Actually, the more I read about the AVR-X3600H the more I think it really deserve the often subjective and highly commercialized "Whathifi.com" award.
It's innard images online consistently look better than most AVR-X4400/4500H and SR6012/13/814 and SR7012/13 because they consistently show the better looking power transformer.
I suspect it will measure as good as the AVR-X4500H and SR7013 except may output a few watts less per channel.
And it is cheap in Canada right now
, at a little over US$600 equivalent. I really want to grab one as spare, more so than when the SR7013 was at US$900 equivalent a few weeks ago. WAF is what stopped me every time.
Below is the X3600H, note the transformer has the "Denon..." plate on top that is missing in many of the available SR7012/13 transformers and sometimes in the X4500H as well.
You can't easily see it from the outside but still.......
