Pros & Cons

Pioneer VSX-LX103

VS

Pros

    • The TV remote automatically turns the amp on/off and the TV's remote volume control runs the amp's volume up/down.
    • Works with Google Assistant so you can tell the VSX-LX103 to turn up the volume, skip tracks, or stop the music using a device with the Google Assistant built-in, like Google Home.

Cons

    • Bulky in size.
    • Some customers claim that this model is unreliable (it may stop working after a year of using).
