| Product Description: | With 9.2 channels and the capability for 11.2 channels of processing, this AVR is packed with power and premium features for full home entertainment.
The VSX-LX505 - 9.2-Channel AV Receiver
The VSX-LX505 powers 9.2 dedicated channels with 120 watts per channel and has the processing power to up that to 11.2 channels with the addition of pre-amplifiers.
To ensure the best home entertainment experience possible, the VSX-LX505 is equipped with IMAX Enhanced Audio and Dirac Live Room Correction for a full home which adjusts sound according to the space and speakers while offering improved musical staging, dialog, and deeper bass. And you can go beyond a one room experience - the Pioneer VSX-LX505 brings cinema-quality sound and images to multiple rooms so you can have the premium experience in multiple rooms at once.
120 Watts Per Channel
With 120 Watts per channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, THD 0.08 %, 2ch Driven FTC) the VSX-LX505 can power a 9.2 channel configuration or support up to 11.2 channels with additional amplification, so you can have the full home theater setup with an extra kick of power.
IMAX Enhanced Mode
Experience powerful 4K HDR images and sound with IMAX digitally remastered content, just as the filmmaker intended. Pioneer's IMAX Enhanced Mode is meticulously optimized to play digitally remastered content to deliver the best viewing and listening experience on Earth.
Super Immersive Viewing
HDMI 2.1 supports a range of video resolutions including 8K60, 4K120 and Dynamic HDR. Combine that with 60Hz refresh rates for smooth and sharp playback, even for high-speed action.
All Encompassing Sound
With or without up firing speakers, E-ARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) simplifies connectivity and supports the latest high-bitrate audio formats including Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS:X and Dolby TrueHD. Say hello to lifelike, object-oriented sound in smooth, curving movements or realistic overhead height effects.

The previous series of pioneer models have the same amps as the new ones except for that feature and have shown to be very high quality powerful amps.
"…Protection mode is entirely different thing as it disables amplification altogether. That is not at all the topic of discussion. Power limiting as I keep saying has no indication. The amp simply gets more distorted as it gets into clipping region but keeps operating."

"I am a retired Electrical Engineer, I confirmed the time based amplifier limiting as described by Amir.
I selected stereo pure direct mode with 8 ohm loads and applied a 1Khz sinusoidal waveform at the CD inputs.. Power output was set to about 25 watts RMS and monitored with Oscope. After about 30 seconds I heard an internal relay click and observed slight clipping on both channels. After power off for a few minutes and restarting the unit, I observed a clean 115 W RMS output, and once again the click and waveform clipping..The fan never came on! Musical signal at hi level will also activate the clipping after a few minutes. Totally unacceptable! Pioneer Elite? Say What?"

Beyond the preouts and extra channel is there really anything extra this offers? 305 seems to have plenty of power for me.
