Pioneer lowers prices on Elite A/V receivers again, the well-heeled respond with derision


Pioneer is introducing a new batch of Elite A/V receivers aimed at making the line more affordable .

Here are some features:

The VSX-30 and VSX-31 feature iPhone and iPod control via Pioneer's iControl AV app, HDMI 1.4a with 3D support, THX Select2 Plus audio, and an Ethernet port for accessing Sirius XM, Rhapsody, and files off of your home network. If that weren't enough, they've even thrown in an composite video cable for your iPod / iPhone so you can enjoy your portable audio and video on the big screen.
The VSX-30 will run you $550, while the VSX-31 is going for a cool $650. It's not exactly a Swarovski-bejewled HTPC
