Each of these Klipsch Reference R-14M bookshelf speakers features a 4" copper-spun IMG woofer and 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression LTS (linear travel suspension) tweeter, so you can easily achieve a rich, dynamic soundscape.

This is a great value for the money. Klipsch is pretty much the way to go for surround movie sound

This is indeed an improvement from its reference predecessor. I was surprised it outperforms my SW-112 unit

Very powerful and great for both music and movies
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: DimeJerry
When it comes to amplifiers it always come down to basics. The sound of this receivwr is so much better than Yamaha Adventage that I have compared it againts with. Yamaha maybe easier to use, but it lacks that magic factor especially when playing music with Pioneer SC-95. This unit is best controlled with iControlAV5 application via smartphones

Sounds powerfule and great value
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: DimeJerry
Pioneer strength is in the sounds. Great for both music and movies. I am not a fan of the GUI or remote control, and they are the weak points of this product. The auto calibration feature is pretty good and much better than the Yamaha Adventage RX-1050 YPAO.

VSX-45 packs a lot if punch for a 80+80W rms recei

This unit sounds powerfule especially the bass. The mids are warm and cuts through. I have decent wxperience with Pioneer receivers and I can say they are easy to setup. The weak point of these models are the remote control. They are best controlled through iControlAV5 application

Best buy in store gave me good price. These are solid products. When you start using home theater speakers worth $2k and above, these plugs are the way to go.

Epson 5030UB is an awesome projector. Other projectors pale in comparison with it. I can see why Epson is at the top when it comes to projectors

Lacking Atmos, why is this better than the VSX-1130-K

Can someone tell me what feature(s) are significantly better on this model to justify this model being in the Elite line, over the Pioneer VSX-1130-K with includes Dolby Atmos?
I have personally heard and tried the VSX-1130 versus VSX-45. I can honestly say that the sound VSX-45 is so much better than VSX-1130. The difference is night and day. Do not be deceived by the 80W rms of VSX-45. VSX-1130 sounded harsh and thin. Also using the auto calibration feature, VSX-1130 required my speakers to be at -2.5dB per channel or speakers. VSX-45 requires my speaker to be at -6-5.5dB per channel, meaning the VSX-45 actually has deliver more power than VSX-1130.
