Our thoughts

Room correction that can grow with the room sets this receiver apart, with Audyssey included and a Dirac Live upgrade available later. It is made for home theatre builders who want Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D decoded in one chassis, with multi-room music built in.

Each channel is built as a mono block with its own discrete power amplifier, the aim being cleaner separation between channels in a larger layout. The phono stage is moving magnet only, so moving coil cartridges are not catered for on board. The 13.4 pre-outs and three zones let it anchor a bigger system, with a second room fed from its own zone output.

Best suited to dedicated theatre rooms and mixed systems where film and music share one rack. Talk with our team by phone or in the showroom about speaker layout and room fit, and whether Audyssey on its own or a later Dirac Live upgrade suits your space.
