How come Pioneer amps have stopped coming in the UK?

[Deleted member 2457]

Is this the end for them now? Does anyone know anything? Can you see stock for the Pioneer Sc-lx704/904 which are the latest amps? Thanks

A lot of products are in short supply due to Covid 19, not just Pioneer.

I think this may indeed be the issue.

Have you gone off your SC-LX901 then?
Might be worth phoning or emailing Pioneer customer services tomorrow to ask if the 904 is ever going to be released over here.

No, I haven’t used it since I got it back. Just using my Pioneer Sc-lx81 amp still. No, I just wanted to know what Pioneer intentions were. Whether that’s it for them or what, last I heard Denon we’re trying to buy Pioneer/Onkyo.

Yes, that’s what I meant.

Will probably become clearer next year once the vaccine is rolled out and production starts to return towards normal levels . Can’t see anything being decided now.

How come you are using the LX81 and not the 901?

I think the surround sound is better on the 81.

Ok are you planning to list it on eBay again? £1 fees offer on now.

Gel is never going to part with his LX81.

No mate, I got it cheap and if I ever needed another amp I have a spare now. 👍

So true. 🙂

I meant his 901 which is now the spare amp!

 

[bigboss]

Gel is the first person I know who keeps a spare amp. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Well I have two but the second is not technically a spare as I am trying to sell it..... 🙂

 

[bigboss]

The fact is that the price of AV amps fall rapidly with launch of new models. Either use it or sell it.

I did sell it but that didn’t work well either. 🙂
