About Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Elite 11.2 (Processing) Channel AV Receiver
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
74% highlighted the user interface, but 26% didn't
I use the Pioneer Remote App to control all aspects of the AVR without needing to have my monitor on.
The menu and interface of the stereo-receiver are somewhat ambiguous even with the other functions.
95% were impressed with the power output
The power output of the receiver is more than enough to pump my speakers far louder than I would ever want to.
77% were satisfied with the connectivity options
I chose the 505 over the 305 because it allows for the use of an external amp on nearly any channel(s).
83% found it compatible.
This stereo-receiver has 9 channels of amplification but 11 channels decoding, allowing for a full 7.2.4 Atmos setup with an external amp. It also supports HDMI 2.1 on all inputs, unlike many other AVRs.
