Vsx 1120 vs vsx 32 wuts the diffrence between these two!? other than the 10 watts/pc?! and is the 32 capable of having a seprete amp coneccted and able to power all 7-5 speakers?!

[nguyendot]

Uh... I'm trying to decipher what you just asked. Seriously, for the love of God read your posts before posting. That's some horrible grammar.

Secondly. Google the specs, or go to pioneerelectronics.com - they have the specs on both models you just asked about, as they are current models still.

I get a headache now reading his posts

HAHAHAHA!!! I'll translate.

" Pioneer VSX 1120 or the VSX 32? What are the differences between the two models other than the 10 watts per channel? Is the VSX 32 provide capabilities of adding an external multichannel (5/7) amp? "

Keep that up Eric and you'll be in debt to me bro.

[nguyendot]

The power output is the same, actually. There is no "10 watts per channel" difference.
Both are 110w 20-20, 8ohms.

The main difference is the 12v trigger (for amps, projection screens, etc) and the amber LCD vs the white lcd.

I'd venture to say internally these are almost identical. They're only 1oz apart in weight, too.

[messiah]

It looks like a 12 v trigger for 50 bucks. I really don't think the current elite offerings mean anything until you hit the SC line-up.

[Sherardp]

Pioneer Elite all the way. Gorgeous AVRs that perform extremely well.

OK whats up with all the negative twards my positive world? i was asking a question and apperently i aint in debt ok! im 15 as i mentioned before and no my parents dont buy my gear i work for it at wendys not the higest paying job but gott a better setup then most ppl out there that get payed twice as much yes ya'll have kids payments and what not but im trying here ok im not trying to be or act like a kid im working 80hrs and i dnt think its right for yal to blow me off wen im putting my effort into it!!

Eric, let's take a breather and relax for a second.

You posted a question (I think) and it's been answered. No one said anything bad about your setup or what you're considering to buy. It's merely your grammar and lack of proper use of punctuation as well as your spelling. It does make it a bit difficult to interpret what it is you're trying to say, so looking back and rephrasing some of your questions would help US better understand what you're trying to ask which in turn makes it easier to help YOU out.

No one's out to get you, and btw not a bad setup ;)

^^^ What Freddy said.

It's a nice setup Eric, and a hell of a setup considering the fact that you're only 15, and worked for it all. Looking at it, I really don't think much can be gained by switching out an 1120 for a 32. You 1120 has pre-outs, so you should be all set. If you're going to try and replace anything I'd look into a better amplifier. You'll notice the most from that upgrade. After that, then upgrade the speakers.
Good deals can always be found in the for sale section. Have fun!

[Ericw2431]

yes spelling is a bit of a problem to me!! still trying!....and so your saying the lsi9's would not be a good upgrade?! =[???>....and um i think ima stay with the emotiva xpa3 for a bit ima start saving up....say for a car or something because for the past year all my chekks were just gone!! =[ haha sucks to work 80hrs and only get 600! =[

[dorokusai]

It would be an obvious audible upgrade but I'd suggest finishing off your system. It looks like you haven't even figured out what surrounds or subwoofer you want, yet you're already upgrading your fronts and center. Upgrading while you're already upgrading is something you don't want to get in the habit of doing, it's counterproductive. I've seen so many audio nuts do all the wrong things and you appear to be starting out far beyond the other kids around you, keep it up man.

You have a great setup....get your surrounds and a bad ass subwoofer first.

Uhm, what about LSi9's? I'm confused

You asked about 2 receivers, nothing about speakers.

But in all honesty, if you're running an external amplifier anyway why not save that money and upgrade your interconnects/speakerwire/power cords?

Looking back at your sig, you don't even have surrounds yet so I'd look into that instead and IIRC you had asked about a subwoofer prior...

Think you should just look at finishing off your setup instead.

Edit: Too slow, Mark beat me to it :p

[Ericw2431]

would switching to lsi L/C/R be a good upgrade from rtia?! and i will get a sub soon and the surrounds im still thinking..... i havent really been watching movies latley more into music....thats why i wanna get the L/C/R first w/ a sub....but was wondering if the lsi is a nice step up?!

[dorokusai]

Well, in that case then yes. As stated before the LSi is a noticeable upgrade from the RTiA series loudspeaker.

[Ericw2431]

yes idk how it went from a question of one topic to another.....and wires?! my speaker wires are good as well as interconnects...and as for the sub im pretty sold on the hsu VTF3 mk3 i jus want to get the lsi's first! after i get my sub im done for a while the surrounds kan stay as rtia3s for a while.....??

[dorokusai]

Well, good luck to you Eric.

Eric,
FYI, one difference is as an Elite model the 32 will give you a 2 year warranty, the 1120 comes with a 1 year warranty.

Eric,
FYI, one difference is as an Elite model the 32 will give you a 2 year warranty, the 1120 comes with a 1 year warranty.

But keep in mind that you must purchase an Elite from an authorized dealer or Pioneer won't honor the warranty. That said, I bought my 32 on ebay for a great price and then purchased the 3 year Square Trade warranty which will cover any repair issues. I'm a happy camper so far though you have to devote some time to really going through the manual to optimize your setup and listening environment.

[Sherardp]

Eric I was only kidding with you buddy. GL with your audio journey. Check out the SVS subs and listen to Doro. Get the rest of your system together. If your talking LSis, you'll need an external amp bro.

How true! My 84 manual had me flipping back and forth between pages alot.

Ericw2431, do not sweat little thing, my son. I admire you for being a stand-up young man. You are working ar Wendy's for now but you will not be there when you grow-up, so do not sweat all the talk-down BS in this place. I am proud of you for working on your feet instead of relying on your parents' income. Be proud of yourself that you are not one of those entitled people.

ANW, the SC series with the ICE amp are the top of the line of the Elite. I have the SC05 and I love it more than the B &K pre/pro/amps that I had few years ago.

Do not concern to much abt the so-called WPC since to double the power ( 100 WPC to 200 WPC) it merely increases only 3 db so if you have a high efficiency speakers ( 90/92 db) any 80/100 WPC PIO AVR would do the job.

My advise to you is do not buy used gear but buying closed out model new in box so you will have 2 advantages : 1. New in box with huge discount. 2. Not expose to " buying someone problem".

Keep it up, young man. Working hard but do not forget that the sky is the limit so keep good grade in school and a degree of some college will open so many doors to you in the future. You will be amazed what life has in store for you. Good luck.
