Pioneer Elite VSX-49TXi THX Ultra-2_Reduced!

I am selling my beautiful Pioneer Elite VSX-49TXi that has been situated in a smoke free/pet free environment. It has had lite usage over the past 8 years, and has always provided an utterly silken soundstage, with sheer transparency and power. The LCD Commander (remote) and mic are included, and are in excellent condition. I will post some high res photos shortly. In the mean time, please take a moment to review the following excerpt from Utlimate AVmags professional review:

"The VSX-49TX produced the richest, biggest sonic picture I've heard in my listening room. Even in 2-channel mode, the sound never hovered on the speaker surfaces, but instead floated effortlessly across the front soundstage, presenting music the way a good high-end audio system does. Multichannel music was presented with even greater authority, size, and weight. Add the outstanding remote�the first LCD device to accompany a receiver that I can enthusiastically recommend�an easy-to-use OSD, the best receiver manual yet, and the unit's good looks, and you have one of the best, if not the best, A/V receiver on the market today. Expensive, but easily worth the money."

This VSX-49TXi has a four-chamber copper shielded chassis construction and huge storage capacitors, extra large extruded aluminum heat sinks, a frame reinforced isolated chamber, single and double layered transformer stabilizer, gold insulator and aluminum front panel, all indicators of the exceptional quality construction for which this Flagship Elite is know for.
