Sony or Pioneer?

Question

i want to buy a new home theater / dvd / speakers

Answer 1

Pioneer if you want the best.

Answer 2

I'd definitely go with Pioneer. Wait, I already have! Pioneer's high end stuff would slaughter sony. Pioneer invests far more money into audio technologies as that's primarily what they do. Sony spreads out over a wider range of areas, all of which take from the same budget. If you just want something mediocre though, I suppose you could take either one; mediocre is only mediocre.

Answer 3

I have had surround sounds/Home theaters for yrs now and i have had several receivers and so far i LOVE this sony i have now but i like kenwood speakers with it....the Sony head(receiver) just has more options than some of the other noname brands meaning how it runs the types of audio 2ch 5 ch stereo surround and so on.......also another difference is how ur source video(what ur watching) plays thru it....some heads wont let u run video thru the head meaning u will have to change channels or signals to ur tv...sony lets u run multiple sources thru the head then all u have to do is press whatever button u want o view or hear.....i.e....if u want o watch a dvd then hit the dvd button then hit the tv/sat button for tv or sat then hit the cd button to hear cd if u have a sep one and so on......SONY is DEFINITELY the way to go and trust me i will never go with anything else again....

Answer 4

Neither.

Go with an Onkyo, Denon, or Yamaha receiver.All three make very good bang for the buck A/V receivers between $300 and $600.

A DVD player.......go with anything brand name. Avoid the $35 off brands at Walmart. Make sure they have digital outputs, DTS decoding, etc.

Speakers.......this is where at least 2/3 of your budget should go towards. Look at Klipsch, Paradigm, or Boston Acoustics for decent midrange bookshelf or tower speakers.

Avoid Yamaha, Sony, other no names speakers and Bose.

Answer 5

If you can afford the Pioneer, go for it. Per my knowledge (which *might* be outdated by now), Pioneer is more towards "expert-stuff", which usually is more lasting. It's not impossible to find some 10-20 years old Pioneer's stuff that still works 100% (with exception of with newer CDs that got all that "copy-protection"-sheep that prevent's older stuff playing them).

Answer 6

Hi there. Is this for a HTIB (home theatre in a box).They are pretty much all the same.Because of the relatively low price of these units quality is sacrificed for convenience.If you can afford it buy separate components for a much better system.

Answer 7

They both have a fairly good track record ,but i would go with sony.

Answer 8

I guess it depends. But if you want a new home theatre....go for Sony...all the way
