Today only, as part of its Gold Box Deals of the Day, Huppins (100% positive feedback past 12 months) via Amazon is offering a selection of Pioneer Elite networked A/V home theater receivers from $639 shipped. Our top pick is the Elite VSX-LX105 7.2-Channel Networked HDMI 2.1 8K A/V Receiver for $639. Down from $798, today’s deal delivers $159 in saving and marks the second-best price that we’ve tracked so far at Amazon. In fact, it’s only $10 above the 2023 low so far which was set back in February. This receiver has quite a lot of premium features, all enabled by the use of HDMI 2.1. For example, it supports 4K 120Hz HDR pass-through with variable refresh rate for enjoying your favorite games at the highest quality. Of course, HDMI 2.1 also brings 8K60 support too should you have a higher-end TV or projector. On top of that, you’ll find Chromecast built-in, Sonos support, AirPlay 2, and more for connected functionality. And, while it doesn’t natively support height speakers, there is Dolby Atmos height virtualization which virtually creates that more in-depth experience. Keep reading for more.

Save a few bucks with the VIZIO 5.1.2-channel Sound System, which is available on Amazon for $380 shipped. While it’s not a 7.2-channel full-blown receiver like on sale above, you’re still getting a high-end experience while keeping an extra $259 in your pocket. It also supports native Dolby Atmos for the upward-firing speakers for a more immersive setup.

Now, if you’re looking for a TV to match your new home theater speaker setup, then consider the gallery-style LG 120Hz Posé Smart 4K TV that’s on sale for over $350 off. Down to $1,440 at Amazon, this marks the lowest price that we’ve tracked so far. Then, swing through our home theater guide for other great ways to upgrade your setup.
