    Great price for an AVR with Dirac. Shame its got no speaker pre-outs though (only has preouts for Zone2).

    • Schrodinger on 04/12/2024 - 17:37

      Nice catch! When I saw the pre-outs I thought it has speaker pre outs too.

      Still, pretty good for the price!

      I have this, and set it up using Dirac on my phone using the Pioneer app. I was unable to get Dirac on my Mac laptop to work with it.
      So far, I like the AVR. Every now and then when using Nintendo Switch, the screen goes black for 3 seconds and comes back. I haven't tried to troubleshoot to find if this is the TCL TV or the AVR.
      I paid $1499 about 6 weeks ago, which was the best price around at the time.

        Try better quality and shorter HDMI cables between all the devices.

        I was getting intermittent drops as you describe, and this was resolved with better cables (with no splitters).

        • jazzninja on 04/12/2024 - 19:11

          Thanks. I will try a better cable for the Nintendo. I have good ones for AVR to TV and PC to AVR.

        • MagnamoniousRex on 05/12/2024 - 08:40

          At the Switch's resolution it would have to be an absolutely dire cable

    Can it output as 5.1.4 atoms setup?

    • Mechz on 04/12/2024 - 17:44

      Yes.

    • jazzninja on 04/12/2024 - 17:47

      Yes. Page 25 and 31 of the manual show 5.1.4 with a variety of options (top front, top middle, dolby-enhanced…).
      I'm running it with 5.1.2 plus zone 2.

    Does anybody know how this compares to the Denon X3800h?

    Looking up upgrade from my X1700h for Dirac and dual subs

    • fatcat83 on 04/12/2024 - 17:56

      I'm thinking of x3800h also. I saw on sale for $1999 at Selby but has gone back up to $2499.

      • lachhelix on 05/12/2024 - 00:06
        +1

        Speak to them - they'll very likely offer it at $1999

    • Morien on 04/12/2024 - 18:23
      +8

      X3800H is more on the level of the Onkyo RZ50 or Pioneer VSXLX505, so there is a few levels of separation between them.

      Without comparing directly:
      - Denon doesn't come with Dirac onboard (paid extra), but can be upgraded to Direc Live Bass Control (with multiple subs, see next point).
      - Denon has indépendant subwoofer outs.
      - Denon has higher power.
      - Denon has pre outs in case you want to have more channels or need more power.
      - Denon can set crossovers independently.

      I'd get the Denon, especially since you are looking for the dual subs. Just keep in mind you will need to pay more than just sticker price to also get Dirac.

    Favourable reviews for this online everywhere. At this price not bad, not bad at all.

    • Store RepVideopro @ Videopro on 05/12/2024 - 11:14

      Thanks for the kind words! The VSX-LX305 has definitely earned its reputation for delivering great performance and features. At $1,295, it’s an excellent deal for anyone looking to upgrade their home theatre setup. Let us know if you have any questions - we’re here to help!

  • toastface on 04/12/2024 - 17:57

    Anyone know of a receiver with a built in CD player, that's much cheaper than this? Something entry level

    • Morien on 04/12/2024 - 18:16
      +1

      Unlikely to find anything like that that isn't heavily used.

      Unless you'd be content with something like this

      • toastface on 05/12/2024 - 07:13

        Yeah that’s fair. I have a record player and speakers already, but I need to be able to play CDs. Was looking at a Yamaha CD-S303 and there’s a similar looking Yamaha receiver. Just gets quite pricey. I also don’t know a lot about this world.

        Have you ever thought about doing stand-up?

  • kulprit on 04/12/2024 - 18:06

    Should be a very nice receiver. Would have picked this over the NR7100 (although it's pretty nice too)

  • Stzaa83 on 04/12/2024 - 18:17
    +2

    Damn, I was thinking of selling mine (moving house and no need for a surround system any more), but it's now available new for half price!
    I can recommend it though - it was on my shortlist as it integrated nicely with Google home, Spotify connect etc.. and it's been performing really well for the 2 years I've had it.
    Dirac for room correction works really well too!

  • Morien on 04/12/2024 - 18:20
    +1

    This is Pioneer's equivalent to Onkyo NR7100 (same company, different brands).

    Main difference being that the speaker crossover (where it passes off low frequency to the subwoofer) is set independently on the Onkyo (can set Front, Centre, Rears at different frequencies) vs local on the Pioneer (all speakers are level matched).

    This may or may not be a big deal to you. At this price point, I'd think a lot of people might not really care.

    • vinni9284 on 05/12/2024 - 07:33

      I would spend a little more or wait for a decent price/discount on a unit that has pre-outs. IMO this unit will struggle when turned up. At least a 505 will be suffice in a decent sized room.

  • bigtom_999 on 04/12/2024 - 18:22

    I just picked up an Onkyo 7100, it was between this model or the Onkyo for +$100: online comparisons mentioned that you couldn't modify the crossover frequency on each channel and had to set a global crossover frequency on the pioneer: the Onkyo could do it per channel. For the small price difference I thought it was worth it but for $300 I dont really know.

