General Comments

The Pioneer VSX-811s is one of the best amplifiers for its money. It is fully configurable, down to the last mode, speaker, bass managent & attenuation.
It has loads of options depending on your needs and setup.
It could easily humiliate amplifiers in the $500 - $1000 range.
Similar amps cost over $1500
If you need more specs (THX) or more power look for the Pioneer VSX-1011 or VSX-2011 which are also avery good amplifiers for their money.
I would definately recommend it or buy it again.

    I agree! I worked at bestbuy for awhile and out of all the AMPs they sell this was the best one out of them all. Sure there are better amps and sure they might have better sound too! But you only have two ears and no matter what amp you have, this one or a Denon, H-K and other Higer end Amps you STILL will get the same result.



    You want a deal and bestbuy for your dollar? Buy this Amp because you will not get a nicer unite for your hard earned money. I own this one and am very happy with the Quality of Pioneer.
