    I wonder why they would put network streaming in a BR player then just to get a piece of the market?

    Roksan Caspian power amplifier with Pioneer LX53

    I have read the manual of the A38 online. What I read was that if you use it in HT mode the amp then acts as a power amp (correct me if I am wrong) If this is true what would be the advantage of using an integrated amp? or would the pre-part still be used

    thanks for the replies guys @Michael - I will try some different settings, but I think I have had them all @ GSB - though you have a top of the line AV Amp you noticed a reasonable difference when you added the MF amp ?

    Roksan Caspian power amplifier with Pioneer LX53

    I was wondering will adding a power amplifier be a significant improvement to the stereo sound of my AV-setup? Or will a integrated amplifier be of more use? I will be mainly streaming music from my NAS via my Ipad.

    Speakers to match Pioneer VSX-LX53

    Hi I recently got a good bargain at a Pioneer LX53 to replace my old Onkyo. Now I am in the process of auditioning new speakers.
