Question: Can you bi-amp your front speakers if you run a 5.1 speaker set up?
Document: My old surround 5.1 amp died and this was a great step up. I would have prefered more non-HDMI video inputs but this will work for my small home theater setup. I've been listening to all of my clasical music and am enjoying the 7.1 high front set up. It really expands the sound stage! The FM tuner pulls in stations better with just an extended wire than my old amp with a powered antenna. I couldn't be happier at the price and fast shipping.
Great amp, with 5-1 speaker outputs and HDMI switching. Good FM radio as well.
Still, however, the automatic speaker balancing set up with the included microphone was easy and straightforward. The manual itself was not great - it was obviously translated and some of the verbiage wasn't very clear to me. Nevertheless, I was able to complete it and I'm very pleased with the result. I paired it with the Energy Take Classic 5.1 surround speaker system in my primary room and used the B channel to power a soundbar system in a different room.
I bought this to replace a Kenwood HTiB which I used for 10 years. I was excited to updgrade and the 1022K seemed like it had all the features I wanted. I also upgraded to the Monoprice 5.1 speaker set, which has great reviews and is similar if not the same to the Energy Classic 5.1.Hooking up the receiver was fine, and it works fine. I'm dissapointed with the audio quality and networking features.
Bought this to replace one of the notorious Onkyo receivers with the bad HMDI cards. That old Onkyo had wonderful sound but was worthless because of the HDMI problem. Would not see devices. The Pioneer lacks the punch of the Onkyo on the low end but is arguably a bit cleaner on the high end. And the sound imaging is good (I am running a 5.1 setup.) . Auto calibration is pretty lousy. Just do it manually, set the speaker size and distance yourself.
I bought this receiver to upgrade from my old Yamaha receiver that I had since 2001, and which had no HDMI inputs/outputs. I was very happy with the power and quality of the sound in conjunction with my existing Polk Audio 5.1 speaker system. I was also very happy with the B zone feature and added two speakers in the pool area which i happily control off of my iphone using the handy Pioneer app for this purpose.
The 5.1 surround sound works well to my ear.As to value, I got this receiver together with the Polk Audio RM510 5.1 speaker system for a total of $500, which was an incredible deal (it would have normally cost $700). The Polk speakers work great with this receiver.The remote control is a bit cluttered, but it could be worse. After some time, you get used to it. The OSD (On Screen Display), however, is very ugly.
Odd. For all intents and purposes, the receiver is decoding it properly becuase I can hear sounds from all of my speakers (7.1 set up)-just can't veify that fact. Sent an email to Pioneer and see whats up. Still, I am happy with this receiver. Update: 5/8/2013-Decoding issue fixed.
No overheating. No distortion. I'd guess 6ohm speakers will make the amp run on the hot side, 4ohm speakers will overheat the amp. Read speaker's label and stick to the manual's recommendation. I often make this comparison - Yes your Honda S2000's engine can run up to 9000RPM but that doesn't mean it'll last for 100000 miles if you constantly asking it to rev at 9000RPM.
I like the receiver a lot so far. Power is good, seem better than 80w per channel. I have Andrew Jones Pioneer speakers in the mail now and I can't wait to pair them up and see the results. It pushes good clear sound through my current (infinity sterling front/center) speakers.The only thing I didn't like was parts of the initial setup. It runs in demo mode until you run an automatic microphone room mapping.
Answer: Yes, the VSX-1022 is absolutely capable of running a bi-amp set up of the front speakers!
