To those on the fence. You will have no disappointments with the Pio 92 or 94. After much research and demo's, I went with the Pio 92 (did not need the additional things the 94 added).
I read about the heat issue with Onkyo. I went to CC and sure enough, they had it running and it was HOT (not hot as in "cool", but hot as in heat!). Never did hear the lip sync issue.
The denon sounded great but I did not like the design nor the color.
But the pioneer stood above the rest of the crowd: Denon, Onkyo, Yamaha, and Harmon.
I can tell you this, the Pio 92 is great for movies and music. It is way above my previous Yamaha 1500. I asked my wife just last night (who by the way is not into audio or home entertainment) said she hears a big difference between the Yamaha and our newly acquired Pio.
There are so many more things I am hearing in the movies and music that I had no idea existed. Details, details, details. Astonishing really.
I have it hooked up 7.1. But what was a huge noticeable difference was how it delivered the LFE. There is so much more details to the bass. Tight would be what comes to mind. The yamaha did not come close to it. Hear all along I thought it was the sub, which is an Outlaw Sub.
If you have any questions you can just PM me.
