Features and price has never been Pioneer's problem and it'll remain to be seen if their power amps are up to par this time but it sure looks like a nice unit and I've always liked Pioneers gear displays.

I know a few years ago they had some issues but not in the last few years as far as power goes.

I have a pioneer eliete vsx43tx I love it but the only problem is the amp can't handle the impedance drop of my klipsch speakers so I got a Rotel 1080 200 pc to drive the fronts problem solved I'm saving for a Rotel 1098 to replace it Rich

Would it be a problem just using the Pioneer for it's features and hooking up a seperate amp for power?

I am using the Pioneer for it's features that's why I got the Rotel 1080 for the front speakers

Power should be no problem The 56TXi has 2x27,000uf caps.
