PIONEER Blu-Ray & AVR - From £69.95 - PRICES DROPPING - CAN YOU HEAR THE THUD!

Richersounds.ie: John

Boardies,

I have received a shipment of PIONEER AV RECEIVERS that I can clear to Boardies at really remarkable prices!

The first is the Pioneer VSX421
See details here: http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/42/98/405/VSX-421/index.html

• 5.1 AV Surround Sound
• 130Watts / Channel
• 3 HDMI Inputs
• 3D Ready
• HDMI Audio Return Channel
• Dolby True HD
• DTS HD Master Audio

Should retail at £249 - I have a reasonable number that I can do for Boardies at just £129.95!!!!


Next up is the Pioneer VSX521

See details here:http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/42/98/405/VSX-521/index.html

• 5.1 AV Surround Sound
• 130Watts / Channel
• MCACC Microphone Auto Calibration
• Optional Bluetooth Audio streaming dongle available
• 4 HDMI Inputs
• 3D Ready
• HDMI Audio Return Channel
• Dolby Pro Logis IIz
• DTS HD Master Audio

Did retail at £299 and received a 4 out of 5 star review from What Hi-fi when reviewed at £279.95 - at £110 cheaper - it's got to be a bit of a steal!- Again I have a reasonable number that I can do for Boardies at just £169.95!!!!


Finally we have at last just received a decent delivery of the VSX921

Again it had a good 4 out of 5 star review from What Hi-Fi at £450: http://www.whathifi.com/review/vsx-921 - I can release about 10 of them to Boardies at £279.95



This is a serious beast!
The VSX921 comes with a LAN connection for integration with your home network / Apple AirPlay compatibility, DLNA streaming and an optional wi-fi dongle for wireless connectivity.

Apple's AirPlay lets you wirelessly stream music from any compatible Apple device - without the need for a separate home hub. DLNA streaming gets you access to music stored on your PC, laptop or NAS and plays it through the receiver. There's also access to Internet radio and music services, making the VSX-921 a fully comprehensive streamer.

In addition to offering multiple networking possibilities, the VSX921 keeps control better than ever. iControlAV2 lets you control all important receiver functions from your smartphone or tablet. Control playback, select an input, adjust listening modes and change sound balance and emphasis from one app. The Pioneer VSX921 is also compatible with Air Jam. Air Jam is a Bluetooth-based app that lets a group of people connect with their iPhones, iPod Touch or iPads and add their songs to the receiver playlist. In effect it's a local, social network for music and works well with the VSX-921.

4 HDMI sockets offer full compatibility with 3D TV and ARC (Audio Return Channel)
iPod Digital USB connection.
Dolby TrueHD
DTS-HD Master Audio
Pro-Logic IIz
150 watts into 6 ohms.
Advanced 9-band MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) system


If you would like to match these AV Receivers to a decent Blu-Ray I have a bundle of PIONEER BDP140 that I can do for Boardies at £69.95 that's 65% off the original retail price!!!!!!!!!




As ever drop me a line if I can assist or if you would like to reserve any of these deals..

Thanks a million,

ATVB,

Hi Dave

I have been lurking watching for deals on seperates for a while.

Some noob questions:

I have an old Panasonic DVD/surround sound system (no hdmi etc.), will I be able to use my exisitng speakers/subwoofer

from looking at the pics, the connections seem ok for the centre and surround speakers but the subwoofer and front speaker connections appear different

If I need new speakers with this, is there an affordable recommendation?

thanks

Hi John

I'm interested in the VSX-921 and I need a quote to include a really good 5.1 speaker package. Here are my requirements:

It's a fairly small room - 15ft X 10ft approx with a wooden floor. Thankfully its a detached house so I'm looking for something which lets me crank it up to 11 with both movies and music!

I don't want speakers fixed to the walls so I'm looking for some good quality front floor standers with the rear speakers mounted on some stylish looking stands. I also want the sub woofer to have plenty of oomph. I'll need about 40ft of good quality speaker cable too.

Alternatively, due to the small room size, you might suggest a package without floor standers at the front and instead some good sized satellite speakers with nice stands.

I bought a Philips 42PFL9664 from your sister store in Dublin back in 2010 so I hope you can do me a good deal! I need this delivered to Dublin and my budget including the receiver is EUR1100 or thereabouts(I can maybe stretch a little further for the right package).

Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer.

Cheers

Austin

Just to add i got the VSX921 a few months ago from RS and it is a savage piece of kit.

Hi Risky,

It's a fantastic deal, really nice amp as well. Sound from it is well good!

Do you have the model of the old system? You should be able to use the speakers ok. The likes of the subwoofer would need to be upgraded to an active sub rather than the passive sub you have.

We have some nice speaker packs starting from £109.95. It's a Pioneer 5.1 pack and would go nicely with the 421. Check the link below for more info:

http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-packages/pioneer/s-hs100/pion-shs100

I think that would be your best option, an active subwoofer would set you back around £119.95. A whole 5.1 pack for £109 is a steal. Plus it's a nice pack too.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Austin,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Our current price on the 921 is £289.95 which is a complete steal!!

I'd take a look at the Monitor Audio Vector 5.1 pack which is currently priced at £469.95.

http://www.whathifi.com/review/monitor-audio-vector-av10

This a lovely sounding pack, takes away the floor standers but still has a nice punch to them. The sub is nice a compact, a complete beast though!

