Any special settings in the pioneer?Monster 3250 manual It has both RCA (unbalanced) and XLR (balanced) inputs.
The pioneer sc-lx704 only has RCA pre-outs, so you'd use RCA cables. I'm using 3 of these: Hosa HRR-005. There are more expensive ones but stll snakeoil free ones (Bluejeans, for example) and cheaper ones (Monoprice). I suggest using ones based on coaxial cable, as they have good shielding.

I'm unfamiliar with the LX704.The SC-LX704 has a preamp mode that lets you turn off the amplifiers that power the speaker terminals if using an external amp.
Besides saving power, this also allows a cleaner signal to the amp if/when you turn the volume up high.

Are those settings per amp, or only for all amps like the Denon AVR-X3700H?
There can be clear differences with the quality of the connectors. Claims about the sound quality from the actual wire should be regarded with skepticism.(snip)
Also expierement with cables as.... THERE CAN BE A DIFFERENCE. Its not always snake oil. Some cables are made better than others.

If you can afford cables that are $100US or more per foot (30cm), and are the sort of person that can hear a difference from such expenses, go for it, regardless of how bizarre the claims for such products often are.

Seems unlikely. I don't even own any BlueJeans gear. (I'm too cheap.)Does the amp have a 12V trigger TC? Or you'll need a smart surge protector or you'll need to turn the amp on and off all the time.
