Description
Pioneer AV multi channel receiver / amplifier - VSX-2014i. This is a good friends item (lifelong pal of over 50 years & my best man!) He & his wife have just moved into temporary accomodation, having sold their barn convernsion, whilst their smaller bungalow has some building work completed before they finally move (downsize) and they simply can't retain an item of its size. So i offered to help sell it for him (he has no Ebay account) It's incredibly robust and very powerful - weighing in at over 15.5 kg and delivering 140W PC into 6 Ohms in Stereo or 100W PC into multiple souuround speakers. I have heard it working at a function one evening where it was used simply as a stereo amplifier via a phono stage to play old Vinyl.It is complete with power lead, Remote and is in very good condition less one slight, scuff mark on the from case top - please see picture 4. Please note he cannot provide operating instructions for this unit but it seems fairly self explanatory. However, there are several on line (And downloadable) operating instructions I've located via main search engines. This could not only be used as intended, as a comprehensive surround sound audio visual receiver (it has analogue FM & MW too), but simply as a very capable stereo amplifier with for example a CD player. It could be used with a turntable but would need a seperate phono stage amplifier fed into another amp input. (I have one of those available for minimal cost after just upgrading my own Cambridge audio AMP for one with an integral phono stage)The full description & highly impressive specification is as follows (taken off line from original product reviews):PIONEER VSX2014iS SILVER RECEIVER:Now you can create a professional sound stage right in your living room.

The items therefore either collectable from my address or ill help with meeting someone further away by meeting part way if that helps. Please just advise. Updated as EBay metrics advised courier collection up to 20kg on mainland Uk is only circa £10. I have sourced very robust protection for transit, if that option is preferred, as there is no original box or polystyrene inserts. I have tried to include all relevant details but given this is the first item ive sold for many years on Ebay i may have missed something - if any other specification or photos are required please message me and i'll do my best to get them sorted by return asap. Many thanks for looking i'm hoping this goes to a good home & Good luck with bidding.
