The gold standard in premium audio
Our audio prowess stems from premium componentry and studio-level processing, but our objective has always been to deliver world-class home entertainment solutions to discerning home theater enthusiasts. We’ve spared no expense in bringing the Elite VSX-LX805 to market, enhancing past successes and leveling-up features for the modern age.
150 Watts, 11 channels
The VSX-LX805 is engineered to support 11 channels amplified in a 7.2.4 configuration at 150 Watts per channel (8 ohms). Simply put, that’s a lot of power.
Powering up to three distinct zones
With this much power, you can enjoy home audio or theater in three distinct zones simultaneously without worrying about zone switching. So sit back and relax with some jazz while the kids watch a movie in the theater room and the grandkids are gaming in the family room.
Expertly engineered for the discerning customer
The Elite VSX-LX805 has been through rigorous testing and expertly fine-tuned by our engineers in Osaka, Japan to reproduce sound exactly as the mixing artist intended.
Precision connectivity
Transport yourself into the concert hall with precise audio reproduction through hardline cable (HDMI, RCA, Phono, and more) or one of the many streaming and smart home assistant platforms that come standard with this model.
Stream however you like
The VSX-LX805 comes with built-in access to several streaming and smart home assistant platforms. Use Apple AirPlay, Google Home, Alexa, TIDAL, Pandora, Roon, Spotify, Amazon, Deezer, Chromecast or Sonos to control and play whatever music you have. With this much access, you'll never run out of music.
Take the room out of the equation
Odd room shape? No problem. An included Dirac Live® premium license comes standard to help account for sound bouncing around any room, and an optional Bass Control upgrade is available for those who can’t get enough precision bass.
