Nye AV-receivere i tungvektsklassen fra Pioneer.

Pioneer har lansert arvtakere til de tyngste AV-receiverne. De nye modfellene er SC-LX701, SC-LX801 og SC-LX901.

I mars meldte vi om Pioneer sine nye AV-receivere i budsjett- og mellomklassen. Her var det flere interessante nyheter, og disse er selvfølgelig også å finne på de nye tungvekterne, i tillegg til at toppklassemodellebne selvføglelig stiller i en annen liga når det gjelder kvalitet og effekt.

I tillegg til at det er et nytt brukergrensesnitt i form av GUI, har de nye modellene en kjærkommen støtte for TIDAL. Og så får vi selvfølgelig krysse fingrene for at denne suverene strømmetjenesten greier seg gjennom den finansielle utfordringen som de befinner seg i for tiden.

 

 

Vi finner også støtte for Pioneer og Onkyo sitt nye trådløse multiromsystem kalt FireConnect. Dette skal være kompatibelt med andre produkter samme system, for et trådløst multiromsoppsett. Også Google Play er en nyhet som støttes på disse nye toppreceiverne, som skal være tilgjengelig i løpet av september.

De norske prisene på de nye modellene er:

SC-LX701:        16.998,-

SC.LX801:        20.998,-

SC-LX901:        30.998,-
