4 Ohm Speaker With Pioneer Receiver

...The Pile PTA 1000 is intended to power up that 15 Dayton 4 ohm speaker that consumes power past the point of usefulness. Allthough the instalation is incomplete, it powers up smartly and has good monitoring fetures. I like it. If I get any more excuses from those 5 and 3 channel amplifiers ,I will replace them all with banks of Piles. ... Solidly built, American made and, Pile will stand behind their product. If for whatever reason it does'nt performe, they will be there.It will be fixed or replaced. I have the anth...m preamp and power amps for home use. Let me tell you about it....! Pile has all the cards!

I used this for my pioneer receiver, tv & home theater projector it works great.

I bought the Yamaha A-S301 to replace an aging 1998 Pioneer receiver. The Yamaha delivers more solid bass. Perhaps less treble, but less treble distortion. For example, you can distinguish between different crash or ride cymbals. Horn sections are very clear, without harshness. I listen mostly to CDs, so the optical input is nice. I use efficient Klipsch R-820F tower speakers, so the Yamaha has plenty of headroom.

I replaced an ancient Pioneer receiver with this one and couldn't be more pleased. The up-to-date features like Bluetooth are are a big plus, especially at the price point. As a retired choral and instrumental conductor, I wanted the best I could afford.

This unit replaced my failing Pioneer receiver. After much research, the great reviews and the price point of this unit were the selling factors for me. The Sony is easy to set up and I am very happy with my purchase. The Sound from my surround sound speakers is much better than with the older unit I had. This Sony is a great product for a very reasonable cost.

Was a Pioneer fan boy till their Elite receiver and Blu Ray player failed me after 2 yrs of usage. Read allot of recommendations about Denon and decided to try their 5.2 A/V receiver offering. My 'Sierra 2' sounded so alive and present now with the headroom to go more. What a difference in sound.

I have been testing a lot of speakers with the kind of music I listen to, mostly Classical, Pop, R&B, Jazz and all genres of Indian music. I do blind test, that means I actually blind fold few audiophile friends and play all kinds of songs that we listen to. Out of all the speakers I tested (Klipsh, Pioneer (by Andrew Jones), Polk, JBL, Elac), I found the Sony SSC-S3 speakers the best. I don't understand how Sony could design and build a speaker for this price. It is quite astonishing! The other speakers are much more expensive and they lack clarity. I felt that most of the other brand speakers (except the Pioneer SP-FS52) are probably good for boom-boom Home theatre kind of content. I liked the Pioneer a lot but the Sony is much better than that. What surprises me is the crispness, clarity, detail that the Sony speakers are able to produce. It is astonishing! Hats off to the designers, engineers and the entire team that built this Speaker. I have a serious suggestion for Sony: Why don't you print the name of the person(s) who designed the SSC-S3 speakers on the box and the speaker? The person or people behind such a great speaker deserve a lot of recognition. I sincerely hope you will follow my suggestion. Thanks SSC-S3 team and Sony.

4th one I have bought and installed. Have 2 more to go.
