Introduction to the Pioneer SC-57 Receiver
I've reviewed a fair number of receivers, and owned a fair number of them myself as well. The unit that I was the most sad to part with was the Pioneer SC-27 a couple years ago. With its Class D amps, it was fast and powerful, but not harsh, and did better with music and soundtracks than anything else in the price range I had heard. When I saw the SC-57 at CEDIA, and Pioneer explained they had build the Class D modules themselves instead of using a modified ICEPower module, I had to hear what had change and pestered them until I had one in my theater room again.
