Deal Details
For those that may be after this 805 BB has OB for $1838, new is $1999.
Not the lowest but the low price($1500) has not replicated, unlikely to do so imo.

There are slight differences between the Onkyo RZ70, for the most part they are the same.

FYI this is the one Pioneer that does not have global crossovers.
Has 4 sub outs, 3 & 4 run parallel/mono.

This series sounded out the box nice and rich years back, but they had major issues. Likely they fixed those issues. Not that the "sound" out of an amp is really something I consider these days.

Looks like a good unit. But as mentioned, it costs a bit more than the RZ70 or pass sale prices. Of course, we can't expect those prices to come back with current conditions such as the tariffs affecting retail product prices. I am waiting for the Marantz Cinema 50 or a Denon since they come with the A1EVO.

If you haven't, might check in store Best Buy(s) near you.
As reported they are closing some of their Magnolia section.
Clearing out products, people reported seeing/getting the 3800 for $679 and the Cinema 50 for $1050.

No luck here I would have grabbed the 50 for that price to replace my 3800!

I would stay away from the 805, especially w/comparable units in the RZ70 and the DRX 8.4. Pioneer pulled its license from the PAC group so make sure you understand the risk risk of not having future product support!

What license are you talking about?
Stay away because of this supposedly license issue?
