I do agree it is reasonable if you also were to report it didn't really change the enjoyment of driving said super car for 99% of owners due to their own driving habits. That seems like a happy medium of reporting facts with real world context.The larger reason of concern is the degredated performance compared to the X3600H. Because yes, I would believe most people that own this won’t hear any issues.
If the 2021 model of supercar (Bugatti, McLaren, etc.) had a lower top speed, don’t you think it is reasonable for car enthusiasts and magazines to point it out? 99% of the owners are driving them in metros and never go above 100, so it doesn’t really matter to them, but does the addition of QI wireless chargers built-in and a more response touch screen offset this)? Mottos are usually “New and Improved” not “New and Different”.

Kudos @Skylarlove1999 , you’ve put out an olive branch (and I’m being sincere).
‘Now, onto your point, Amir has only recently begun reviewing AVRs. DACs were the primary reviews earlier, and companies like Schitt have gone from “headless Panthers” to top-rated. They are now so proud of their products, they are sending them in for review.
Once AVR manufacturers realize they are losing out sales to well-measured rivals, they will begin making better products. I’m sure of it.
Just to confirm, if I use Hypex based amps for 3 ch duty, it's better to power rest of the channels externally as well so that overall distortion is kept to a minimum, right?With the 3600H, you can use the amp assign to power 2 channels, which can be your fronts for instance, but if you do 3 external amps, 1 internal amp will still be in use.
If you get an amp that has an input sensitivity of day 1.5Vrms or lower, it’s not a concern. To my knowledge though, most Hypex amps are 2Vrms or higher, meaning the 1 channel that still has the internal amps active will have higher distortion than the other 2.
I tried this today on my 2400H and did a DBT with a few friends as well. Playing music content from TV (YouTube) over HDMI vs streaming the same tracks via inbuilt Spotify or Tidal streamers makes a really huge difference. Yes, we can blame the youtube compression to our heart's content, but non HDMI content clearly had more sound output, dynamics and bass extension compared to the HDMI based source.Baloney, what measures did you take to ensure a honest listening test? How closely did you match levels? Did you use DBT conditions to eliminate any possible bias?
Yea but 900 000 of them are just here for my jokes and Amirm bashingInteresting posts from him. Classic defense with no counter information. He just post this:

Blasphemy LOL. Measurements are how all these people who never created a product in their life justify their importance and existence. Those who create do. Those who can't measure other people's creations.
I don't appreciate the suggestion that I should have a second signal chain to listen to music.
I can test more channels but it is not common for all of them to be whaling at the same time. But sure, if everyone feels strongly about this, and can donate money if I blow one of these up (!), I can test more active channels.I have to say though, I really wish we would get Amir's level of detail in testing, but for all-channel operation. That's the one thing where I feel that the measurements fail to describe the actual real world usage of these products.

You could have done your research before your first post, couldn't you?3 years is a long time? LOL. What are Amir's credentials that you guys all think he walks on water. Just curious.
I was thinking more for THD/SINAD/linearity than ultimate power output. While it would be nice to know what all-channel power actually is, I don't think it's worth testing to destruction. The reason is this line in the Emotiva A-500 review:I can test more channels but it is not common for all of them to be whaling at the same time. But sure, if everyone feels strongly about this, and can donate money if I blow one of these up (!), I can test more active channels.
That to me seemed to nullify the importance of any test preceding it, because who is buying those to run stereo? That's a massive deviation in performance when used as intended.I could not get the amplifier to distort less than 0.1% with 4 channels regardless of output level. So I stepped that up to 0.2% to get the third graph.
