ValianTX:The Pioneer will be the best between the three.
Have you listened to the Pioneer ?
The Yamaha at £350 is a no brainer, and will blow the Sony clear out the ball park.................
Since September i have had an Onkyo 507, Denon 1910 and the Yamaha is the only one so far that has worked first time ( and stayed working ) with out any hdmi hand shake issues.
The sound is typically Yamaha, warm, not bright and in your face,and will suit a wide range of speakers.
The start in the range of discrete amplification, 90 watts per channel and it sounds it....
2 year warranty, what more can i say.
I have, yes. It's a lovely amp....I might consider getting one myself at this price.
