I splurged, and got the open box Aventage RX-A4A for $779. Received it yesterday, and aside from the tape on the box, it looks and performs like brand new. If I was on a tighter budget, I'd be all over this receiver for the price. Yamahas also seem to be the hardest to get for a discount these days, so these are particularly good deals.
I've been running mine for a few years-ish.
Pros: It's a good budget receiver. Atmos out of the box, reasonable room correction with YPAO (audiophiles will scoff, but at this price point, it's reasonable). I have it powering a 7.1 setup with a budget Klipsch sub and Monoprice Amber in-walls and it sounds amazing for a sub-$1200 setup (if you time the sales right).
Cons: Early models had a hardware bug that prevented 8k support, which has been addressed in manufacturing, never bothered me since 8k content doesn't really exist yet at any scale. 4K up-scaling is a weak point, I've had some banding issues depending on content. If you have another box to handled upscaling (NVidia Shield, etc.) I'd use that instead.

you also need to understand that impedance is not a static number. it varies based on frequency. so a speaker labelled as 4 ohm may go down to 2 or 3 ohms at some frequencies.
