Pioneer Authorized Online dealers?

[Nomo]

I've tried searching the Pioneer site for a list of authorized online dealers to no avail. Is there a way to buy the Elite line of receivers and not nullify the factory warranty?
By asking this I'm assuming Pioneer handles this the same as Yamaha and Onkyo, in that they will not honor the warranty of a product purchased from a non-authorized source.

Any help is appriciated.

No, Pioneer doesn't allow internet sales of the Elite line. You can buy the regular line on-line from authorized sources, however. There are many of those.

Yeah, I figured as much.
I do like the looks of the VSX-92. I take it you bought yours locally?

For some reason, I can't seem to access the Pioneer website right now, but if I remember correctly, I think OneCall is an authorized dealer. They do sell the Pioneer Elite receivers but they are sold at MSRP.....no discounts. Do you live too far to buy it from a physical store or are you just looking to get a better price online with a warranty? I the answer is the former, then check at One Call.

Quite a few places around here carry them. I was just looking for a better price. 'cause I'm cheap. If I'm going to spend close to MSRP I'll do it at a B&M store.

Hey, I understand wanting to save a buck or two. Unfortunately, I don't think you can buy a Pioneer Elite receiver online at a discounted price. I'm pretty sure that authorized dealers have to sell it at MSRP. You could certainly get one at a discounted price online, but it won't be from an authorized dealer.
