 this is my first ever PIONEER component, and my first ever serious audio component. it has continually served me so very well since i purchased it for $350.00 back in 2003. a $1300,00, 1990/1993 model, i consider it to be PIONEER's last great Receiver, and last great audio component to date. please do not take it lightly because of it's A/V functions; PIONEER added those on to a solidly designed stereo receiver capable of true High-Fidelity acoustic articulation. it might not be the match of a component AMP/PREAMP combo, like, say, PIONEER's own C-90/M90 ultimate fidelity stereo components, but it it comes awful close for a receiver, IMO. at any rate, for those with a preference for receiver based amplification, this unit is damned hard to beat...   SUGGESTION: substitute the supplied CU-VSX014 remote for a CU-AV200  This post has been edited by MacGyver on December 06, 2008 10:04 pm --------------------  PIONEER VSX-D1S TOTL 130w/ch.

Glad you like your Pioneer very much. For ease of use and convenience, a remote controlled A/V receiver is tough to beat especially for non-demanding listening conditions like when playing video sound. However, I would try the Pioneer Elite separates like the M-90, C-90, T-90 set that was made around that time. Your PD-91 CDP should give you an idea how good they were.

It's a great idea but, the last M90's I saw sold for $900 each (the seller had 2) I was thinking hard on those, just couldn't put the funds together, I'd be interested to hear what Macgyver thinks about the preamp A/V section when speaker upgrades call for more power  and he adds an M90 or M91 to the mix! I'm not sure if Pioneer made Elite monobloc's but, man theat would look/sound purty...   -------------------- Main: Yamaha MX-800U, Marantz 2270 as a preamp, Thorens TD125MKII SME3009II Shure V15 IV, Teac V-8000S, Denon DN-790R, Fostex E-2, Panasonic DVD/CD, Martin Logan The Sequel, JBL L56 for a change

what is the T-90? i've never heard of it, and i have a VAST knowledge of PIONEER's reference/ELITE SERIES alone, and just as much concerning their STANDARD line. still, i dont think i'll ever have an issue with my D1S being inadequite; as i know i'll never have a speaker system as demanding or power hungry as the MARTIN LOGANs that the stuwster here has. i have confidence that the D1S will handle the PIONEER DSS-9s that are my ultimate dream speaker with the same athority that it has over the four-way CS-G503s that i currently own...

I stand corrected on the tuner model number. I just looked at my set and the model number is F-91. Again, I'm glad you like your receiver and I respect your enthusiasm. However, there are very few receivers that can stay with a separates amp and that is the point I was trying to make. For example, the M-90 has dual transformers and circuitry. |

ah. i'm well aware of the M-90. i've seen them before, inside and out. i'd have to make major renovations to my system arrangements to accommodate an C-90/M-90 combo. well worth the hassle, i'm sure, but for now, i'm satisfied with what i have, with the only major addition planned being a PIONEER DV-09 DVD player...

Yeah, receivers are much more convenient. I wish I had the remote for my C-90 and F-91... |
