Yes.

You might want to look at this, it's probably similar enough. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-pioneer-vsx-lx504-avr.8862/

So maybe didnt buy well still not sure by that if the receiver has enough volts on preouts to fully get all the power out of either amp

ASR also measured the 503, it has high enough voltage to drive a typical 400 W amp to its rated output but like the 504, they didn't perform very well aside from distortions.

To see how poorly it measured, just pay a visit to ASR.

Review and Measurements of Pioneer VSX-LX303 AVR

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX303 Audio/Video Receiver (AVR). It was an impulse buy when it went on sale on Amazon a couple of weeks ago for US $369 including Prime shipping. It is currently US $399. I needed a replacement for my current Pioneer Elite...

Note that the poor results do not mean the unit would necessarily sound bad compared to those measured much better, but it may, under the right conditions.

That was more to show it can likely exceed the nominal 1V rating you mentioned. Monolith 7 is out of stock until July, too and also has 1.6V sensitivity vs the 7000X's 1.2V. Why a 7ch amp?
