Well, for one, it's actually in stock, so that's always nice.

I already own the RZ50... they go in and out of stock often enough on Amazon and the Onkyo site. THey actually had a refurb on there for like $1,100 a few weeks ago, but I had already ordered one from Amazon. Either way I am happy with it, I just wonder how the two flagships compare since they are so similar.

The RZ50 is very nice. My previous receiver was part of the Onkyo RZ series and it was my favorite receiver to date.

Because of inflation the Pioneer VSX-LX505 has now seen a $200 price increase. The official Pioneer list price on the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 is now $1,699. It looks like all online dealers that have stock are now selling the A/V receiver at $1,699.

All brand-new Pioneer Elite products come with a 3-year warranty. This Pioneer Elite VSX-505 A/V receiver is $1,699 for a brand new version. On the Pioneer website they just started offering a Certified Refurbished version for only $1,199 and it comes with a 1-year warranty (this is until supplies last).

Pioneer just ran out of stock on the refurbished VSX-LX505 A/V receivers, they most likely only had one or two in stock. There still is some VSX-LX305 refurbished in stock for $999. Same warranty of 1 year for refurbished model and 3 years for brand new models.