    Edit: I am a mega noob just entering HT for the first time so I don't really know what I'm doing - both options have dirac which I read is good so we'll see.

  • Gebb on 04/12/2024 - 18:54

    Would love a Yamaha equivalent at this discount

  • VVilf on 04/12/2024 - 19:22

    Hmm tempted. Or should I order the VSX-LX805 for US$1500 from bestbuy + pay around $350 to a reshipper? Just heard some are not trustworthy which makes me hesitate.

    • bigtom_999 on 04/12/2024 - 19:49
      +1

      Wouldn't that be 110v? You'd need a transformer. We really get done here in Aus re: prices..

    • vinni9284 on 05/12/2024 - 07:19

      I'm sure there are Onkyo, Integra equivalents here for a decent price? Plus you need to spend $$ for a step down transformer. It'll be harder to resell if you upgrade.
      IMO, this model will lack power for a larger room and hasn't even got pre-outs. Definitely the 505 will be at least minimal unit I'll get.

    • Store RepVideopro @ Videopro on 05/12/2024 - 14:13

      Great points raised here! While importing the VSX-LX805 might seem tempting at first glance, there are a few things to consider:

      Voltage Compatibility: Yes, US models are typically 110V, so you'd need a reliable step-down transformer, which adds to the cost and complexity of setup.
      Warranty & Support: Purchasing locally ensures you get full warranty coverage and easy access to service if needed - something you won’t have with an imported unit.
      Resale Value: As mentioned, a 110V model might be harder to resell here in Australia if you ever decide to upgrade.

      If you're considering a more powerful model with pre-outs, the Pioneer VSX-LX505 or Onkyo RZ50 are fantastic options available locally. They offer added flexibility and power while avoiding the risks of importing. Let us know if you'd like help finding the right solution.

  • ChaLuo on 04/12/2024 - 21:19

    AVR and speaker packs. Does anyone still remember $300 Sherwood receivers from JB hifi and $150 5.1 speaker packs from eBay ("dream acoustics”).

    • Mumbles on 08/12/2024 - 10:22
      +1

      Those were the days when I got started into HiFi. I posted a deal for $199 JBL 5.1 speakers at Costco in 2014. My AVR was $180 on clearance from Allens in 2003. A Panasonic SA-HE90 RRP $1000, Panasonic's top of the line Class D amplifier, 100 Watts per channel.

      Those prices are long gone. There was way more competition and warehouses weren't replaced by Just In Time ordering and Business-2-Business. Surround systems were sold everywhere at Dick Smith, Myers, David Jones, WOW Sight & Sound, even Clints Crazy Bargains/The Warehouse.

        Good times

  • GreenRomeo on 04/12/2024 - 22:06

  • Dazbug on 05/12/2024 - 08:06

    I've had this receiver for about 8 months. Dirac is fantastic. Some handshake blank screens for 3 seconds or so when tv/receiver changes inputs but think this is more the LG tv and not the receiver. I have high quality hdmi certified cables as well.

    For the price, this is a steal and I run a 5.4.2 set up and has more than enough power (running with klipsch reference speakers)

  • kungfuman on 05/12/2024 - 09:06

    yeah I have the full surround sound equipment back when jb hifi cut cables to length in store. Back when they had quality home theatre stuff made to order and they used to install. alot of the equipment is Pioneer so that stuff lasts, not sure if the newer models last as long. But they are good.

  • Punkboy on 05/12/2024 - 11:37

    Would this be adequate to drive Focal Chora 826?

    • Store RepVideopro @ Videopro on 05/12/2024 - 14:05

      Yes, the Pioneer VSX-LX305 can absolutely drive the Focal Chora 826 speakers with no issues! The Chora 826 needs 40-250W per channel, and the LX305 delivers 100W per channel at 8 ohms (20Hz-20kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 channels driven), which is more than enough for most setups.

      If you're running fewer channels, the LX305 can push even more power to each, so you'll have plenty of headroom. For the best experience though, adding a dedicated power amplifier could really bring out the full potential of the Chora 826.

      Here to help with anything else you need!

  • bleeder on 05/12/2024 - 11:40

    I thought no-one buys these since the 90s

  • meumax on 05/12/2024 - 12:21

    This is a great deal. I paid $1,750 for the Integra equivalent of this exact model earlier this year. Though to be fair, the Integra version does have pre-outs and can set the crossovers independantly.

    Hey OP, can you confirm the watts per channel for this receiver please?

    • Store RepVideopro @ Videopro on 05/12/2024 - 14:00

      Great question! The Pioneer VSX-LX305 delivers 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms (20Hz-20kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 channels driven). It's designed to provide clear, powerful sound, making it a solid choice for most home theatre setups. Let us know if you have any other questions!

  • Valik on 06/12/2024 - 17:17

    I see online that there are 2 versions of this receiver. The VSX-LX305 & VSX-LX305 Elite. Are they actually the same or is it just a different name for overseas markets?

    • JerryGee on 07/12/2024 - 18:13

      Yes same, They use the Elite phrase in usa.
