    Just checked over the specs and they read well. Lot's of functionality and features offered which might be what you are looking for. But if sound quality is the reason for upgrading, the proof will be in the listening. Do you have a dealer that will let you audition one at home?

      Generally as far as receivers go the Pioneers I've heard tend to be some of the better sounding units SQ wise. I haven't played with the new ones yet but it looks nice.

        I wonder how the SQ measures up to the UMC-1. I'm still considering on returning mine and getting a pioneer(not necessarily the SC35).

          Well, kind of doubtful it's on par, but as far as receivers go it's probably pretty decent

            You would be pretty shocked if you listened to it with a good pair of speakers.

              Well never been shocked by any sort of pre/amp in the signal path. Source-volume control-amp now that's a nice setup

                Most receivers don't sound all that good when you want high quality 2 channel reproduction. I have found the Pioneer Elite ICE models to change my opinion.

                  I have the pioneer 1018VSX from a few years ago that supposedly is very similar to the entry elite minus ICE POWER. Will it be a noticeable upgrade to the elite with ICE amp?

                    Rotel separates or Hi end receiver, that is the question
                    by mikeyc
                    I've posted this question on another AV forum and got an interesting answer. I'm currently debating whether to get Rotel separates (1068 and 1075) or go with a good receiver from one of the reputable brands eg. Denon, Elite or Yamaha which would probably be cheaper and have more "bells and whistles"....

                    Need Help With Pioneer Elite Receiver
                    by InTheRed
                    I have an older Elite Receiver, the VSX-99, and I can't seem to figure out how to get the zone 2 outs to work on it. Unfortunately, I can’t find the manual and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this receiver or possibly any similar Elite receivers that may help.

                    Receiver Suggestions
                    by ChiefKeefe
                    I can't stand it anymore, I must upgrade from the Sony STR-DA3ES receiver.

                    I've narrowed it down to the Denon 4306 or the Pioneer Elite VSX-84TXSi.

                    I don't see that I would get anything extra (that I need) from the Denon that is worth the extra $500 it would cost to get...
