Probably too late now but I have one to rehome that is fully functioning, say in our hallway for the past two years as too heavy to move!Morning all.
My 2001 AX10i-s is defying attempts to repair it and I need think about alternatives.
It's been used to drive a B&W 805 7.1 HT system for many years but also an external 7.1 system.
My plan is to replace with a Denon AVC8500 for internal use and was hoping use it solely for 7.1 Evid 6.2's outside. They need some power to drive and the AX10 was doing a nice job of that.
Would be great know of a budget but powerful alternative for the AX10i-s that any of you have. Ideally one with HDMI as we have an outdoor projection system as well but power and build quality on audio is number 1 requirement.
Can see loads of well priced Pioneer units on ebay but not sure which have the horse power needed. The AX10 definitely had that in spade fulls.
If I could get the Pioneer repaired then I would absolutely take that option ... I believe it's the DSP board ... it occasionally bursts into life and then goes to sleep again for weeks!!! I love this unit and had it forever and it's worked it's nuts off. And indeed environmentally I like keeping stuff going till the wheels fall off. If anyone knows a quality repair outfit that could fix it then that would be great too.
Thanks in advance
Morning Simon and apologies for the slow reply.Probably too late now but I have one to rehome that is fully functioning, say in our hallway for the past two years as too heavy to move!
100% .... the AX10i was one of those products that precisely as you say, makes you smile.Hi, you’re welcome! Funnily enough I just finished my first venture into eBay selling (bought loads!) a few days ago with this amp (AX10-Ai-s)and I got £365 for it. Exactly like you I was more concerned with finding it a good home than the cash as it’s still in great condition. I was considering offering it for free round the local village but now glad that I didn’t! I must admit if it had HDMI inputs (and didn’t weigh so much!) I would still be using it. It always made me smile the way the living room lights dimmed briefly when I switched it on, those capacitors must be real monsters! I always found the LCD screen a bit hard to see though even when backlit.
I have a PV1 as well (an original one without the display) and I really rate it. Matched up to 2004 vintage Kef Q series speakers in a 7.1 arrangement driven by an SC-LX56. The original Kef sub was pants by comparison to the B&W, I traded it in. All still giving sterling service, though we may be moving to a smaller place soon in which case may replace the Kef with B&W M-1’s. Any experience of those?
All the best,
Simon
