Pioneer AV Receiver LX51 review

[madeinstein]

Hi, is this av receiver available now? Any chance for WHF review?

As soon as we get it, we'll review it! But don't think it's arrived in our stockroom yet.

I've just bought one too, with a kef KHT3005SE 7.1 speaker system. Sounded wicked in the demo room. I hope it's a lot better than my Onkyo 605 or i'm gonna be gutted. I'm gonna have to buy a stereo amp to power zone 2 though. Bummer! Can't wait to get it home.

I bought one but was disappointed to find that it does not decode DSD to Analogue without converting internally to LPCM. There is insufficient information in the Pioneer literature . Just to say HD Audio decoding is misleading. The operating system is far too complicated.

Hi
highfidelity, you've lost me mate.

Got the LX51 and KEF3005SE setup the other day and must say it sounds great. It looks a lot better than the old minger Onkyo 605 too. There's just much more detail that I didn't know was there before. I'm not so sure if 7.1 has much over 5.1 really but i guess that's for another thread. Still gutted about the zone 2 business.
