I ordered it on friday, scheduled delivery is the 12-19th. I hope to have a mini-review on it shortly after that. I called Pioneer and had them fax me a fact and info sheet on the VSX-9300TX and as far as I can tell, it's the same receiver as the Pioneer Elite VSX-54TX, except that it comes with the remote for the VSX-55/56TXi which is a 2 line lcd illuminated learning remote. The price was $769 before shipping and 4 yr performance plan(bargain at $35 imho).
