I've always liked the performance and sound quality of Pioneer receivers. My last one was the SC-99. A few months ago, I switched to this LX-805, and it's very powerful with excellent sound and a competitive price for a receiver in this category that includes Dirac Live. My only complaint is the control app interface, as the previous one was much more intuitive and user-friendly, but once you get used to it, it's worth it, considering the performance of the LX-805.

I purchased this receiver for upgrading my TV to 4K so I had to have a receiver which is 4K compatible. I always have had Yamaha’s. However, I was recommended to buy this one in the beginning i had problem with the Wi-Fi connecting and disconnecting, however after a few months of owning it, I learned that Pioneer does not make great AirPlay or network connectivity receivers. However, recently I purchased an extra eero router and connected it by ethernet cable to the receiver. That’s the only way you can have an uninterrupted connection to network and AirPlay otherwise, you have to reset the receiver almost every 24 hours. Overall, this is an awesome receiver. The best I ever had.

I'm super satisfied with my amp paired with my Klipsch. Sounds like I'm in the IMAX theaters and when listening to music. Sounds like you're in a studio. Great amp
