Is there a big difference between the pioneer elite sc-72 and sc-75 I'm big in power and just wanted to know the specs before purchasing

There are some differences between the two receivers that may or may not be important to you. Here are links to the specs. you can compare them side by side.http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/SC-75http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/SC-72

the 72 has 130 watts per 7 channel@ 8 ohms. the 75 has 135 watts per 9 channels @ 8 ohms. personally, I would never use 9 channels. either one would be a good choice.

Don't know about the second one. I like the one that I own. Never had a problem, sounds great and looks great.

I returned the Pioneer SC-72 and bought a Yamaha 2030 that I am very pleased with.

There has been some confusion regarding warranty coverage for Pioneer receivers purchased on the web. Elite models are NOT covered. Non -Elite are. Amazon is an authorized reseller (for non-Elite products) http://www.pioneerusa.com/PUSA/FindStore/Pioneer+Home+Audio+Video+Authorized+Internet+Dealers. Just purchased the 9040 - looks like a great unit at a great price. The Eliite equivalent is $200 more. Vito

I use the OM5 as the center channel in my setup. It is powered by a Pioneer Elite 60. I have OM3's filling out the rest of the 7.2 system. The sound of the Polk's powered by the Pioneer is very clear with out sounding too bright, I have 4 sub's, two ported 12inch in front and two sealed 10 inch in the rear. Because of the design of the speaker, you will need bass assistance. But bass wasn't the selling point, clarity was, and they are very clear.

Yes there is but I forgot the time period. Call Pioneer and they can tell you. Have been very nice to deal with and helped answer allot of questions for me and with the information gained helped me decide on what unit to buy. I am extremely pleased with the Elite SC-35. This is my 3rd. Pioneer Elite receiver and the other two are still working just fine and one of them is over 20 years old. The other is over 10 years old. Never a problem with either. Had an Okyno which broke down in 11 months but they fixed it and I sold it.

I'm not familiar with those specific speakers, but the SC-71 has enough wattage to power any consumer-grade speakers on the market. The sound quality you get from the receiver depends on the speakers. If your speakers are better than your earbuds, you will get better sound from your iPod. One caution with the iPod: Be sure to power down the receiver before disconnecting it from the receiver. I shorted out my SC-71 when I disconnected my iPhone without powering down the SC-71 first. The receiver was irreparably damaged. Fortunately, Pioneer Elite receivers come with a 2-year warranty. It took 6 weeks, but Pioneer replaced it with an SC-72 receiver for free.

The Elite is supposed to be 2X more powerful than the regular model. The Elite is the only one I've used so I really can't compare the two.

They're both pretty comparable as far as volume goes. But you have to realize you're talking about solid state wattage here, which is very different from Tube wattage. There's really not going to be much difference in overall volume from a 75w and 100w solid state amp. But when you say "as loud as a 75W amp should be" that doesn't quite make sense. A 75w tube amp will blow the doors off your house. You would never need to turn it past 1 or 2 and you'd never hit that sweet spot with preamp breakup. One brand's 75w solid state amp can be louder than another. It's not quite as uniform as to how the wattage is used in solid state amps. If you're looking for something loud enough to play with a band, this would be loud enough for most gigs. If you need anything louder, you'd most likely be playing somewhere that has a PA system, so they can just mic it up for you.

This amp has a 60 watts at 4 ohms RMS and the pioneer speakers maybe 100 watts at 4 ohms you want to get a 100 watts RMS amp this one will be able to drive these speakers only at 60% of their capacity

it may seem like an update to the sc-72, but the sc-72 has a little more power, that's why I choose the sc-72 . I really like it. you will be impressed

The Pioneer probably has a better pre-amp/signal processing, and also it also probably pushing higher voltage out of the RCAs. The Bravo is a good basic unit, and I am also looking for a better data-only deck.

Definitely the Sundown SA-12. This is coming from someone that owns two at the moment. You will be receiving a quality sub that will be able to handle the power that you choose to throw at it.

As far as I know it's only a visual difference. I have the E751, and it sounds the same as the other. I would have preferred the E-750 as I like the wood finish better, but not at that price difference.

I bought the elite but my grandson said I only needed the regular. However I would still purchase the elite because it has more power.

Because it is a "newer" model and the SC-71. Basically the same thing without the 12v trigger so if you don't need that then save the money and get the 1223. I did on lightning deal over the Holiday and for most part it is nice clean amp. Volume is "touchy" vs. the Onkyo I replaced with it but Onkyo was going bad after 6 years and couldn't beat the lightning deal I got on 1223.

Spec sheet says it's higher, but where did the six pounds go? It's possible the weight loss was due to the refinement of internal components other than the amp, but six pounds is a lot. I emailed Pioneer and they stated that they are using smaller, better components, but the quality is the same. I suppose we will have to wait for the audiophile reviews.

I did short comparison before I purchase it, and previously I owned SR 80When I listen to SR 125, I can tell much different from SR 80 except the bassWhen I test SR 255i, I can hear how much the sound stage changed and the bass as wellI also tested SR 325 and I think my ear just cant hear the tiny difference vs SR 225SR 225 will be the top of the line grado that you can hook up directly without amp, so take that into consideration
