Can we expect some flagship amps reviews soon?

Would quite like to read your thoughts on the Arcam avr850 and the Pioneer sc-lx901 amp. Thanks.

Plenty of reviews out there if you google them.

Cheers pal. I think I have now decided to keep with mine for another 10 years though.

You'll only end up buying one, gel !

I'd certainly wait until the whole HDR thing settles down a bit, and unless you want 11.2 why go for the top of the range model? Most 2016 and 2017 models will handle 4K, Atmos, current HDR standards, but not necessarily Dolby Vision, so if it's musicality you're after you might be better with a more modest receiver and a proper power amp for your fronts. The new Emotiva is modular and you can start out with two or three channels and go up to a maximum of seven per case by adding extra pretty much plug-n-play boards.

I dont think i would want to buy anything that ends with 901, Amstrad made a CB radio with that number in the early 80's & IMO it was absolute rubbish. A suggestion for you.. how about add Yamaha matey? Pioneer is no more for A/V Amps ;-) Onkyo i believe own the Pioneer A/V range

I suspect Onkyo will use the Pioneer brand for its (slightly?) higher end products in much the same way as Denantz does with Denon.

Onkyo's other brand (the name of which I can't remember right now) is aimed at "professional" installations.

Integra.

No, Marantz's focus is more on Hi Fi than AV, and vice versa for Denon. Nobody's more high end than the other.

I thought it was strange that What HiFi reviewed the Pioneer SC-LX701 when it first came out, but still not the 901?

Agreed, and I didn't think they liked it much too - not a good sign.
