Hi, wanting to buy this reciever, but according to audioholics review, Link:
It delivers around 50watts per channel with 7 channels driven.

But according to, Audiovision, Link:
it delivers 123 watts per channel and 7 channels driven.

Are there different versions of the Yamaha RX A6, one for Europe and one for the US, meaning the Europe version has removed the "yamaha power restrictions"?

Or do they just measure different in each test?
The only difference I can see is Audioholics measures @8 ohms, and Audiovision measures @6 ohms, but that alone should not makes this huge differences.

Could it be Yamaha did release firmware after Audioholics test that unleashed the true power of this receiver, and when Audiovision did their test they had this new firmware?

thoughts?

No receiver on the planet ever has, or could produce 123 watts per channel all 7 channels driven. The Audiovision report is a back of the neck job!
