You were 100% correct. after fiddling about with the Receiver both Audio and video signal are clear as a bell. I guess the pioneer up converted the signal of wii and my son is amazed at the...

My son is elated with the polk monitor 70's. Pionner seems to be good match sonically and this unit does a good job @ 140 watts per channel. The pioneer is technologically lacking in minor areas as...

The UPS delivery man commented that he delivered quite a few of these Moniitor 70's and said it was something he too was interested in. (Maybe he is waiting for a pair to "fall off a truck")

Could you live in a house with NY Yankees, Rangers, Kinicks and NY Giants fans? I mean there is litmus test here for all aplicants. ;)

Sorry dude. Three boys over here is enough. Now if you were a girl my wife would consider it.:)

It is a 7.1

""If he kept both monitor bookshlef speakers he has 40's for rear and 30's as presence, very nice"" ....am not sure what you mean ???

In a 7.1 the 40's will be the surrounds and the 30's the...

Defenitely one of the downsides on this "dated" Receiver. Yor comment is taken on board. I feared it might be lacking even more than that but as it was Elite from 2005 they did pack it with a lot.

Brandon, How did you notice the tweeter problem? With your eyes on inspection or your big ears?

UPDATE

My son confirmed speakers arrived this afternoon. He is toooooo happy. Huge boxes but he has yet to open it as he traveled to pickup the Pioneer receiver from his Uncle. And Oh Man this...

OK......so I helped my son get his first gear for his HT. In the last few weeks of shopping around we got great deals on Polk Monitor 40's for fronts, monitor 30's for surrounds. We got the CS1...

I to created my sons first HT with help from this web site. A great buy right now for the front speakers is the monitor 70's as they are on sale at a great price. They are advertising a pair for 379...

This unit was number 3 on the list but it runs 100 bux more than the 608 so we removed it. Our budget is to tight.

My brother has been a big fan of Pioneer for the last 10 years. He has a...

Thanx Techno. Will no doubt be around for a while.

Have been debating on the acquisition of an Onkyo 608 or 707 but low and behold my brother recently purchased a new pioneer Elite receiver and has shelved his Pioneer Elite ( circa 2007/2008). He is...

Done Deal! 159.99 each or 319.98 a pair. Unfortunately being from the lovely state of NY I do have to pay tax and the total came out to 348.36 USD!

Delivery most likely by Friday if not...

You guys are making me drool. I know these as fronts will blow away the monitor 40's.

Did you guys order over the phone to get the discount or did they give you a special promo code to use for...

Am wondering if it is a better deal as Newegg is selling the Monitor 70 series II and JR is selling the original series.

Other than the cosmetic difference of Silver vs. Black is there any...

the code is on the link I posted......but I see Mole is way ahead of me.

I tried to test this out in preparation to order....tried to place order for 2 speakers on one form but only got a...

My pleasure as a Newbie to bring any info of value to you veterans.

And your comment is so on the money. The money saved on a receiver can be well spent on the monitor 70's.

Have been debating on the acquisition of an Onkyo 608 or 707 but low and behold my brother recently purchased a new pioneer Elite receiver and has shelved his Pioneer Elite ( circa 2007). He is now...
