Pioneer VSA-LX805 – 11.4 Channel 8K AV Receiver

The Ultimate AV Receiver for Serious Sound Lovers

The Pioneer LX805 is built for people who demand uncompromising home cinema performance and audiophile-quality music reproduction. With 11 channels of Class AB amplification, dual high-end ESS DACs, full-bandwidth Dirac Live, and HDMI 2.1 across all key inputs, this is a future-proof powerhouse ready for any premium system.

What You’ll Hear

This is a receiver that commands attention — the kind of flagship that makes you rethink what an AVR can do.

A Bigger, Deeper, More Cinematic Soundstage

The LX805 fills the room with a seamless 3D dome of sound. Explosions don’t just “hit”… they roll. Raindrops fall from the ceiling. Voices anchor perfectly to the screen without sounding forced. This is reference-level Atmos.

Effortless Power and Control

11 channels of Class AB amplification deliver clean transient impact, wide dynamic swings, and headroom for the loudest action without strain. It’s confident, unflappable, and utterly controlled.

Bass That’s Deep, Tight, and Premium

Four independent subwoofer outputs and Dirac Live Premium ensure bass is smooth, punchy, and room-filling without boom or muddiness. Every low-end note is perfectly timed and integrated into the soundtrack.

Holographic Stereo Imaging

Dual ESS DACs and high-current analog stages deliver a stereo soundstage that’s wide, open, and layered. Vocals float, instruments breathe, and micro-detail is clear — this is stereo that rivals dedicated hi-fi amps.

High-Resolution Music With Real Emotion

Whether streaming TIDAL, playing hi-res files, or vinyl through the MM phono input, the LX805 delivers sound that’s detailed yet musical. Smooth where it should be smooth, fast where needed, warm where music demands it — a rare combination in an AVR.

Consistent Excellence Across All 11 Channels

No loss of clarity or dynamic impact in surround or height channels. Helicopters overhead remain precise. Whispers at the rear stay crisp. Movies feel cohesive, immersive, and real.

Quieter, Blacker Background

With isolated digital/analog stages, a copper-plated chassis, and premium power supply, the LX805 runs silent — giving you a “black background” that allows every note and effect to shine.

Energy, Realism, and Impact Across Every Source

Movies, gaming, vinyl, TIDAL, and sports all gain realism, refinement, and punch. The LX805 doesn’t just play sound; it elevates it.

Why We Love It

The LX805 is one box that replaces three: a high-end two-channel amp, an Atmos cinema engine, and a future-proof HDMI hub. Perfect for customers who want quality without extra amps or processors. It performs beautifully in our listening rooms at TAE, especially paired with KEF, Polk Legend, and Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers.
