I picked up a Pioneer SC-68 this week but due to an ongoing renovation I haven't been able to set it up yet. I'll be pairing it up with a set of Polk LSiM703's. The reno is scheduled to be completed by early August. I'm not sure I can wait that long to get the 68 set up. Ordered some SP2 speaker cables from Morrow Audio this afternoon so I'm hoping that they get here in time for the set up.

Any others with a new Elite 6x series receiver? I realize they are fairly new to the market but I'm a bit surprised at the lack of thoughts and reviews online...

    Thats because they just came out. We are a Pioneer dealer and don't have them yet. I would be the first one to review the SC-68 as I have been waiting for it to hit the store.

    I'm still rocking a SC-07.

    I'm in Canada and shocked that I have my SC-68 before you've even seen your stock come in. We're usually the last to get the new toys!

    The SC-07 has the B&O Ice amps I believe...did you find much difference between the SC-07 and the SC-55/57 from last year? I'm hoping the new 6x series are up to snuff....I bought it based on reviews I read about the previous models.

    If you do a search , I did a head to head shootut with pic's on here. I took home the SC-57 and was thinking of upgrading. After my review you'll see why I didn't yet. I want to so bad or move away and go into NAD which I really like but will miss my features on the Elite. Not to mention the ELite stands up to the NAD quite well for just over half the price.
