What experts are saying

A sexy, feature-packed AVR from Pioneer with sizzling sound

Techradar: "Pioneer's 2010 receivers are the best looking on the market, and that applies even to the bottom-end of the range, represented in our roundup
by the VSX-520. The build quality is up to Pioneer's
usual impeccable standards, too."

VSX-920 "cooler than a penguin's toes"

Techradar: "Pioneer is probably the coolest brand in home cinema. Its sleek, cosmetically finessed designs and cutting-edge performance make the rest of the herd look positively industrial. So how do you go about making a sub-£500 receiver cooler than a penguin's toes?"

VSX-LX53 "excellent amplifier and a useful upgrade"

What Hi-Fi names the VSX-LX53 "the new class leader, thanks to crisp, energetic sound and great flexibility."

SC-LX83 has "Punchy, detailed sound with awesome control; packed with features."

Home Cinema Choice: "Pioneer has succeeded in added extra magic to the latest receiver from its award-winning series. And Richard Stevenson is rocking his socks off."

Confident, accomplished and endlessly enjoyable to listen to, the SC-LX83 is the one to beat

What Hi-Fi says the SC-LX83 is "bristling with connections" and "energetic, authoratitive and exciting".

Getting more
than you paid for

Each successive year, we conduct intensive satisfaction research among Pioneer customers. Hearing their voice helps us plan and implement improvements in future line-ups.

Our most recent survey showed that the price / quality ratio of our AV receivers had the highest satisfaction score of all our product categories.
Sound quality and variety of connection possibilities also received high satisfaction scores.

In fact, it is these 3 factors we consider to be most important in our receiver line-up.

Customers also told us that previous remote controls and the user interface could be improved. So we've made significant changes to both to make the control and use of our receivers all the more simple – and pleasurable.
