I've been buying receivers from A4L for probably 15 years now. I always buy refurbs, the one problematic Onkyo I bought years ago had an HDMI issue and Onkyo honored the warranty and replaced the board for free. Highly recommend this seller. I'm currently using a Denon 950H I got a few years back on a pricing error for $299. Not enough reason to upgrade… yet. Maybe next year
Here's the Crutchfield breakdown on RX-V385 v. RX-V4A
https://www.crutchfield.com/S-07k...X-V4A.html

At a glance, the RX-V4A is 80 watts/channel (vs. 70 on the RX-V385), and supports Airplay 2, Alexa, and Google Assistant. Plus the HDMI 2.1/8k support you mentioned. RX-V385 has Bluetooth only, no wifi.

The RX-V385 is available from Accessories4Less for $199 now (also a refurb, but doesn't include free extended warranty):

Been this price for a month or more. Bought one a few weeks ago and so far so good. There are a few promo codes for free stuff you can use to sweeten the deal. I got a free pair of ear buds.

This was far and away the cheapest Airplay 2 compliant receiver I could find to run my outdoor speakers (didn't want to mess around with the Belkin dongle or an ancient Airport Express).

Wish I'd looked into the promo codes though, that's a good tip.

Besides the 8k/120hz support how does it compare to the v385 in terms of audio? I scored the $200 best buy deal and selling should not be hard

Yamaha's spec sheet says the RX-V4A has Dolby Vision (but no Dolby Atmos).

Thanks. Tempted to "upgrade" from my Denon X3400H. More powerful, but it can't do all of the visual features of my Samsung OLED.

I should also mention that's it's going to power 4 KEF LS50s. Might not be enough power. I dont play loud, though. Going to take a chance.

My last Yamaha refurb RX-V681 purchased from A4L thru Amazon went kaput (the dreaded blinking red power light) in the start of the 4th year. Not saying it was an A4L issue - the order was fulfilled with no issues. But lost faith in Yamaha. Seems like a prevalent issue based on what I read
