Pioneer VSX 516-S

Pioneer VSX 516-S ... to medium sized home theater. With 700 watts total system power, the "516" will a drive a full-blown 7.1 speaker array and a 6.1 Dolby Digital EX or DTS -ES soundtrack all over your living room. If you don't need or want or can't have 7.1 speakers and are happy with a 5.1 system; no worries, go ahead and use the 2 extra surround-back amplifiers to help drive your main front left and right speakers. That's an extra 200 watts up front! With more and more music going into PC's, laptops, and portable devices, you might want some of that music played through the 'big system" in the living room. The VSX-516 knows you're coming and has a new, very cool DSP (digital signal processing) technique called "Sound Retriever" to help bring CD quality to compressed audio formats.
