Pioneer Elite SC-61 A/V Receiver

 

Someday I will be able to review a Class D receiver without mentioning this up-and-coming amplifier technology in the lead. That day hasn't come yet and probably won't in the next few years. But I can see it shimmering on the horizon.

Great amp but sometimes more isn't really "more"

 

First, I would buy this again and I will recommend it to friends. It really does have a great feature set. And I love AirPlay - it just works. Those things said, the amp just seems overly complex to me. I am also not sure if I am processing/playing...
