DTS X IMAX
the list goes on and on.
SOUND QUALITY
"The Pioneer VSX-LX305 immediately reveals one of the brand’s major strengths: a forthright and muscular delivery of multichannel film soundtracks. If you like your movies big and bold, this is the AV receiver for you to seriously consider. That’s not to say it’s bad with music, but there are more melodious options. Sound quality is top notch, clear and warm.
Pioneer Remote App is excellent, with a well-designed interface that’s a joy to use. It provides access to multiroom and streaming functionality, control features, and various setup options, including Dirac Live. The app-based interface for the latter is a first for an AV receiver." : Sound Advice.
Lets compare it to some other brands with similar specs: Marantz cinema 50 - 9.4 110W x 2 @ R59995
Denon X3800H 9.4 105W x 2 @ R46000
Considering the price vs the competition, this is a 10/10 receiver.
