[Fraydog07]

I want to upgrade to see what Atmos really sounds like in my living room! i already have a pioneer elite receiver, and i love them! im sure this would be the perfect choice for me!

Just doing the math here: (Pioneer Elite SC-95) 9.2 - (Pioneer RX-510) 2 = 7.2, that's gotta be an upgrade right?


There's a long-winded answer to the "why" that involves discussing how the idea of buying a serious home theater was unthinkable for me not so many years ago. I grew up amazed hearing that Hollywood producers had cinemas right in their homes! Now the dream has been real for a while, but the nagging question is always: It is too much?


Though you couldn't tell from my setup, I don't think the fantastic home theaters on this forum are an extravagance. Very average consumers are spending many thousands a year on content and if anything, we're cheaping out on the hardware side.


How much better was TV when dad upgraded the 21" in the living room for a 29"? A lot! How much better was the movie when you plugged the VCR into the stereo for the first time? Mindblowing!


Fast forward to today, movie soundtracks are incredibly sophisticated recordings costing millions to produce, and I want to hear them!


tl:dr: Awesome. Want in.

I have been using the Pioneer Elite for as long as I can remember. I love my AVR and I'm ready to upgrade. I only watch TV whether is regular tv shows or Movies in HD surround sound. There's no other way to watch tv in my house so this is the perfect move for me. I have a hug movies collection to make it all worth while. I got laid off a few years back and went back to school for 3 years so money is pretty tight right now, so you would make an old man very happy if you pick me

I would love to win this receiver. It would give me an excuse with the wife to buy more speakers and move stereo to bigger room and that would make me extremely happy.

With this picture I posted, not much needs to be said. I am in dire need of a whole new system. I dusted this one off for the picture as it is not used anymore. The sound coming from the speakers that are no longer connected is absolutely terrible. This system is old and needs to be retired!

We may be buying a new home and moving next spring and my wife has promised I can put together a dedicated HT room again. That awesome receiver would be a welcome replacement to my 16year old Yamaha RX-V995.

I put our theater together on a low budget always buying High quality product at open box sales, floor model sales and wherever I could afford quality.

I was really bummed when my Onkyo TX-NR5009 failed. Even though it should of been warrantied, Onkyo would not honor it because I bought it at a 6 avenue store closing. I am struggling with a very old HK AVR85 until I find another deal on a high quality piece.

I could really enjoy a Pioneer SC-95

I'd like to upgrade to a Pioneer Elite SC-95 receiver because I have a very old JVC receiver/DVD player, It's underpowered for my sub and doesn't support Atmos. I love watching movies, and would love to have a mind blowing audio experience whenever I watch my movies.

Here's my unfinished theater. Needs walls and...ATMOS!

I would love to hear any movie other than Pixels in Atmos sound. I'm sorry but I couldn't make it 1/3 of the way through that horrid movie.


But not to worry, I will find many other uses for the Pioneer.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi!


Scotty, we need a new home theater yesterday!!!!!

 

[filmlover]

I have a lovely 120" front projection system with a lousy, cheap, error-prone receiver! Not only is not powerful enough to push my B&W bookshelf speakers, it frequently has HDMI handshake issues that cause audio and video dropouts! Sometimes I feel like throwing the thing through the window!

To get a high end, powerful receiver like the Elite SC-95 would be an incredible addition to our home theater. Plus, it will allow us to get a 2nd woofer!

 

[ezdraft]

just doing a renovation, system looks rad, i want it

 

[kfhaggerty]

Here's my "theater". I need to upgrade everything.
A great way to start doing so would be to take home this super-fine new Pioneer receiver.

 

[Makkkk]

Hello I'm in the middle of renovations to our house.
The wiring for the home theater has been installed into the walls

and this is where I would like to plug the Atmos Pioneer SC-95 receiver into.

Thanks for the chance to win! We have two kids and no joy in life anymore-- this would make our decade. LOL, just kidding. Our kids are kickass. I'd love to upgrade our receiver though! It's old and cuts in and out... We bought it refurbished so its time is up.

Thanks for the chance.

Why would I want to win the new Pioneer SC-95 Atmos Receiver?


#1 - for Dolby Atmos soundtracks


#2 - I am a Pioneer Elite fan who has enjoyed his Pioneer SC-65 receiver for a couple of years and trust Pioneer's products and am familiar with their designs.

I would love to upgrade to this Pioneer receiver, which will bring me into the HDMI world. My present receiver is the Denon AVR-3803, purchased in 2003, have retired since this purchase and can't afford to buy a new receiver. The Denon is still a great receiver, never any trouble with it, I just need to upgrade to a receiver with HDMI switching and with the new Dolby and DTS codecs. Pick me, pick me, with hands waving in air.
