I'm a bit late to the party but I bought one of these about 10 years ago when I had a buzzing transformer in a (very) expensive Danish integrated amplifier. When I complained about the buzzing the dealer took it back but claimed he couldn't replicate the fault. He blamed DC on my home power! I...

In Australia arsey usually means lucky. I didn't know about the British meaning until now. From the measurements it seems it's not arsey, just well engineered.

That "ELITE" logo on the front of the Pioneer sure looks nice but it can't replace the extra XLR outputs on the Integra.

Wine country Margaret River. This is our back yard with vines behind the trees in the background. It's been a very dry year unfortunately.

Here's something of interest regarding Auro 3-D. I changed the speaker settings to front high and rear high rather than front top and rear top and Auro 3-D was suddenly available! I lost my Dirac loadings but after reloading Dirac slots from my earlier measurements all seems like it is working...

I'm glad I'm not alone. I've tried to find support contact details and can't for Australia. All I get is USA or Canada options which won't let me go any further. Hopefully a North American member with the same problem can contact support for a comment and fix.

Yes that's what I've done. Still no 3-D

Yes. I have a 5.2.4 setup. And DLBC multi sub.

I'm trying to select Auro-3D to play Netflix and Prime movies (both Atmos and 5.1) but all I can get is Auro Surround. Am I doing something wrong or is Auro-3D only available with Auro encoded sources?

I just checked to see how much these are here in OZ. I thought I was being extravagant buying a Matrix Audio Element X when I would have been happy with the Element I. This is crazy pricing.

I bought an Audio GD ref 5 a few years ago after reading a load of hype on our local audio forum. Now I know why it sounded so bad. I put up with it for about a week before moving it on. It looked nice inside though. I’m glad I’ve never risked Audio GD again.

We're off for 8 days doing this. https://www.australiasgoldenoutback.com/page/outback-wildflower-trails I'll leave the March amp with my brother for the time we're away and see if it grows on him.

Yes I think we need to do a blind test. It's difficult having to disconnect the speaker wires and change amplifier but I'm sure we can manage it.

Yes the A-70 has negative feedback.

Yep. I‘ve done all that almost exactly as you have described. The room is symmetrical 6m long and 4.5m wide. Maybe the side seating is not perfectly symmetrical but pretty close. It’s a dual purpose room as you can see.
