I'm ordering the Aperion Intimus 633-T Tower Speakers, Intimus 634-VAC Center Channel Speaker and Intimus 632-LR Bookshelf Speakers for the rears. http://www.aperionaudio.com/Basket/ShoppingCart.aspx. I'm also ordering a HSU HO sub to complete the speaker package. I've found the Pioneer VSX-94TXH, 7.1 A/V Home Theater Receiver @ http://www.cameraaddict.com/viewproduct.aspx?id=3673871 for $989.00 which looks like a great deal to power these speakers and manage my HT.
Do any of you see any glaring pitfalls in what I'm proposing to purchase? I just want to make sure there is nothing obvious I'm overlooking.
Any comments or concerns are appreciated. Thank you!

Great price for the Pio 94 but be sure they are an authorized dealer. If they are not then you purchase it without a warranty. I am not familiar with the speakers but I have decided to buy the 94 over the onkyo ,Denon or Yamaha.
Seems to be a great value to me !! Good luck man

Thanks Vin! How do you find out if a dealer is "authorized"?:eek:

They say on their website that they honor the mfg warranty on "grey goods" not covered by the manufacturer.
I'll let you know how it goes.:)

There are WAY too many sites like this.... when the price is too good to be true, it probably is.

Check the reviews of cameraaddict.com:

"STAY AWAY!!! They are con artists who said they had my camera in stock and that its came with a "US manufacturers warranty." I got an email the next morning that it was out of stock. I called and they said they didn't have the one i ordered but they had the US warranty version (nikon d40x). I told the guy thats what i ordered and he said "no you ordered the gray market camera." He offered the "real" camera to me for an extra $120, which still was cheaper than anywhere else so against my better judgement I agreed. 2 days later the camera arrived and I instantly recognized that it was a gray market camera. I called and spoke to someone who looked up my order and he told me that I ordered... "

Not a single positive review out of 500. :eek:

I wouldn't give them a penny of my money after reading those reviews.


This is the 4th site today I've come across with unbelievable prices. I've been DSLR shopping for some very high end cameras, and some of these have the cameras I'm looking at for 1/2 the average store's prices. Use your brain when shopping around... and use google to find reviews of the stores. ;)

Well I ordered the Pioneer VSX-94TXH from BestBuyPcs.com for $1300.00 2nd day delivery and it arrived on time super packed no damage and included the I-Pod cable. So far everything is working as it should with the only hang up getting the HDMI pass through to the tv. Problem is me there are so many features and settings its quite the learning curve since my last audio purchase 20 years ago!
Speakers arrive tomorrow and the sub shortly after that.
Thanks again for the help!
