Anyone know about the price for the Pioneer LX series?

which model ?

I got the quote for LX82 at RM8.8k
if it is SC-LX90 at that price then ok lar

my simple review of Pioneer VSX819h-k

setup.
Setup is easy just follow the manual and instruction, although this AMP was meant for a 5.1 setup but theres additional 2 more port for additional sorround sound back to make it 7.1 ! eve

setting up,
this is not a plug and play device, i spend almost 6 hours getting a correct setup to make everything works accordingly, mcacc is a big help but when u have kids that doesnt know how to shut up setting up is a painful lesson..only manage to use this feature after they went for a nap...if not i cant properly hear certain sound so have to play couple of movie to hear the correct sound appear and designated speaker....

might want to test 7.1 if i have extra speaker and disc that has 7.1 track. so far able to decode DTS-HD, Dolby-HD amazingly...

the OSD only appear if you have component connected to your TV, it doesnt work with HDMI. so if u want OSD u need to connect component and remove the HDMI temporarly

so far manage to set x-over and several setting such as DRC, direct to decode what ever codec

pro :
1) good value for money, although amp mention setup for 5.1 but actually u can go all the way to 7.1 !

cons :
1) setting a bit difficult, you need to read the manual over and over again to get better understanding
2) remote looks cheap
3) OSD only appear if u use component

Can PM me all the LX series? Tqvm.

LX-82's AQ really changed my perception on Pioneer AVR. It is indeed very good

Told u so....and u still stick to Sky Dragon

Boss, because of the huge gap in price. Peasant can't afford So, ended up with 'budget in mind' 4310.

the 4310 vs LX82 prices diff not that much mar....but SC-LX90 is at RM24k

That LX90 sure looks impressive. But at 24k, isn't it better to buy all separates?

24k can get 10.2 channel amp + processor?
simultaneous output of 1400W
or can bi-amp all channel

I don't think the 7.1 feature is truely 7.1. It more for DVD 6.1 encoded sources like Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES (don't think this is common) or for upmix of 5.1 sources.

Say you buy:

Onkyo PR-SC5507 pre/pro
Emotiva XPA-5 amp x2

I think total about 15-16k and can get simultaneous 2000W!

ok...

1 box vs 3 boxes ....

maybe st seong can quote us 15k for the LX90???

Yeah, disadvantage is 3 boxes. But looks very impressive on the rack

Wah if CT Seong can sell LX90 for 15k you gonna grab?

Can the LX90 be flashed if there is a new Dolby or DTS that come out?

0% installment for 60 months

i will need to confirm that once i get any BD disc or mkv that has 7.1....

Why not dl a test disk file which has 7.1 channels?

Easier to confirm...man...I should have...errr...nvm