I'd have a look at the Monitor Audio BX5 5.1 pack. Bit over your budget but would be money well spent.

http://www.whathifi.com/review/monitor-audio-bronze-bx5-51

Let me what you think, if the BX pack looks appealing let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

Thank's Chris

Its very tempting

I presume I could use existing speaker cable for surround and centre

do I need to get opther cables to connect the subwoofer and front speakers or do they come with the speaker pack?

and finally, what is delivery to Dublin?



EDIT: I suppose I should just check it meets my basic requirements!

I will want to connect sky HD box, an xbox and a PS3 to the reciever...I presume the 3 HDMI inputs is all I require for them (sound and vision to tv)

I then have a PC which I will want to connect for sound only, I presume the red/white cable currently used is sufficient

I also happen to have an optical cable unused, is this worth using for one of the HDMI devices above (i.e. would it provide better sound/connection than just the HDMI?)

thanks

Hi Risky,

Thanks for getting back to me. And apologies about the delay in getting back to you.

You could use your existing cable for the rear speakers and centre. Cable for the fronts would be seperate, if you give me a rough idea how much cable you'd need for the whole lot inc rears. I'd recommend trying to run the same cable for the speakers. Especially fronts and centre. We have speaker cable starting from 99p per meter.

The subwoofer would be a seperate sublink cable, an existing phono cable could be split and also used for this. We've got a few options starting from £9.95 for a 3m cable. Just depends how far the sub is going to be.

The 3 HDMI inputs would cover your Sky, 360 and PS3. You'd also need to use an optical cable for both Sky and the Xbox to carry the sound.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you've any other questions.

Chris

Hi Chris,

Firstly, the sub and front speakers will be pretty much beside the reciever so I don't need much cable for them


EDIT: I see you think i shoudl get new cable for the centre speaker; again this is pretty much beside the recieiver

With regard to the rears its a box bedroom so not large; I will try and give some ball park distances later

In relation to optical cables, how come they are needed for sky and xbox but not PS3? does the hdmi not carry both sound and vision? Can you include an optical cable also then please.

Can you PM me with a total cost for the Recievier, speakers, cables and delivery to Dublin please.

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for getting in touch and apologies about the delay in getting back to you.

I've got the amp in stock at the moment but no speaker pack. I should have 1 in on Friday though.

The omnimount stands would be grand for the Pioneer speakers. You could also use the Peerless stands, this would allow you to then actually attach the stands. We currently have the Boston speakers set on them. The screw hole for the Pioneer is a little bit smaller though. Screws to fit should be easy enough to come by.

Both options work out the same price.

Amp, speakers and omnimounts - £292.80 / €366.00

Stand wise I've got the Peerless in stock atm, no Omnimounts though. I'd need to order them in.

Let me know what you think.

Also would you need any cables for the above??

ah right, it would carry sound but not surround sound?

grand

same must apply to Xbox then

superleedsdub

yep - the sky box will carry stereo sound via HDMI not 5.1, but i`d highly recommend using an optical cable as advised by the richer sounds guys
(I have a pioneer amp purchased from RS and it`s still awesome 2 years after I bought it)

As for the xbox 360 it depends what xbox you have, I have the original 360 with no HDMI output and have to use an optical cable but I believe the latest models with HDMI can carry 5.1 but the RS guys could confirm this before you place your order.

Hi lads,

I'm looking for a quote (delivered to Cork) for the VSX421, a pair of small surround speakers and a centre speaker as well.

I was looking at a pair of Wharfedale Modus Cube's today in a shop and really liked them, they would be ideal if you can supply them.
For the centre I was thinking of the Wharfedale CR30C.

If you have any better options I'm open to suggestion, but price wise I'd like to keep to similar money to the above speakers.

Cheers
Pat

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

Hi 54Kroc.

Thanks for getting in touch.

The Wharefdale Modus Cubes are not a speaker that we could supply

Might the Cambridge Min10 priced at £49.95 per spreaker or the Min20 priced at £89.95 per speaker

MIN10:

MIN20:
http://www.richersounds.com/product/bookshelf-speakers/cambridge-audio/minx-min20/camb-minx-min20-blk

On the Wharfedale CR30C I have no stock at the moment with no incoming date as of yet. The CR30 is priced at £89.95.
http://www.richersounds.com/product/centre-speakers/wharfedale/cr30c/whar-cr30c-blk

We do have one of the Q Acoustics 2000 series centres for sale at £99.95 (While Stocks last)

Let me know what you think.

Any questions please let me know.

Delivery on the items would cost just £12.99

Hi Chris,

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for getting back to me.

The total price for the 421, speakers and 2 pairs of Omnimounts is £332.79 / €415.98 inc delivery.

We have to work of our Euro rate in store which is 0.8. The best way we find is to put the sale through in GBP and let your bank sort the conversion.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Bad,

Thanks for getting in touch.

The total amount for the amp and blu-ray is £362.89 inc delivery. The 5 year for each works out at £27.99 for the amp and £9.95 for the blu-ray. So the total for the everything would be £400.83 / €501.03 inc delivery.

Both very good speaker packs. The Minx pack is excellent, great sound and all speakers including the sub are very neat.

The Boston is one of my personal favorites. Very good sound from such small speakers, the sub is fairly big. But it's worth it for the lower frequencies. The sub is a beast, will have your bones shaking. It also comes with the wall mounts included.

Wall mounts for the minx are seperate.

Let me know what you think.
