Question: 1120 vs Elite VSX-31 - which is better? I am torn between the two receivers and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on which is the better unit? Thanks.
Document: I recently auditioned the Pioneer 1120 in my home, comparing it to two other AV receivers, the Yamaha RX-V667 and Marantz SR5005. First of all, if judging receivers by appearance alone, the Pioneer 1120 (along with all Pioneers, whether standard or Elite) would win hands down. One look at the 1120 and it's hard to deny it's a beautiful piece of kit. With its stern, glossy black facade, it looks great and strongly suggests it means serious business.
I was looking to upgrade my 2-year old Pioneer Elite receiver and checking out the specs that would have cost me $1000. Then I looked at the regular Pioneer line and found that I could get most of the same features for about 1/2 of the price with the Pioneer VSX-1120-K! Yes, I know the Elite model has slightly better specs and a better power supply--but at twice the cost??
Purchased this receiver last week from Amazon for $425.00 with 50.00 rebate I found on another website with direct link to Amazon. At almost half the cost of the equivalent Denon and Onkyo receivers and more features this is a bargain. Sound was not great out of the box but MCACC got my speakers rocking fast. Very easy setup and configuration. Big thunderous bass and definitely a difference over my Pioneer Elite VSX-52tx. Even my Polk subwoofer is happier now.
The effect is awesome. HDMI switching is pretty fast too and the Marvell video processing chip is amazing. This is the same video processing chip that pioneer uses in its elite class of receivers and is supposedly better than the Faroujda chip Onkyo uses in its TX-NR708/808 receivers. The DVD upscaling was way better than my Samsung 5900 3D blu-ray player. The sound quality is pretty awesome too. It was nice to see 'Made in Malaysia' tag for a change too.
Only difference is the Elite has a 12v trigger (that I do not need), 2 less HDMI inputs and maybe a slightly different remote, and cosmetic differences (and of course, the Elite costs more). The Pioneer VSX-1120-k is an excellent value at its current sale price at ~$500 price point (The Elite is currently ~$800 at Best Buy Magnolia).
I currently own an Elite VSX-35TX and have been very happy with it. In fact I have owned several of Pioneer's products and for that reason I kept my search narrowed to that brand. I needed a receiver that supported HDMI and so I compared the VSX-1020-K and 1120-K which are basically the same with the exception of a few features. What I really liked about the 1120 is the PC control on the 1120 which 1020 does not support.
I am not dissappointed - Pioneer still makes one of the easier AVRs to use. The 1120 also sounds way better than the old Pioneer Elite AVR, and runs much cooler.An easy recomendation if you can find it at a competitive price.
I bought the Pionner VSX-1120 about one month ago after some exhaustive research. I'm very pleased to report that this receiver performs amazingly well for the $500 I paid for it. The initial hookup was straight forward & dare I say easy. Granted I do have some basic experience with AV receivers, as my previous three were a Harmon Kardon, Onkyo, and Sony respectively. The Auto MCACC feature works great, and process is easy.
The interface itself, as mentioned before, is not that attractive but better than Denon.I cannot say much more about it. At this point I strongly recommend this unit over the Onkyo 508 and the Denon 1611.If your considering this unit over the other two mentioned.. do not hesitate and get it. Yes it costs $100 more than the Denon and $250 more than the Onkyo.
Well, not much point to this review, except for those buying it used. Pioneer has replaced their line of Pioneer and Elite AVRs, dropping the VSX-1120-K. Note that the new line stops one model short of this model in price and feature set. In fact, to duplicate the feature set on this AVR, you need to go to the Elite line, and step up one model from the entry level model in the Elite line.
Answer: The 1120's Elite equivalent is the VSX 32, not the the VSX-31.
