" I recently reviewed the Pioneer Elite SC-09TX flagship and found it to be one of the classiest-looking AVRs I've ever used. The SC-05 isn't far behind, even though it lists for only one quarter of the SC-09's $7000 price tag. Lacking the full-color LCD screen from the SC-09, a more traditional text-based display graces the SC-05's front panel. The build quality is solid, although not as impressive as the flagship model, which boasts a dual-chassis structure versus a single-chassis design in the SC-05. Unfortunately, Pioneer chose to use a non-detachable power cord, a rarity in this price class. "
