Porkie, couldn't agree more mate, I love Pioneer stuff, without sounding anal about it I recently bought the following setup

Pioneer 428XD Plasma
Pioneer LX50 Amp
Pioneer DV600 upscaling DVD player
PS3
Sky HD
Kef IQ9 fronts
Kef IQ1 rears
Kef Iq6c center
Kef PSW2500 sub

...that little package is fucking awesome in my tiny 12 x 12 lounge!!!
