I have a thread opened about the 47TX which I purchased for $1500 at Tweeter but then avaholic gave some good input on reasons why I should look for a 55Txi as an alternative. The 55Txi is the same exact price at Tweeter but I think I can find it for a couple hundred cheaper at an online store if I wanted to go that route.
EDIT- I have found the 55Txi for about 300 cheaper if I buy online but I'm not sure about Pioneer's 2 year warranty if I do so.-
The main reason for getting the 55Txi was that it had the I-Link (firewire) for use with SACD. It also has a USB connection but other than that the 47TX has it beat in power and in # of connections (3 component INs and 1 Component OUT). I don't have to have the power of the 47TX but thought that it was an awesome deal since it was just marked down from $2500 to $1500. I can't even get it at a crappy internet dealer for that cheap! Anyway, I'm hoping that avaholic and others will post here and give me your input on reasons you might would take one over the other. I will be testing the 47TX tonight. I will be using this receiver primarily for DVD movie watching but I am one to want to be prepared for the future.
Thanks in advance for the comments.
