please stop flooding this thread with unhelpful messages - thanks!
I would say don't buy the Dirac Live, but do use a little money to design your space. Sound deadening paitings, heavy curtains versus window blinds, throw rug versus tile floor, that kind of thing. Sound correction was made as many people were unable or didn't have time to properly correct their settings to make the adjustments needed after they correct their space. The problem, in my opinion, is that people want to buy something like this and just throw it in any space and it will sound amazing. Not true. It will sound the best it can for that space, even if it means turning down your front speakers dramatically for the best non-reflective sound. So it might just be that you need to check out your space and see what might be reflecting or causing issues. Almost and hard surface or if the rear port is too close to a wall, etc. Check out online forums like AVS for guides/help. Your current setup might open up a lot once you examine and change your space. I hope this helps and is all just one person's opinion.

Currently have a Denon s730h, before that was an Onkyo TX-NR636
Two questions:
Is the extended warranty promotion still running?
Will this work with the new 144 Hz LG G4 and C4 OLED TVs or is it just 120 Hz 4K?
Thanks for sharing the price. For many it's easily worth the extra $500 over the A6A since you won't need to buy a separate stereo amp for the front channels in a full 11.4 surround system

The Aventage A8A weighs 47 lbs with a hearvy toroidal transformer, it'll put out clean power normal sized 11.4 surround systems
Proper display
Improved YPAO and streaming app
4k @ 144 Hz
They are struggling to move the flaship, compared to the latest Pioneer Elite VSX-LX805 this is ugly and needs more pysical dials. This is not a Tesla touchscreen rather an AV amp which needs proper tactile feel and switches/levers for adults (and naughty children) to play with

Might as well just call Adorama or somone like Gramophone and ask for their home theater specialist. They'd need to know the max wattage and ohms for the speakers to answer your question.
I plan on powering Kef R7 fronts, Kef R6 Meta center, Kef R8 (front Atmos), Kef Q350 rears, Kef Q50a (rear Atmos) and expect zero power issues though that's just a 5.4
