fwiw i've used the 80txv in my bedroom for over 12 years--it still works flawlessly and sounds surprisingly good, with more power than you'd expect. $250 does seem pricey for it but it's a good piece. of the others, i think the 94txh was their totl model around 2008 or so--i always thought the pioneer elite ht stuff was a notch above the competition.
