What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

 The Denon offers much more in the way of features, and the sound is much better when it's being used for movies. Really this is true for streaming music too. The Pioneer sounds muddy when streaming music from Spotify or Apple. The Denon sounds crystal clear

 The Pioneer sounds like a cheap substitute.  I really wish Onkyo would have done a better job on the Pioneer 505. However it seems like they've limited its features to make the Rz50 look better.  I will be sending the Pioneer back

 The Onkyo has the ability to adjust the crossover frequencies for each speaker, and the Pioneer does not. This, along with a few other missing features is confusing, as the Pioneer is $100 more expensive. So you get more features with the Onkyo, and the price is cheaper. It's no wonder the RZ50 is impossible to find

 The Denon is also orders of magnitude better when it comes to movies. Everything sounds more immersive, as if the sound is not coming from your speakers, but instead, it's coming from all around your room. The Pioneer sounds like a cheap substitute.  I really wish Onkyo would have done a better job on the Pioneer 505

Almost good

I'm a HT newbie planning on building a basement home theater from scratch. Its a long, narrow, short room (19Lx\~11Wx6'4"H). 

I'm planning on getting the Yamaha RX-A4A which is a 7.2 receiver. Gaming and Movies are the priority for us.   I have a 65" TV but may upgrade to 77", theres plenty of length and I plan to do two tiers of seating.   

That said, even after reviewing the speaker buying guide I have no idea the most appropriate speaker set up to have a compatible set in the right configuration.   From what I can tell it would better to go 5.1.2 rather than 7.1, which I think makes sense since the surrounds can emulate rears but the heights add another dimension. 

However would this work with two tiers of seating? the back seats would have the surrounds and 'rears' in front of them. The back row wouldn't be the primary seating but would it be annoying for those sitting back there?   

I was thinking booking shelfs for the front stage and then in-wall/ceiling for the surrounds and heights.  I have a budget of around $2k for the full speaker set (or I could start with smaller set and expand in the future). I care much more for clarity than volume and don't need it to get that loud. I also hate when a setup has drown out dialogue and want to make sure to prioritize quality dialogue. What speakers would you recommend for this configuration?

What speaker set would you recommend for this room given my preferences?

 Bluetooth not malfunctioning on any other receivers only this one. Final thought: this receiver has great functionality and sounds fantastic. But the Bluetooth issues are very annoying. Should not need to reboot everything for this to work correctly

 Hope I don't have to update the review as I am seeking a long-term relationship with this unit.  Update: less than two weeks, when trying to stream Pandora -Bluetooth would pair then disconnect 3 times. Then unit shutoff. Hard reboot (unplug from elect

 But the Bluetooth issues are very annoying. Should not need to reboot everything for this to work correctly.

Cancelled the first order

I am moving houses in a few weeks and picked up everything I want for the new set up.

5.2.4

* **Fronts:** KEF R3 - $2,200.
* **Center:** KEF R2c - $1,300.
* **Surrounds:** KEF Q350 - $750.
* **Subs:** VTF-3 MK5 HP DualDrive - $1,900.
* **Atmos:** Polk Audio SC60 - $320.
* **Receiver:** Denon AVR-X3700H - $1,500

TOTAL: $8,000

My question is whether you think I can spend this $8k on a better set up. I don't mind going slightly above, but definitely not more than a few hundreds. I live in the US if that matters.

I listened to KEF and I like them, but I just want to make sure I am not missing something else that is better but costs similarly.

Thanks!

Alternative to the 5.2.4 I have in mind

 One of the reasons I purchased this receiver is because of Dirac Live room correction and the expandability to use external amplification. Best bang for your buck receiver, supports 4K 120HZ gaming as well.

After 31 days of using this receiver, the remote unfortunately stopped working. A replacement remote did not fix the issue, Pioneer has determined it is an internal board issue, they asked me to work with WaltsTV (Amazon Seller), but unfortunately they will not honor an exchange after 31 days, I have to send the receiver to Pioneer for repairs, Pioneer has provided me with a label to ship. Estimated time for repairs is around 30+ days.  I purchased this receiver exclusively for my game room / office for 2 channel music listening and for Dolby Surround and Dolby Atmos gaming

DIRAC on a Pioneer! SOLD! - 31 Day Update - Repairs Needed Already

Is this a scam?

Excellent Future-Proof Receiver.

&#x200B;. I think that the Pioneer AV box just had really bad pre-amp stage and no matter what you do, you're going to get bad sound no matter what.

Of you can wait for the Onkyo Tx rz50 to ever come in stock I'd recommend that one.
