i am in the industry from sales to installs.the 74 has a 9 band eq that will adjust room corrections and even make lessor speaker sound outstanding.they will add punch to the highs mids or lows .will do phase(not to be confused with polarity) corrections and eliminate standing waves.the 74 will calibrate what the ear cant hear.the input instructions in the manual are vague.if you have little experience on set up, your comman sense will not help you.email me if you have issues setting up the hdmi switching.
Pioneer vsx56txi or vsx74txvi.Which sound better?
I have the 56txi,and looking to upgrade to the 74txvi,for the hdmi and other connections.But I am worried that it make not sound as good,as the 56txi since it is 10lbs lighter,and rated at 140 watts.Sound is more important than anything else.Has anyone compared the two.I have the M&K 75011 speakers .Thanks .
