I even bought the higher end tuning mic for Dirac and the special mic stand. I got deep into all of the tuning curves, laptop software, and all that jazz well before actually getting the receiver. For months I combed AV forums to get tips and expert advice.
In the end, in spite of days of tuning and tweaks, I returned the Pioneer. The Pioneer's sound was just flat compared to my older Denon. The 3 dimensions of sound were just 2D and too crisp. I thought for sure I got a defective Pioneer and after returning it, continued searching obsessively for any one of these three extremely similar models.
I was on the Crutchfield waitlist for a few months and finally got the Onkyo. I hooked it up. Did all the initial, standard calibration but got the exact same result. I did the curves and tweaked and tweaked. Things changed but never got close to my older Denon. Just flat sound that made me sad. I ended up returning the Onkyo too. It killed my soul.
So now I have the Denon x4700. It sounds amazing like my x4100 but a little better. The new Denon has some features my old Denon did not and that were critical at my house - having volume control on-screen and being able to turn everything on and off with a simple remote.
I'm not arguing with all the people who love these receivers. On paper they look awesome. My experience was less than awesome, but what pleases people's ears is ultimately a very personal experience and wanted to share mine.
That being said. This Pioneer is still a quality receiver and at this price definitely a slick deal. But I'll warn you not to invest as much time as I did trying to tweak it if you aren't impressed after your first calibration. Tweaking helped but in my case did not work out.

Edit: what's a good amp to pair with this to achieve the 7.2.4?
Keep in mind the Pioneers(305/505) have global crossovers & their preouts are not all assignable.
Here is a comparsion of the two to see all the differences.

Last I dealt with them, solid. At least with headphones… it was free return S&H.

Thank you for the input. I was aware of the global crossovers, but I'm not sure if that's necessarily a deal breaker for me. I don't know if I'd dive in that deep yet and mess with it. Probably have em all set to 80hz and leave it anyway.
The extra 20 watts and processing is a little more interesting. Though, at this time I'd probably top out at a 5.x.4 as the room doesn't have a good layout for rear channels to run 7.x.4. Realistically, the NR7100/LX305 are probably adequate enough then and the extra $100 isn't worth it? I wish the LX305 or NR7100 would drop to $450, I'd grab either in a heartbeat
Here what it says:
"For the first 30 days after your purchase you may return merchandise for a full money back refund, excluding any shipping charges".

Of course they close early on Fridays. Time to order the 505 and start the return on Monday.
