Topic: Pioneer Receivers

[nels76]

Welcome me to the Club.

I now owned a Pioneer VSX LX 51.

This is an old model. Got it 50% off sa Sight and Sound Shang.

Sabi orig price is 70 then binigay sa akin ng 34k 12 mos.

So far, satisfied na satisfied ako.
This Receiver has generous power reserve.

Malayong malayo sa former receiver ko na Kenwood KRF X906D which I got 2003 pa.
So lagpas 10yrs din yong former receiver ko bago  bumigay (nag shu shutdown agad pagka-On mo pa lang) Baka may kailangan lang linisan sa loob though di ko pa sya ginagalaw.

Congrats! Welcome!

Tanong ko lang mga sir, since pareho ung power output per channel nang 522 and 1022,
pareho lng ba ung magiging tunog ng speaker kahit anu ung gamitin ko sa dalawa?
Wharfedale 10.2 po ung speaker.
Thanks.

[Nelson de Leon]

May difference din sila sa calibration. It could be possible na mag-iba slightly ang tunog. I dunno lang If it would be audible enough.

Thanks Sir Nelson.

[Nelson de Leon]

I mean the difference in calibration is because the higher model has more powerful EQ. Pero almost isa lang ang target curve/response nila.

[markcrenz]

aside from the eq, the 1022 has a beefier power supply so in stereo mode it will potentially sound better than the 522.

Noob question mga Sir.
Got myself vsx 522, ask ko lng kung bare wire connection lng b pwede pra s fronts?
Para kasing walang butas ung connection para sa banana plug di tulad nung sa speakers.
Thanks.

522 fronts can be connected with banana plugs, you have to take off its caps...

Tried playing 2.8KHz DSD audio through my Pioneer LX86's front USB and it played smoothly... But the 5KHz didn't...

good day mga sirs/madams!

I have a vsx 521k amp. Had it for about 7months na, almost every month dinadala ko un sa service center kasi nag completely shut off nalang bigla. pag chineck ko ung error counter, lahat nasa DC errors. Not sure kung ano nag cacause nito, marami din po ba naka encounter nito sa model na to? Speakers ko is ung klipsch hd 500, may compatibility issues kaya to sa amp? Not a techie person kaya hindi ko maintindihan ung mga computation sa watts, ohms, voltage, etc. Anyone care to enlighten me? Thank you!

[markcrenz]

kung sa speakers ang problem OVERLOAD ang magiging error. DC error means defective devices inside, dapat isang punta lang sa service center yan kung matino ang gumagawa. possible din may short sa speaker wires kaya lagi nasisira ang output devices.

if you want to learn more about watts, ohms, voltage, etc. maraming tutorials sa net.

[Nelson de Leon]

Klipsch are known for their very efficient designs. Plus satellite speakers lang ata ang HD500. Tama si Don King Markcrenz, baka you wires are the culprit. Or it could be, baka may problem din ang speakers mo.

sa may buendia ko pinapaayos ung sakin (lazer active ent.) ang ginagawa lang nung nagaayos ehh nirereset ung nasa likod, i think parang manual overriding ung ginagawa para mag power up ulit. pano ko po malalaman kung may short sa speaker wires ko? Thanks sa reply sir!

I have the same kenwood receiver, the 9060D. Recently bumigay na din, i bought this in 2002. I took it to the service center in roosevelt. They told me its the board. Wala na parts. Sayang, they said kasi before the boards are attached horizontally, so yun dumi umiipon will destroy/corrode the board. The recent receivers daw puro vertical na daw.

Anyway im looking for a entry level lang, kasi for my living room. I cant turn the volume way uP anyway. Im looking at the pioneer 522. Sa listening group i think its down to 9990 pesos. Tempted to buy na tod, hirap wala na receiver. What you guys think? My speakers are just polk audio satellites. Sa future i may upgrade to some entry level speakers hehe. Maybe entry level of polk or tannoy. Ty

It's feature packed for it's price and gets the job done.

Thanks sir Nelson, What entry level speakers do you suggest? Yun cheap lang kasi for my living room only. I was in listen up yesterday, they offered me a wharfedale 9hcp 5.1 na around 15,100 ata. They are pretty good size na pero parang satellites din ba ito? I'm coming from polk audio satellites kasi, so if I get these parang no upgrade?

I don't want to spend too much pero parang an Cheap entry level 5.1 (polks, tannoy etc) will reach around 35 thou to 40 thou?

[Nelson de Leon]

Next upgrade from satellites would be bookshelf speakers.
Cheapest I can think of is those Dayton BS speakers. But I think walang center. Let's wait for a good deal sa MP.
Ok din ang floorstander but for entry - midlevel pio receivers, tapos naka-set naman sa SMALL ang speakers, BS ka na lang. Yun can also check out the Polk M series.

Thanks sir, i just got the wharfs dcp 5.1 na. Cheap and good enough for my living room. Imagine my wife got mad pa on the size of these speakers, too big daw.  It looks ugly sa living room daw, puro gamit ko na daw hehehe. Paano pa if i buy those really good bookshelf speakers? hehehe.

My wife asked me kung seller daw ba ako ng speakers kasi madami daw. Haha!

Hehe, one thing kasi mga women, they like clean, yun sobrang maayos and konting kalat lang, no clutter. Galit na galit wife ko kasi daw our bedroom naging cinema na hehe. Puro cabinet for blurays, mga gears and wall frames of movies hehe. I bought a classic sean connery james bond poster in canada and negotiating to frame and hang it. Galit na galit siya hehe. I might have to wait until i have a home cinema room na.

That's a sign na you need a dedicated room na. And this is also a sign na O.T. na din tayo.

vs my old HTiB Onkyo

[nmeuvdast8]

Hello mga gurus. Im looking for an entry (or even mid range AVR, if budget permits), and currently considering the VSX522. But i need to clarify some things regarding this AVR before pulling the trigger. I'm working on a tight budget so I might get the speakers individually whenever I have the the cash to burn...

1. If Say I'll only get the AVR first, is it ok to use this AVR on a stereo or 2.0 config just for the time being while I do not have the cash to spend on FS speakers? If it is, I'll be using a MS Carnival 1 (my existing BS that I use with a T-Amp), is this ok?

2. I'm thinking of getting the Polk M20 for my front, Sw110 for the sub, and OM3 for the surround. Do these speakers match this AVR? If they do, what center speaker could you recommend? If they don't, then what model would you suggest?

3. Since I might get the AVR alone or with the M20 (depending on my my cash on hand when i decide to pull the trigger), do you recommend that I get a higher model AVR first then the M20 later or the VSX522 + the M20?

4. If I opted to get just the AVR, what model can you recommend? Say 15-18k budget?

Thanks in advance!

bro why not get the 1021?
kahit 2nd hand sa mp

Oo nga. Mga 2012 models ng vsx, parang of lower klase kesa sa 2009, 2010 & 2011 models of the same level.
Malapit nang mapunta sa MP ang 1020 ko. Nakaka-tukso ang LX ni Louie. Pinag-aaralan ko pa kung may kukuha ng svs eq nya.

[ninjababez®]

Bro konsi madali na dispose yun svs nya sunggaban mo na pio nya
