The main selling point of Denon / Marantz to my mind is their licensing of Audysey room correction... which they have studiously left out of this product.
Kinda like the disaster that is the HEOS AVR... no room correction and 5.1 speaker layouts = a handicap in the marketplace.
This industry is not getting cheaper and cheaper, we're simply convincing ourselves that we have to push the cheapest option to customers. #makesonosgreatagain
