Thanks! Just bought a a6a open box from best buy for only 50 bucks less. Bought this and returning the open box to best buy. Awesome receiver. Sound quality is incredible.

Quote from BraveHealth1818 :
How did you configure that ?
Use the amp reassign on the RX-A6A and plug the pre-outputs to the multi channel input of the RX-A3000. Set the output to 0.0dB and use pure direct mode. That's the simplified version...there's been a whole lot of learning and tweaking using Room EQ Wizard (REW) to get it dialed in to sonic glory. I have a sudo front wide channel with the mains and refer back to my use of REW.

YPAO get you in the ball park, REW knocks it outta the ball park

i got the a6a at 1349 or around that price from adorama last year but i would have preferred this at this price
What will be your reasoning for this? I am waiting for A6A but can buy it if it is worth it. I am currently wired for 9 channels.

Depends on what you're trying to upgrade and needs.

Unless this has a must have feature worth $1700 not sure it's an upgrade worth the cost.
You will lose 2 extra channels and a better RC.
Here is a comparison of the two, to see the other differences.

Atmos is Atmos...it's position-relative sound, not channels. So the receiver converts those positions into channel components according to your configuration, and ideally according to the RC (though I'm not sure how well that works)

So this AVR offers 11.2 channels and supports object based soundtracks(Atmos/DTS:X).

As long as the movie offers "Atmos" soundtrack, what your AVR can support for it is what you get.

This AVR supports up to two pairs(4) of "Atmos" channels/speakers.
The usual bed/core layer speakers are 5 or 7. The two subwoofer sub outs are parallel(share the signal).

Room environment and proper position of those channels/speakers dictates the optimal setup/configuration to use imo.

Paid a similar price for an RX-A6A, 1-1/2 years ago from Adorama, and totally happy with it. Using an existing RX-A3000, which I upgraded from, as an external amp for 9.4.2 configuration and it sounds fantastic.

Does using the external amp noticeably improve the sound quality? I have an A6A and was debating getting an amp.

What's everyone's running with these?

Frankenstein set of 11 speakers from the flea market. Boston acoustic bookshelves, Montgomery ward black made in china floors, two Cambridge soundworks computer speakers and another pair of Yamaha floors for the rear mains all tied to an Onkyo nr797 9.2 receiver. Total cost $100 avr $60 speakers.

I'd only consider an external amp if your speaker configuration requires it as the internal amp is pretty good as it is.
