Pioneer Auto Stereo Receiver

[> 70 dB ] The best stereo receiver I’ve ever owned! If you want the best, this is it!

[Top-Loading] I've been using Pioneer stereo products since the '80s. This is the first piece of computer hardware I've purchased from them and it is a fine piece of equipment. Very well made and engineered!

[5.2] Was a Pioneer fan boy till their Elite receiver and Blu Ray player failed me after 2 yrs of usage. Read allot of recommendations about Denon and decided to try their 5.2 A/V receiver offering. My 'Sierra 2' sounded so alive and present now with the headroom to go more. What a difference in sound.

[1 User] I bought the Yamaha A-S301 to replace an aging 1998 Pioneer receiver. The Yamaha delivers more solid bass. Perhaps less treble, but less treble distortion. For example, you can distinguish between different crash or ride cymbals. Horn sections are very clear, without harshness. I listen mostly to CDs, so the optical input is nice. I use efficient Klipsch R-820F tower speakers, so the Yamaha has plenty of headroom.

[8 Ohms] These speakers are great for the new stereo receiver. the whole thing was easy to set up. The sound is terrific.

[>-86 dB] This receiver has revitalized my 1980s stereo system by allowing Bluetooth transfer from my Sony Walkman (CD quality) and from an iPhone. When powered the receiver goes into pairing mode--your device remembers this receiver...you are connected. So far there has been no problem with connection or distance from the receiver. As this is my second unit (first attached to another stereo system) I only wish I could rename the unit as it comes up with the same name...only to be identified by the Bluetooth address. If you only have one of these, this will not be an issue. Attachment is simple: connect using RCA supplied cord to your receiver aux input. Having it on a switched plug on the receiver is very convenient. If not, you would have to push the light button to switch it into on mode. It has an auto off after a few minutes of not receiving a signal. It also has an optical connection.

[3.35 lb] I have a home cinema Denon X3700h+Marantz MM8077 that powers 7 Klipsch speakers. I listen to a lot of music in stereo mode. The sound is amazing I love it and I thought it couldn't get any better. Until I got the Marantz pm6007... This little beast is just amazing. I know I compare an AV Receiver with a stereo amplifier but everybody told me "You don't need a stereo Amplifier, the receiver has a pretty good DAC". I'm so glad I didn't listen to them. I played a song to my Denon, and in the middle of the song I switched to the Marantz PM6007. And the sound comes alive. When the Receiver plays the song it's like I put a blanket on the speaker. But when I switch to Marantz - it's like I remove the blanket, the sound becomes more alive, more crystalline, and spatial. I love it and I strongly recommend to anyone who likes clarity in the sound

[Class-D] Using this to control wall speaker volume remotely to a stereo receiver in the next room. Works great working at line levels without having to have a huge high-powered speaker L-pad in the wall that eventually gets scratchy sounding and dead spots. Made by RDL which I've used in many custom installations in the past. Very reliable products, practically bulletproof! Had to get 2 for stereo.

I have an old stereo receiver which I use with a computer for tunes in my shop. A lot of noise and static was always being picked up by the cable, and rather than try shielded cables I decided to just utilize the optical output on the computer. Since the receiver didn't have optical capability, I picked up this converter to do the job. It does a great job, now there's no electrical connection to the computer and the noise is 100% gone.

[12.7 lb] Excellent stereo receiver. My one issue is the ability to change stations and set favorites on the FM band. Quality is very good for the money!
