I have the sc05 which is a virtual twin to the 07 and I love it. I looked high and wide and demo'd a lot of receievers before deciding to buy the new Pioneer. Like everything else in this hobby - it's all about component matching. Like others here, I'm thinking it just doesn't match up well with your speakers.
Pioneer sc 07 owners? , just got one .Disapointed
Hello , my name is peter and i am new to this forum.
I just got the pioneer sc 07 1 week ago .
i am going to be honest .
Maybe i did not setup the amp right but i am a bit disapointed with its audio performance .
First , my home theater :
Mains :Energy rc 30 towers .
Center:b&w lcr62
Surround : Energy c 100
Subwoofer : energy esw 10 .
My last surround amp was Marantz sr 7500.
I upgraded for the new codecs and also because i got the pio for $800 new.
I feel that the sound from the amp during movies is to bright , to agressive ,some times i feel that it hearts my ears .
Also the chanel separation is not the best .
In 2 ch pure direct the music is some how "dry" , the bass is not well difined .
The center chanel after macc was set at -3db but was outragesly bright and agresive .
I feel that the amp is not warm at all .
The reson i am posting this thread is because i am wondering if maybe i did not set it well and i would like some advise from someone that maybe went thru the same thing.
Maybe i have to turn some options off or ...............
Please advise as i am at least disaponted with my new purchase .
Some people told me that this my be because this is the first time pioneer uses class d amps and they did not know how to use them very well.
Please do not get mad because my "review" as i am sure there are a lot of owners more then happy with there sc 07 unit.
Thanks for the help.
