Personally the pioneer would be the one I'd go after since there's preouts for the fr/fl speaker if I ever wanted to add a 2-ch amp down the road.

Hypertext cache protocol ?

Maybe I don't understand... Explain

[redlikefire02]

ok i narrowed it down....

so the pioneer vsx 44 "elite" is on sale at best buy for 299
the pioneer vsx 1124 is on sale for 350


which is better now or am i just being overly picky?

[callas01]

1124

[schan1269]

Elite has a 2yr warranty. Pioneer has 1.

I'd choose the one with the features I'd use...that doesn't have stuff I wouldn't use anyway.

any reason why vs the 44? im really trying to see a difference

[callas01]

Preouts and subwoofer eq that the 44 doesn't have available. And it's slightly more powerful. Otherwise they're about the same.

[schan1269]

I just looked up the 44 and 1124 at the Pioneer website.

I don't understand how you can't see any difference between them. Unless, you just havent looked.

On top of those...

MCH SACD, instead of 2 channel. (1124 also supports web/flash drive DSD, which the 44 only offers its 2 channel over HDMI)

Dolby loudness, that also works on TrueHD.

2nd zone hdmi(doesn't say, but probably allows USB/network/coax/optical into 2nd zone as well, instead of just analog like the 44)

6 MCACC presets, instead of 1.

Automatic crossover selection.

HDMI upconversion.

Qdeo scaling.

MCH sound retriever, instead of 2 channel.

800ms of lip sync, vs 500ms of lip sync.

Sabre audio DAC.

Width, in addition to IIz.

But you're right, can't tell any differences...
