The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 vs Pioneer SC-LX801 comparison demonstrates the great difference between their total output power rates. The first model has 1150W, and the second – 810W. The operational power consumption ratio also varies: the Pioneer has 320W, and the Onkyo has almost 2 times more – 620W.
After successful sound calibration, the Pioneer demonstrates a low rumbling bass, fantastic mids with dedicated drivers, and very clean highs. The Onkyo is supplemented by less deep bass and the rock/house music sounds superficial, but at the same time, it greatly plays the vocal/jazz music, while the SC-LX801 doesn’t demonstrate all the sound transitions between musical instruments.
The TX-RZ1100 surprises me with a dual-zone capability. With its help, I can watch a movie in the first room and route separate audio stream to the second room. The SC-LX801 doesn’t have such a feature.
Both receivers can be used as part of a proprietary HEOS wireless system with control through the application or using linear analog outputs. The Onkyo versus Pioneer collation shows that the manufacturer of the last one takes care about users and equipped its product with 4 AV inputs, while the TX-RZ1100 has only 2. The on-screen setting guide in both devices is great, but the Pioneer can periodically hinder and freeze.
Let’s compare the device’s displays, the Onkyo’s screen is bigger and it’s more pleasant to read the green color inscriptions, rather than orange. The TX-RZ1100 can propose a volume controller, the On/Standby button, listening mode, and tone knobs on the front side. The SC-LX801 has a more laconic set of visual controllers: volume controller, On/Standby button, and input selector.
The Pioneer SC-LX801 vs Onkyo TX-RZ1100 remotes comparison shows that the last one device has bigger and more comfortable to keep in hand controller with bright knobs and without the smell of rubber.
