New 2012 VSX AV receivers launched by Pioneer

[Dr.Jones]

Pioneer has already launched their VSX line with 3D and Bluetooth goodness previously but then now they are unveiling their new 2012 AV receivers portfolio to share their offerings, there are three products namely VSX-522, VSX-822 which are lower-end models, they will come with 5.1 surround audio but then the difference between VSX-522 and VSX-822 is lack of AirPlay as well as Bluetooth on the former, the premium one is VSX-1022 where as the top one is VSX-1122 which will be having 7.1 sound, DLNA with 1080p upscaling, which will be just great for years, so guys be prepared for spending between $249 to $599 if you all are willing to add them to your setup.

Pioneer VSX-1021-K is one of the best according to me. It is a 7.1 channel av receiver which is good for your audio needs. The best thing that I like about this receiver is airplay support. That means you can simply play your iTunes music over it via Airplay. So you can enjoy a high quality theater sound on this device. You must check for good wifi capabilities when you plan to buy such kind of device.
