Denon AVR-X3700H vs Pioneer VSX-LX505

This makes the Denon AVC-X3700H a powerful 9-channel Dolby Atmos, DTS, X, and IMAX-enhanced AV receiver with a perfect combination of features and per...

The Denon offers much more in the way of features, and the sound is much better when it's being used for movies. Really this is true for streaming music too. The Pioneer sounds muddy when streaming music from Spotify or Apple. The Denon sounds crystal clear

1 is at 40gig not full speed of 48. If you don’t need half baked HDMI 2.1 or Dirac, I don’t see any reason to go for 3800. Thanks for reading, and YMMV

Bluetooth not malfunctioning on any other receivers only this one. Final thought: this receiver has great functionality and sounds fantastic. But the Bluetooth issues are very annoying. Should not need to reboot everything for this to work correctly

But I want to know what matters most to you, the dual sub outputs of the Denon or do you prefer to have more next gen HDMI inputs? What feature would ...

The only negative is that Pioneer only provides three personal settings. Pioneer Remote App - this is an iOS (and Android, which I did not try) app that controls all aspects of the AVR, and in some cases eliminates the need to have your monitor on. For example, if you have a connected USB device for music playback, you can access the entire disc, rapidly, without bothering with the monitor. Use of the app requires that the AVR is connected to your local network

I bought this receiver because it has the new HDMI 2.1 which allows 4K@120Hz. I've got a LG OLED which support 2.1 on all ports

One of the reasons I purchased this receiver is because of Dirac Live room correction and the expandability to use external amplification. Best bang for your buck receiver, supports 4K 120HZ gaming as well.
