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.

I would probably go with Emotiva A2 this time, if I go down the path of amp.
A friend of mine paired Outlaw 5000 with his Denon X3700 and that Outlaw was a beast weighing 50 lbs
The FTC only regulates stereo power output rating. Older receivers are rated at 120 WPC continuous x 2 or 80 WPC continuous x 3. This will draw about 500 W from the wall. Add another 35 W to the wall draw for each additional surround channel. Therefore, a 600 W UL listed receiver will be able to deliver 80 W x 3 and 30 W x 2 simultaneously into 8 ohm or 4 ohm. I believe this receiver has a UL label of 600 W.
The label of 150 W x 11 is a marketing scam. Even with 100% power conversion efficiency, the receiver would need to pull 1650 W from the wall. A conventional home AC outlet is good for 1200 W.
Dear Yamaha,
All other features being basically equal, a 4"-6" full color display with user adjustable content would definitely push me towards purchasing your product vs the competition 👌🏼

Compact, lower power D amps are perfectly fine for surround channels.
I think ppl are overly concerned with "all channels driven" specs and manufacturers are sensitive to that, thus you get the artificial all channels driven specs.
Contrary to common belief, a main difference would be their sound, they do not sound the same.
Yamaha will be more upfront/dynamic than Marantz. Whether you'll prefer that you would have to listen for yourself.
For me never cared for YPAO, always had issues with the sub signal coming out low also.
I definitely prefer XT32 but unfortunately the 7010 doesn't have access to Editor app or MultiEQ-X.
If you prefer Marantz and looking for a replacement.
If you are open to factory refurb from an authorized seller, AC4L has the Cinema 50 for $1349.

"Yamaha will be more upfront/dynamic than Marantz. "
Shows us the proof. Show us a double blind test proving they sound different with all settings to flat.
All equally powered solid state amps that have similar distortion levels, are flat in the audible hearing range, and don't choke when feeding a low impedance load will sound the same.
I can't wait til all these audiofool myths die!
Hey folks…don't forget to let your AVR "break in" for a few hours before listening! 🤡

Get a receiver that comes with the features that you need TODAY. Don't overpay to future proof. The amp section should be adequate for most if the UL back label is +500 W or VA.

Anyway I know we are in the Yamaha forum. But reason I said this is because if 899 for 3800 isn't worth that much to me, A8A wouldn't either. To each his/her own. For some other people, A8A at this price may make a lot more sense

Using subwoofers can cut down your wastage requirement in half. Bass frequencies require much much more power vs mids and highs.
At that price, I rather go all-tube instead...

Tubes are preferred by ppl that like high audible distortion versus signal in = signal out.
