May 21, 2024 | homecinemachoice.com | Jamie Biesemans

After a period of absence, Pioneer wants to return to its former position as one of the main AV receiver brands. And what's the best way to go about this? By launching an all-singing, all-dancing 11-channel model to compete with the similarly specified amps of its rivals. Enter the VSA-LX805.

Ed Selley auditions an affordable HDMI-equipped amplifier that will unite the twoAs a 'hi-fi person' I'm no stranger to devices that perform one function.
