If you can find the 4700s that used the AK4458, you can be sure it would measure better on the bench, but the "better" dac chip will not likely be audible, so I would stick with 4800 or 3800, mainly because of the DL paid option. Now if you are willing to spend time, potentially hours tweaking with the $20 app, the gap (perceivable SQ) between XT32 and DLBC could be much reduced, to the point some may actually find them so close that in some rare (I assume...) cases XT32 might even be preferred, as I can think of one member who expressed that subjective view right here on ASR.
The Q350 isn't that hard to drive to make a difference on the 3800 vs 4800, if your seating distance is not too far and you don't listen close to ref level. The recommenced amp power requirement is only 15-120 W (according to KEF spec), impedance would dip to 3.7 ohm, that isn't that bad based on ASR measurements (pasted below, so you can read carefully and see the frequency range of concern).
If I remember right (but I may remember wrong), the 3700 does not offer Auro 3D but the 3800 does). They all have the same DSP processor, according to the Masimo video. Ripeaudio should have mentioned that, I am surprised he didn't...
You are absolutely right, but keep in mind dlaloum tended to be on the safe side about the current requirement related issues. He has experience with speakers that dip very low and found certain amps couldn't do the job for him. You won't have such issues, unless you sit far away enough. Your speakers are not designed to play loud under those conditions anyway, it's maximum spl output is only 110 dB, that's at 1 meter, so if you sit from 4 meters, it will be 98 dB (without room gain, as room gain mainly affects the bass range) and that's 7 dB below reference, probably still loud enough for most people. At that high spl output level, the Q350 would likely complain (high distortions) more than the AVR would.
The Q350's impedance dips below 6 ohms, between about 120 to 400 Hz. Regardless, I would always put a quite usb fan on top, or blow from the back. I have been doing the same even on my AV preamp processors that don't care about speaker impedance.
