Hi all - just got the AVR 110 and boy it sounds different than the 8500H. Cleaner, more impactful and a more refined top end that is not as bright as the 8500. I’ve compared different combos, and the most recent disappointment that this best’s is the HTP1 w/ Parasound A52+ combo. The latter had a hard time with booting problems, appearing to be systemic, and the service reps admitted that they don’t know the cause so they offered a refund as they could not repair and were out of units for at least 4 months. Of course the A110 is more stable, but I have to say it also sounds better so far and I’m quite surprised. Still lots to do in terms of room EQ, this preliminary review I’m giving is a 2 channel pure direct comparison. Without @amirm review I would have been lost - so thank you! Would be great to see how this measures differently than the already good spec’d 8500
