Any internet/mail order authorized Pioneer Premier dealers?

[Chad T 10+ year member]

I'm mainly a home A/V guy and know that there are a few places like Hippos that sell Pioneer Elite authorized via mail order at great prices. Are there any Pioneer Premier authorized online dealers out there you'd recommend?

pioneer premier products are not authorized to be sold on the internet, a couple places sell them but ebay is cheaper. I just got my p880prs today from ebay and holy shit its sweet. Even with the factory speakers it sounds 100x better, no distortion at all, I really am amazed. Hope my components and amps arrive soon.

Premier is a protected line from pioneer that they only allow their Independents to deal. In that I mean they dont release the line to be sold in Best Buy, Ciruit City, Future Shop etc. They also dont authorize any online dealing of that line. For what its worth most of the premier products are the same as the standard pioneer products at the same level. Ie a Pioneer DEHP4800 is basiclly the same as a Pioneer DEHP480 which is the premier version.

just a few small features and another full year of warranty may appeal to some tho.

Ya absolutly, although on those particular decks I believe the only difference is the Gold Plated Preouts (dont really matter in Car), The Gold Badging that says Premier on the face plate (cosmetic) and the 2 year warrenty, which if he wants to buy off the net to save money isnt gonna be availible to him anyways so its a non factor

also, some premier units offer better preout voltages, as well as some tuning capabilities
