Reference: 20yrs SMPS and amplifier design. put plenty of money in my mouth doing it too LOL.
also here is a short discussion on modern receiver power supplies and transformers that can bring you up to date: https://www.avsforum.co
finally, I didn't say what you are asking proof of. I didn't say any particular amp produced any particular power. I just said your perception of size and weight for a high powered amp were based upon 1980s assumptions and best practices. It isn't how amplifiers are designed today.
Have a good one.

Getting the HDMI spec to allow VRR as well as a full set of pre-outs was what drew me to this. Remote is lame (and not backlit), but otherwise, a great unit.

Also does anyone know if the sub outs can be calibrated individually or if it is just an internal y split terminal?
I have Denon s760h that I want to upgrade for Dirac and more channels. I integrated Denon into homeassistant but not sure if I can do the same with this? Does anyone know? It seems it uses Onkyo integration but wondering if it has bad quirks.
Thanks.

I'm almost tempted to buy the pioneer and just use the MCACC but the global crossover on the pioneer is what concerns me though. All my speakers are capable of doing an 80hz crossover except my Atmos enabled speakers that start at 150hz. If I set the global crossover at 80 or 100 or 120hz even will this hurt the Atmos speakers or damage the AVRs amp?

Depending on how serious the sound, the passive filters on your speakers may be good enough sound wise. I wouldn't worry about damaging your speakers though.

Speakers have passive filters built in so your speaker will be fine. The advantage of being able to set active filters on the receivers is that the receiver does not have to work as hard producing frequencies you don't want certain speakers to reproduce anyway.

I've never heard the Denon but does it come with dirac? In my case dirac doesn't matter. I like to try out something over $500 in my listening area but that's not always possible as return shipping may be high and return policies may differ. I literally bought the lx505 and the rz50 from Amazon thinking "free returns" while including time to try and work the AVRs. I got email complaints from Amazon threatening to cancel my membership. Best Buy is an option but a 2 week return policy while learning the in's and out's of working a particular AVR might be rushing things.

The receiver will be fine sending 80Hz+ to your speakers.
In any case, just keep the receiver well ventilated.

The 10th & 11th Channel will not be amplified by this receiver & only the pre-outs. You can use the old AVReceiver CD 2 channels as input - temporarily until you buy a power amplifier or not.

Have you used it to drive speakers in three zones? Looking for some feedback as that'd be my primary use for it.
