In Reply to: pioneer elite tsx 47 vs tsx 49 posted by carlton on February 3, 2003 at 17:23:03:
I am a fan of Pioneer Elite gear, but I recommend you try the receiver in-home before you commit if you're used to separates. Overall, I find the Elite receivers to be a bit warm sounding, with limited dynamic punch, smooth highs, and only mediocre soundstaging. Imaging is fairly good for an A/V receiver. Stereo performance is OK, among the best I've heard from an A/V receiver, but it may dissappoint if you're used to Parasound gear. Bass, in particular, can be muddy and ill-defined in comparison to separates. The feature set of these receivers is fantastic, as is ergonomics and flexibility. Once set up (a painless procedure), the Elites are very easy to use, IMO.The amp section in both the 47 and 49 are identical. The remote on the 49 is a touch-pad type vs. the 47's more conventional learning/preprogrammed remote.
The 49 offers the option of bass management (in digital domain) for the 5.1 channel inputs. The 47 omits this feature. The 49 will do video format conversion, I think the 47 will not. I may be wrong on this last one, but I think the 49 will upconvert stereo digital sources.
If you add the cost of boxes to add these features (Outlaw's ICBM, a video format converter and a touch-pad remote), you're right there in the $600 range.
