So I was using an old Pioneer sx-1010 (1982 receiver duel channel) on a pair of cornwall speakers. The quality and power to beat that setup for video viewing is extremely hard to beat. I hooked up the vsx-520 to the cornwalls and a klipsch center with some klipsch bookshelf rears there is also a klipsch 10'' sub. The vsx-520 has the power to run all the speakers and it sounds absolutely great!!! Very Good power and price that cant be beat!!! I must sat though that the old sx-1010 with the cornwalls cant be beat.

Works great once you figure out how to program it. The manual does not explain that you cannot get sound to the speakers unless you find each speaker in the programming and re-set the db levels. They are defaulted at "0". If you crank each one up to about "10" you can get sound. The rest is explained in the book, but I stumbled onto the "db setting" accidently!! There are not enough inputs for all of my analog components, so I had to eliminate a couple of them. Or else, put some on a "switch box", which is a real pain. Has more programming features than I will ever use, but for the person who wants state of the art and all digital components, it is great!
Works great and looks great in the family room. The sound is pretty nice for it's power. I found the device pretty easy to use and the remote as well.
I'm not sure why the Pioneer Model VSX-520-K would be listed as "Dolby Pro Logic". Dolby Pro Logic is an analog protocol, and while the VSX-520-K can process that protocol, it is, fundamentally, a Digital receiver. So, it would be better listed as: Pioneer VSX-520-K Dolby Digital receiver". Also, in addition to DD, this receiver will process DTS sources. Finally, this receiver also processes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Audio. What this receiver won't process, however, is Dolby Atmos... At its price-point in the product lines of the various Home Theater manufacturers, the only deficiency that I find with this receiver is the absence of proper speaker terminals for all 5 of its amplified output channels. Other than that, it's a top value if you're looking for a bargain in a 5.1-capable, Digital, Home Theater Receiver. Even at its original MSRP of $299 it was a bargain. The prices on the used market make it a no-brainer.Read full review
