VenkatY said what they did, and I asked them what type of receiver the paired with it.
I'm aware of why, and I'm aware I likely won't ever need it. I'm curious to hear from the VenkatY. Thanks.
Their QA has been iffy in a few products such as subwoofers, etc. I am not familiar too much with their dedicated amps. Another online only company which is very old now, is Emotiva. Ofcourse, there are traditional high end separates from Bryston, NAD, Adcom, McIntosh.
Regarding why it's needed, it really depends on the application and the receiver. Some people like clean power at both higher and lower levels, especially if your speakers are power hungry. Not all avrs are made in same way. Don't go by published wattage. Most of the amps when all 7 channels driven produce lot less power. Harman Kardon used to publish real numbers when all channels driven. Denon used to fudge a lot. People bought expensive speakers and then found out how much they are missing out and switched to separates.

It works with both line level and XLR connections so you wouldn't need an XLR adapter.
All you are doing is replacing using the internal amp(power) on a receiver with this external amp(power) for each channel.
There are way to many factors as some have pointed out on whether to get something like this.
When setting up a system and looking to improve the sound you hear, IMO this should be toward the end of the list to add, especially when you consider the price.
Hope that helps.
