Summary
Aside from the glitch with the protection circuit, the Pioneer Elite SX-A9 is one of the best two-channel receivers I’ve heard. It’s a very musical sounding receiver with smooth, natural and well-balanced tonal qualities. Its broad and deep soundstage, midrange clarity and detail are exceptional. It would make a great receiver for a mid-priced two-channel system when combined with moderately efficient speakers (95dB or higher). It would also make a good choice as a zone receiver for a multiroom audio system. Pioneer audio engineers have wisely included performance features that truly enhance pure two channel listening.Specifications
