Doubt it since Yamaha doesn't update their receivers that much and the 1800 and 3800 are practically brand new.Originally Posted by Dezoris

The RX-V663 still looks like a much better deal.

so does the .2 outputs have separate distance settings?
or like the Z11 have stereo sub capability?
or is it just mono-mono?

It is a better deal in my opinion as well. For crying out loud, they use the same amplifier. The RX-V863 adds an HDMI port, HD radio, and maybe a few other features (nothing that should warrant the $300-$400 price increase, think Onkyo TX-SR805 vs. TX-SR875).

that is an excellent question and I was wondering that myself. I suspect they are NOT independent outputs since they aren't color coded but I will ask Yamaha.so does the .2 outputs have separate distance settings?
or like the Z11 have stereo sub capability?
or is it just mono-mono?

Just what I was thinking myself. So I guess I'll just wait to see wat gene finds out from Yamaha.

After a quick look at the manual, it does not appear to differentiate between the two subs in any way.
Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here, but what makes this better than simply splitting the sub's signal externally?
