    Pioneer 2012 Line of Receivers Preview

    Dave, Please call them. I'd be shocked if they don't make it right. Try not to take out your frustration on the poor sap on the other end, they didn't try to screw you over and they are likely to give you no grief (nope it won't be me on the other end but I have been on that side of the...

    NewEgg has always done me right and they actually have a reputation for doing right by the customer, that's why I buy from them so frequently. Have you called them and talked to a person? I would expect them to refund the difference at a minimum if not refunding the entire delivery charge.

    @Dave23, Amazon does pull through at times, very good for you and I'm glad to hear it.

    Assuming you mail ordered it, try to get free return shipping, have them send you a label for the return, it shouldn't be at your cost for DOA. I bought the Onkyo NR-515 and am very happy with it. The Pioneer was another one I was looking at but I can't recall why I didn't go for that one...

    ONKYO TX-NR515/NR616 vs. VSX-1122-K

    You can download the users manual online but until you get a few hours to play with it, setting it up can be a pain. I'm not fond of the remote control that came with it (buttons too hard to read) however it does control my BluRay player and DirecTv tuner. I may wake up my harmony remote to...

    ONKYO TX-NR515/NR616 vs. VSX-1122-K

    No fan that I can see, does not run hot. It's very well ventilated (slots on the top). My cabinet has an open front and lots of open room above and below. My IR Thermometer says it's ~115F (ambient air temp 72F) and that is just running 5 speakers at a moderate listening level for TV. So...

    ONKYO TX-NR515/NR616 vs. VSX-1122-K

    Well the Onkyo Rocks! So far I've performed a generic installation and it sounds nice. I'm in the process of upgrading the firmware. WARNING ! This takes a very long time. I've been waiting for 20 minutes already at I'm at 53%. The download was fast, it's the actual internal update that is...

    ONKYO TX-NR515/NR616 vs. VSX-1122-K

    That is good to know information. I already pre-ordered the Onkyo TX-NR515 from NewEgg. It has the features I think I will be able to live with for the next 10 years (hoping it lasts that long). I also purchased a pair of bookshelf speakers (Polk Monitor II) and a matching center speaker...

    Odd, can't edit my previous posting. Well I'd like to take back my comments about the equipment being on the market. I have seen reviews but I think some folks are placing a review of the VSX-1022 in the VSX-1122 area on some websites. Just crazy. -Joe

    ONKYO TX-NR515/NR616 vs. VSX-1122-K

    I'm looking at the 515 or 616. I know these haven't hit the streets yet but the specs are on the Onkyo website. My question is, besides THX certification and a few more watts of power, is there any difference between the two models. Next comes the big question, which would be a better...

    Pioneer 2012 Line of Receivers Preview

    I thought these receivers have been on the market for several months and I've read some personal reviews. Some praise, some damn. I'm really interested in the pass through HDMI feature and how it works and if it's restricted to certain devices. One would think a pass through would be...

    Pioneer 2012 Line of Receivers Preview

    This is a nice review of the items but it certainly didn't feel like the reviewer physically had the receivers in their hands. I would like to know how these perform in the real world. I'm seriously considering purchasing the VSX-1122-K to replace my failing receiver (left rear channel amp...
