgraded my secondary HT late last night (refurb Marantz 5010) so I can at least sample the new formats (have not had the chance to watch anything at this point). My current main system is 9.2 and I had in ceilings installed several months back in anticipation of the new formats. I know that once I sample the new formats in the secondary system I'm going to have a bad case of upgraditis and going to need to upgrade the main system before the condition gets worse and I need serious treatment. So please let me win it. Thanks.

We haven't been to a movie theater in over 10 years and keep upgrading our home theater. We remodeled part of the basement a few years ago to make the experience now even better than going out. As soon as I read about Atmos I told the wife that is going to be the next upgrade from our present Yahama/JBL 7.2 config. I have already prewired for the speakers, just a matter of getting a good deal on the new hardware. A free Atmos AVR is a pretty good deal, sign us up for that!

Here is a pic of my current setup.

I am a huge fan of Pioneer. Everything on the rack is Pioneer except the VCR. This unit has been great for many years but I think it is time to upgrade.


Currently I have an old laptop connected to the receive to stream Panora or mp3's. It would be so great to have a receiver with WiFi that can do that. It would be amazing to win a receiver. I would upgrade everything in that room (family room).

I am not going to tell you why I deserve to win this receiver, nobody deserves to win this. If I do win, it will be the crown jewel in my life-long dream of a dedicated home theater. I've been building a system for 20+ years now and after lots of scrimping and saving, I'm building a dedicated theater in my basement. I'm building a 14 X 16 theater and was planning on filling it with my Pioneer Elite SC-05 (purchased used) pushing Celestion monitors (purchased used). Since the picture only shows my room under construction, I'll tell you what I'm currently running:

Celestion KR2 mains

Celestion 5.25" unidentified full-range drivers for the rear channels (amazing drivers, just incredible!)

Craptastic Advent center channel

Home-built subwoofers loaded with Infinity Kappa Perfect 10" and Soundstream monoblocks pushing them (125 WPC?)

LG 50" plasma TV



I'm very proud of my current setup; it's been a slow process due to the nature of a single-income household. If I win this, I would happily give the SC-95 a workout. And as a show of appreciation, I will gift the SC-05 to a friend who, like me, is slooowly building a system due to family financial obligations.

My current room:

This is very early in the process, it's farther along than this right now. Three of the walls are built, and will be wired shortly. About a year ago I found a place of worship THROWING AWAY theater seats. I offered to sell as many of them as I could to help them recoup renovation costs. They gave me 10 seats to thank me for helping them. I would be able to have the SC-95 up and running in my theater before the snow melts!

I hope all of this makes sense. I'm having a hard time getting my thoughts onto the screen.


Thank you for your consideration.
