You have to listen to them because opinions will differ here, in my opinion, stay off Yamaha/Mission combo, sounds real bad but others here will disagree.

yep. I agree. You will definitely need to listen to them. my opinion, stay away from the Harmon Kardon. Never heard the Yamaha Mission combo but I trust yamahaluver has. That leaves you with the Pioneer. but I strongly suggest you find a way to listen to them otherwise, everyone's personal opinion will just confuse more, where you ear on the other hand should be a good source. Good luck!

I have been a longtime user of Mission Speakers and have been satisfied all the time regardless of AV Receiver I have teamed up with. Right now, I use Yamaha RXV1400 and Mission 34, M3C2, and M31 models - fantastic. You can't go wrong with Yamaha and Mission combo. It's the best value for money and performance you can get.
