Pros & Cons
Harman Kardon AVR 1710S
VSPros
- This unit sounds great, and I have a TV and a projector connected at the same time, and I can watch movies on any of them.
- The sound quality is excellent, you do not need premium loudspeakers to hear and feel the difference, the music is fully detailed.
Cons
- The phone application is weaker than you think, rather weak, but it is expected.
Pioneer VSX-933
VSPros
- It maintains all audio formats. You do not have to spend a lot of time to find the appropriate file.
- Built-in Chromecast and DNS Play-Fi provide streaming music and internet radio from the mobile device.
- Stable Wi-Fi for wireless connection with any smartphones and laptops, as well as PC.
Cons
- Pay attention! If you want to buy this receiver because of the multi-zone feature, keep in mind that it is only compatible with the analog inputs. HDMI won’t help you use zone 2 function.
- In Zone 2 it works only on the RCA (analog) inputs but not HDMI or digital ones. So, to install speakers on the patio for accessing to satellite audio channels it is necessary to get DAC with the optical/coax outputs of the sat AV going in. Then you need to get RCA output going into the RCA inpu
