In reply to:
JohnK: on MCACC(Multi Channel ACoustic Calibration),although I haven't tried it, my impression is that the great majority of reports from owners is highly favorable.
I have to agree. I went through many AV/HT forums pretty exhaustively on this subject, and most Pioneer Elite owners seemed to be making a valuable use of MCACC.
In reply to:
JohnK: On the 4ohm question, I suppose that we've read the same reports and they're so conflicting that I don't know what to make of them.
It seems that at least one person who had had the 4-ohm shutdown problem got it actually fixed by Pioneer. See
this and earlier posts by the same person.
Also, thanks for the info on the new VSX-D912-K. Looks like this model has, besides the auto-MCACC, just enough set of features for many potential buyers. For example, they did not omit rather important things like 7.1 analog inputs. This model
might be a great bargain indeed, if you do not need the Elite warranty/appearance/pride.
For others who are interested,
here is the press release.
Cheers!
