Pioneer’s impressive R&D
department has a mission
statement etched above the
door: “Never ending quest for
innovative products that touch
the heart through customer
driven innovation.”
Basically, if you want it, Pioneer’s boffins
imagine it. And then make it happen.
Or they’ll take an idea, and refine it to the
nth degree, marrying elegant form and
function to dazzling effect.
In recent years, Pioneer’s Kuro plasma TVs
have become every reviewers’ pet, and
it’s easy to see why: they generate velvet,
deep, matt blacks which lead to vibrant
colour reproduction, ensuring that images
are clear, accurate and utterly captivating.
Ask your local Richer Sounds to switch one
on and prepare to be amazed.
