Why a Denon x3600 but no x4600 or x6600 or x8600?

... and that is why my log skills are crap!
So 15% more power = 0.6 dB!

Or, as Peng put it:

IMO, for $400 less, the AVR-X3600H is a much better value unless you must have Auro-3D. The approx 15% output power (or 0.6 dB) difference is negligible.

Well I ain't reaching for the old slide rule otoh let alone doing it in my head....

I couldn't even find my slide rule or HP scientific calculators any m, so I created all sorts of Excel spreadsheet to do such calculations.

For those who don't do spreadsheets or loss their slide rules, sengpielaudio.com seems to have just about any online calculators one can think of, for audio related stuff and theirs are way better than Crown audio, in terms of technical details.

That is one "information dense" website!

I suspect some people may find it messy, probably due to poor color coordination and font choices, but the contents are excellent.

Yeah I use their site as well. I have a slide rule mounted above my workshop bench....and haven't used it in a very long time. I had an app an engineer friend posted about once, a scientific calculator for your phone....but I deleted it as I wasn't using it and don't remember the name of it....

Does anyone know if the 4500 allows you to add external amplification to the front channels to do 11.1 like the 3600?

Yes it can.

Great. What about the latest Dolby upmixer, seems the 4500 lacks that for some reason?I expect the 4500 and the 3600 will about the same price on black Friday where I live. Which one would you go for?

Which one did you go for?

The x4500h. The price difference was merely 100 dollars, and I was curious about Auro-3D. Still haven't set it up though, waiting for some free time from kid and wife.
