The recognition for Pioneer’s 2009/10 home audio range continues with the VSX-LX52 AV Receiver awarded BEST RECEIVER OVER $1,000 at this year’s Best of The Best Awards, hosted and judged by Smarthouse magazine.
However, the accolades don’t stop there with Pioneer’s flagship SC-LX90 amplifier receiving a ‘Highly Commended’ award for BEST MULTI CHANNEL RECEIVER.
With a readership of 63,000, Smarthouse is a lifestyle tech magazine that covers hot topics across Appliances, Automotive, Automation, Digital Photography, Gaming, Home Cinema, Portable Players, Phones, Real Sound and TVs/large displays.

Impressed by the design and engineering prowess of Pioneer’s VSX-LX52, the Smarthouse citation reads:
“This receiver offers many features that rival devices twice its price. It has multi-zone audio, 1080p scaling, an iPod dock and it is THX Certified. Not only that, but it also looks sexy too with its polished black metal and large dimmable display. Considering that feature set, the price point is quite attractive.”
Equipped with HD audio decoding, iPod or iPhone connectivity, multi-room entertainment and HDMI inputs, the VSX-LX52 can be purchased as an individual item or part of Pioneer’s brand new Studio 3 Blu-ray home theatre package.
Studio 3 complements Pioneer's HD Blu-ray technology with the European designed and Japanese engineered Series 3 loudspeakers, all powered by the award-winning VSX-LX52 AV receiver.
