What are the diferences between this receiver and the Pioneer SC-1323-K?, the specs look about the same.

I have not looked at the spec but, the SC-72 is an Elite receiver and SC-1323-K isn't. Pioneer provides one extra year of warranty for Elite products.

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

Yes. This is a great receiver but be advised this model was in the 450$ range when I purchased it. I believe this one is discontinued so a current compatible model might be cheaper.

I would suggest a receiver that is close to a 1000 wt range. These speakers are great in a 5.1 or 7.1 system. Pioneer receivers are more expensivebut they are better in my opinion.

I am looking to buy this receiver and wanted to know the same thing. Did you ever get an answer?

i set up the "before" receiver, which was just an older onkyo 2-channel stereo receiver, and the new receiver (820). the 820 sounds good, but it doesn't sound as full, nor as deep, as the onkyo. i think it must just have internal settings that don't allow it to send those deepest bass tones to the front speakers, because i tweaked every possible thing. i appreciate the help though...and i've definitely had the wires crossed before as well -- makes a huge difference

Help to choose between Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver and Pioneer VSX-1020-K. They both have their pros and cons, and prices are the same.

I would go with a pioneer. I was not impressed by the sound. Plus the max volume was not enough for my system. It has some cool features but I wouldn't reccomend. I give it 3/5 stars

I use pioneer SC1323 at 160watts per channel, you should look for something with a bi-amp. You can also use another amplifier with the pre-out inputs on the receiver. I would recommend pioneer. All receivers push between 100 to the 160 watts I use. These speakers can handle 400peak RMS. This doesn't mean they are using the peak RMS rating all the time. So you want to match these with the max RMS rating for 8ohm speakers. You want to Amazon can also walk you through setup when you get your receiver from their fulfillment center. They offer free support. But you should talk to someone who does home audio equipment setup for the rest. I use pioneer SC1323 at 160watts per channel, you should look for something with a bi-amp.

the only difference between the systems is the color of the receiver. the reason why the 2300 has a higher retail price is because it came out a year earlier

I have an old Pioneer receiver model SX-626 and they work awesome with it. I dont know about yours but they should work well with any receiver.

The reason they use the term old version, is that they came out with the updated version of the 818 in 2013; the 828. The 828 has a few new features that the 818 doesn't have, but they also cut a few of the features that the 818 has that they didn't include with the 828, Go to the onkyo website to compare the specs, but for me I couldn't justify the price disparity when it came between both units, so I went with the 818, and I haven't been dissapointed! For $699 I don't think I could find a better receiver. I looked at Marantz, Denon, and Harman Kardon to compare, and for the price I thought the Onkyo was a better constructed, sturdier product at a lesser price.

Good question. I'm unsure, try calling pioneer to better answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

I too am considering these two recievers and i have for quite a while. Im leaning towards the Pioneer for the simple fact it comes with the ipod cable. Although i think the onkyo has a 2 yr warranty and pioneer doesnt.

Thank you, I too am wonderng at the difference between the two. I've got an older Denon receiver(3803) and would rather not have to replace it. This model seems to fit the bill for me.

I don't know. I just checked the owners manual and it does not say. You should go on Pioneer's Home Site and check. The unit works great.
