Having had an opportunity to test Pioneer SC-LX901 vs Yamaha RX-A3070BL, I’d like to share my impression here to facilitate your choice of a new receiver.
SC-LX901 is well–equipped for the cutting-edge multi-dimensional surround sound, besides the SC–LX901 is able to deliver dynamic content to eleven channels at a time, I was overwhelmed with the opportunity and the sound quality and effect. Though I am a fan of the internet radio, the function of listening to it is on board, I enjoyed variable streaming music services and cast my much-loved music to the receiver with a mobile app, a great option as for me.
Let’s now turn to Yamaha RX-A3070BL vs Pioneer SC-LX901. It will make our receiver comparison more clear.
Yamaha RX-A3070BL is a top quality AV receiver providing a great, intense sound for movies and music sources.
Actually, both flagship models have much in common. The choice of the one versus the other in fact, comes down to personal preferences in sound signature, here I would definitely vote for Pioneer. If you want 11 channels of amplification – then go for Pioneer, in case 9 is enough but Auro3D is significant for you then choose Yamaha. Your choice may also be determined by the preference of particular network services, remote control navigation schemes or compatibility with a particular wireless multi-room audio technology. Think what is essential to you and go ahead with your long-awaited purchase!
