A couple of days with the VSX-915.......2005-12-29

This is my first multichannel receiver, an upgrade from a 25 year old Onkyo Stereo System.

I'm running mixed speakers, no sub-woofer. The main front speakers are the big 6 ohm Onkyo's, the back speakers are small Bose 161's, and the center speaker is a pair of Altec Lansing 641's. Automatic setup and calibration seemed to work well, except that the end result was a bit bright. Changing to "F-align" so that the large Onkyo speakers were not leveled to match the small bookcase speakers restored base and depth.

Overall I'm very pleased, the one problem I've found so far is that I've not been able to get the Composite to S-video up conversion to work. This is not a major concern, but I still hope to resolve this and have sent an e-mail to Pioneer about the issue.
