Denon AVR-S670H

I did a little bit of research and found out that the entry level Denon AVRs have a 400 w power supply while the Yamaha A2A has 360 w power supply. I wonder 40 watts would make that big of a difference.
Just generally advantageous to have a more capable power supply but pretty sure your figures aren't max in any case. What spec are you citing?
I'm still trying to figure out a way to save the settings before I do a factory reset. I'm going to try that as a last resort to see if that helps with the speaker issue.

Also, what is the purpose of source level?

Please see attached picture
The Audyssey editor app is a nice way to be able to save configurations if you have to do a full reset. Source level is to match different levels among the various inputs, personally I find it useful for vinyl/phono input to have a bit of boost to bring it closer to digital standards.

ps Some Denons you can save setups via the ip access options too

pps yeah okay maybe lower end power supplies might max out at those levels, sad if so, tho....

Looks like there's only one setting for source level. But I guess now this is all a mute point because I pulled the trigger on RX-V6A, an aircom fan, and an elite 15i surge protector. Should be getting them around December 27th. Once I get everything hooked up, then I'll pull the trigger on the TV (either a TCL QM7 or QM851G)

Why put in a source level adjustment if there's only one? Are you referring to the digital vs analog settings for input? Moot point like you say, altho your Yamaha I believe will have also some sort of input level adjust

Why would there only be one?

That's what you said, that there was "Looks like there's only one setting for source level" It appears to have the typical input/source level adjust in the manual....

Would it hurt if I turn it up about 80%?
 
Depends on the input signal, but you likely just lose any gain advantage at the other end (max volume)

I have plugged into the back of my receiver is the streaming device.
I don't understand why just receiver would have only one source level adjustment. It seems like there should be multiple for the multiple inputs.

Seems like there's only one you wouldn't really need this adjustment. I think I might be missing something.

I don't understand
Do you have other input sources other than that one device? Not much point to using source level adjust unless you have different sources of different output levels....

Only the streaming devices plugged in back of my AVR. I still can't wrap my head around while they would only have one source level adjustment. I could fully understand if there were multiple.

What do you mean? Each input should be separately adjustable.

Only found one adjustment. I'll look later on tonight or maybe sometime tomorrow to see if I can find some more. It only looks like there's one though

It's a separate adjustment per input. Not sure what other adjustment to level per input you're referring to in any case.
