Someone mentioned toroidal power supply. I could not determine if it does or not. If it does, thats great.
It's definitely more money in Yamaha's pocket. Lots of licenses costs are avoided on this unit.
At the end of the day it's most likely a quality unit. Hard to tell without actual measurements. The audio reproduction world is the progenitor of unverified unqualified hype. People 'hear' whatever they want to hear.
It's your money. If you like it , get it but it's not necessarily an upgrade over a quality integrated from Denon, Yamaha, and so many others.
And it's only a 'deal' compared to its msrp and post covid markups. My unsubstantiated opinion is that it's not selling well and will continue to be discounted until it's liquidated.

Again, there are definitely receivers which could keep up with this on fidelity but you'd be looking at spending maybe $1500 to get the same kind of sound quality from a surround receiver.
From the manual:
If the speakers are connected with bi-wiring, select A+B.
