    How many subwoofers are you using in your main system or home theater?

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    What is the watts per channel all channels driven? The 505 boasts 120 watts 2 channels driven. I am driving all 9 channels and the wattage/channel is likely much less than 120. I am wonder if I'd benefit using a multi channel power amp, at least for the front soundstage LCR?

    Your opinion - anyone else using Direct Pure? I picked up my 505 about 4 weeks ago. I have struggled with the tone on this AVR. Today I recalibrated the room, 1st using MCACC - mistake. MCACC decided that my speakers where of various sizes and I noticed not much was coming from my center...
