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.

No, hypocritical is when someone continues to ask for "proof" yet never providing ANY "proof" of their own! ðŸ¤
Wait? So if we search all these threads over the years, we are going to find people instigating a conversation with YOU about what you think? Not YOU foisting your opinions on them? I highly doubt that.
Or is it you're FORCED to violate your own beliefs to satisfy them?! 😆
Just tell them sound is subjective. They won't hear what you hear, and don't concern themselves with what others think they hear. Done.
You said the Yamaha was more upfront and dynamic than Marantz. I said prove it. You can't. End of story.
There is forum that uses science to list AVRs from "better" to worse that many people swear by.
People use those science benchmarks all the time to determine which COMPARABLE AVR is "better"!
That sure seems like "evidence" that shows they aren't the same.
If you disagree where is your "PROOF" that they are?
I must have missed your explanation how "blind tests" falls under science, how is that the case again? 🤔
WOW!!!!! I think you're confusing SCIENCE with MATH.
"While mathematics provides the language and tools for expressing and analyzing scientific concepts, science relies on empirical evidence and experimentation to form and test hypotheses about the natural world."
"Blind testing is a SCIENTIFIC experiment in which the participants involved are 'blind' (unaware) to those details or facts that might influence them consciously or subconsciously to make biased decisions."
"Blinding is an important tool of the SCIENTIFIC method, and is used in many fields of research."
"The blind method is an important part of the SCIENTIFIC method, used to prevent research outcomes from being influenced by either the placebo effect or the observer bias. Blinded research is an important tool in many fields of research, from medicine, to psychology and the social sciences, to forensics"
I could go on and on… 🙄
Show us on the doll where SCIENCE touched you 😆

My first AV receiver was an Onkyo Integra I purchased used, so yeah I'm nostalgic for aluminum faceplates with buttons, switches and levers. but overall I doubt the minimalist glossy black plastic front will matter much in the real world.
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.

This all started when YOU asked "I said prove it"!
You keep claiming thats wrong OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER without any"proof"!!!
As everyone can see the only one trying to persuade and influence people and foist their OPINION on everyone is YOU!
As the endless professional reviewers(that have said they don't sound the same) often say, go audition/listen for yourself to find out what you think and find the one that works best for you...."sound" advice imo!
But WHY??
You already stated over and over that your philosophy is sound is purely subjective and you don't care what other people hear or what they think!
So WHY are you backsliding on your own principles and telling people anything? They WON'T hear what you hear and why is your OPINION any more valuable than any of the others that you say don't matter and that may be the total opposite of yours ? Why? It's pure hypocrisy. How you can't see that is astounding!
Thread after thread, you CAN'T RESIST foisting your baseless totally subjective SOUND opinions on people. Then you say listen for yourself. Someone then posts their OPINION that is as, if not MORE, valuable as yours and you start the ball rolling down the hill with "I disagree"…. Blah blah blah. It's classic YOU. It all right there in black and white. Crazy.
