HiFi Choice Gold Award Winner, 2004 Awards.

Quoted from the HiFi Choice Awards issue:

"Pioneer's new flagship amp has so much going on under the bonnet we asked it to make a round of tea just to see what would happen. It wouldn't stir out Darjeeling, but it's still quite a box of tricks: video conversion (it upgrades a composite or S-video signal to component video), auto set-up, 7.1 analogue inputs and a whopping 170 watts into seven channels. Performance is outstanding - good image depth and powerful dynamics with both surround and two-channel material" - HiFi Choice Awards Issue, 2004.
