With its 7 power amplifiers and rich sound, the Pioneer VSX-835DAB is a good playing partner for affordable entry-level home cinemas. However, due to downgrades in the B grade (features and practicality), it only achieves a "satisfactory" rating.

The Pioneer VSX-835DAB is the first choice for affordable home cinema sound, at least if you value 3D sound. The number of inputs and the power of the amplifiers should be sufficient for most living room cinemas, and as the icing on the cake, there is also a receiver for DAB radio in the evening, as well as the option of supplying a second zone in stereo.
