If you want to see how a bunch of the new receivers only put out ~30 watts when they go into a secret 'limp mode' with no indication that you are not getting the 135wpc you paid for......

I didn't quite see the rating on the audioscience link about when exactly limp mode occurs, but it seems to be when the system is 'pushed' - I'd imagine when trying to blast your socks off

If you have old 8Ω speakers, they might never go into limp....but 8Ω speakers are pretty rare nowadays.
The odd part is that there is no indication on the unit that you are in limp mode. The receiver just keeps working at the greatly reduced wattage.
nevermind, didnt see coupon
In real world use, 30 is quite loud!
Unless you have very inefficient speakers & listen at higher than normal levels, you're probably not gonna come too close to that.
This supposedly issue has plagued those PAC units since 2021.
There has not been very many owners claiming they heard/had an issue in that time.
Quite the opposite, most have been happy with their units.
FYI the RZ30 doesn't offer preamp mode, so internal amps will continue to draw power.
The RZ30 is THX Select certified so you may not hear much of a difference.

Even if you forget and leave the internal amps on, the heatsink fans will never come on because they are not actually under load.

Using an older marantz SR7007 avr waiting on a deal for next gen avr with full bandwidth hdmi 2.1 ports
Was thinking about buying a used marantz 5 channel amp for like $500-$600 but maybe this would work as well
I live an apartment so don't get too loud but wondering if an external amp might help me, which I'm guessing 99% I won't notice a difference at my mid-volume levels but wanted to ask the experts here
The 4ohm speakers pull more watts so if you were A/B ing speakers at a store, the 4ohm would sound "louder" than 8 ohms.
Or think of car audio, where subwoofer drivers are often 1 ohms nowadays. Amps will deliver 4000 watts into 1 ohm, but only 1200 watts into 8 ohms.

It's either L/R front or all, not independent.
The 2021 models don't offer it.
The channels are all assignable also.
