Pros & Cons
Denon AVR-X2500H
VSPros
- Amazing bass and sound even with the old speakers, so there is no need to replace them and spend money for the new ones.
- The receiver offers an easy-going setup due to Denon ARC Setup that is called to ensure that you can tune your sound quickly and effectively.
- The initial setup is fast and it is very precise.
Cons
- The streaming a physical source via HEOS is rather complicated.
Pioneer VSX-LX103
VSPros
- 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).
