Convinced VSX 924 of sound

Pioneer VSX-924-K 7.2 Network AV receiver (150 watts per channel, Airplay, ext. Control, Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, gapless playback, Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, multizone) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Have 924 since 4 weeks and am surprised the VSX. After another six weeks still convinced.
The guided setup went without any problems with me on the TV, even though I have made myself beforehand about the BDA smart.
Have him be automatically calibrate (MCACC), supplied by Micro on a tripod (at ear level, with
built spirit level). Used to expert mode.
Now he is fully convincing with the tone correction symmetry.

Have at home an old Harman / Kardon PM 640Vxi stereo amplifier, these two have now compared.
Meticulously and with various audio test CD's. Heard of the premises, etc. the same as my Harman / Kardon.
However, with the tone correction Symetrie he hits the Harman / Kardon, because it eliminates the rumble of bass and standing waves.
Tested with a swept sine, once from 200 Hz down to 20 Hz and from 20 Hz up to 200 Hz - that is, the areas where the room acoustics the frequency response most bends.
When comparing with the Michael Jackson CD Bad title Dirty Diana and Smooth Criminal, be it sounded like my old Harman Kardon. Intro by Smooth Criminal was really like a heartbeat.
Now the CD STEREOPLAY 06/2014 Natural Bass Track 8 Tschaikovsky 1812 inserted. Recorded by Erich Kunzel and the Telarc-sound engineers. Since proper cannons are fired .... The guns are unlike many competitors delightfully dry, almost square in their bass energy. Just play the VSX 924 from this and not otherwise.

Use it for 2.0 stereo to 2-way bass reflex speaker DIY VIB of VISATON, modified by the authorized dealer of my choice.

Positives:
- Space
-. Shades div instruments such as the same sounds of two related instruments (groups).
Blades distinguished clean. Just div. Vocals.
- Variety of colors
- Pressure (bass) without a subwoofer very high as mentioned above.
- Sound via USB stick with WAV and MP3.
- Tuner is also ok. Choose strong stations and wire antenna spread high and horizontal
- DVD connected via YUV and analogue stereo absolutely no offset between sound and film.
- 9 band equalizer for individual adjustment of the own Hörgeschmacks. Not quite as easy to participate in the
To come settings, but it has not been necessary for me.
- Auto Surround also works when STEREO 2.0. Sound is wider (spatial).
- ALC works similar loudness.
- Gapless function even with MP3 files, depending on the ribs (Ripper software, settings, and the use
Encoders) more than [...] or general details:

- Existing preamp as you can his fond old stereo amplifier via a
Connect Hochtonpegeleingang and thus continue to listen with this stereo.

Negatives:
- App control only possible with mobile phone from Android 4.1.
- Remote control hooked if you consecutively presses the buttons too quickly or by remote control during the
Keystrokes switching to device operation.
- Supplied WLAN adapter I have until now can not install with Lan cable no problem.
- If you listen, for example, WAV or MP3 through USB, there is no option for when (off) the last
Position to save to hear when you start at the last position. At least I have in this regard
nothing found.
- One or two strong stations (eg SWR3) is partially received only as mono (Tuner).

So I can recommend the VSX 924. My speakers are not optimal (distance from the wall at the corners about 40 cm
pulled out, next to closet) while the VSX 924 sounds really convincing good.
For other speakers, larger room, other room acoustics etc. may change a lot.
Placing the speakers eg Squaring, Wall distance, stereo triangle and adjust the tweeter (vertical and horizontal) to the listening position, this may also affect.

I still give it 5 stars, the sound makes it. He plays with my old Harman / Kardon stereo amplifier PM 640Vxi
in the same league. For my Harman / Kardon I still get on Ebay 50.- to 70.- Euro, at a purchase price of DM 675.- !! This is probably evidence enough, right !?
And pigs might fly, there is now no time. Somewhere you have to make (small) smears.

Addendum of 01/15/2015:
Now I have my old H / K PM640 Vxi as spare parts / defect for 54.88 euros on Ebay selling. The volume pot did not work correctly.

Had also tried the Yamaha RX-V775. I liked him better of the haptics (Master Volume, Input Selector) and the Alufrontplatte, compared to the Pioneer VSX-923rd Only the design is too restless. But the ugly depression for VIDEO AUX, Video and USB port. But these can be provided with a matching lid, but the cost about 8.50 euros inc. Despatch! Simply inexplicable!
Now this in the bass (bass) was unusable on my LS. Even after the automatic calibration noticed this should be no discrimination, my wife, daughter and son as well. Surely you could try the Yamaha RX-V775, to manually adjust with more or less effort in the deep bass range. But perhaps with a matching subwoofer !? Only my og speakers do not need a subwoofer, so the Yamaha RX-V775 declined.

Tip: - The AVR / amplifier first connect the Pure Direct mode, as you can hear whether this among other things the
Deep bass brings or not. So I have done the Yamaha RX-V775 above.
With a sine 20 Hz to 20 kHz (20 Hz to 20,000 Hz), the linearity of the amplifier with / and the
Check speakers. This should theoretically all be identical frequencies.

So the sound is great all over the living room and in the adjacent areas, the best course on the above your listening position.

By comparing audiophile music and sounds you realize what the VSX 924 can afford because it is difficult and makes (almost) can not hear a fun bad shots. Sounds just everything somehow flat (lack of dynamism). Very few recordings include the original dynamics. Dear trick technicians to simulate more volume. Our hearing and your equipment can expose the compression commonly used. Particularly sensitive our ears lifting and lowering louder quieter places responds to dynamic compression in the / m human voice / singing.
Not for nothing, the merit of this is taken up and be old recordings of eg the 70 years remastered. Sometimes this is done makes sense or not.
