I understand this but I'm asking how we, as consumers, can get the real low-down on how our audio gear is actually performing. Sure, I might like the sound but am I really getting the documented performance?

And IMO, Pioneer (which I know you are looking at) is a poor choice for audio equipment. Like Sony, they make great video equipment but generally mediocre audio gear (especially amps). I'd go with an Onkyo/Integra or Denon personally. In my case I'm using an Integra Pre/Pro and Parasound Power Amp.
Unfortunately, I haven't had much experience with non-Pioneer audio gear but the experience I've had with the Pioneer gear has been great.

Peace...
