The subjective part is what is the problem. There are no sound or tonal characteristics except for the relevant measurements, as that is what the measurements are made for and they do cover enough of the performance range that one would care for.
OMG - not sure what your are doing here at all if you are not open to the the premisses of this forum. Once you call it subjective, its pretty much the endgame in most circumstances.Audio system measurements - Wikipedia

Not sure where are you getting at. I am not open to the premise of this forum? What does that has to do with my initial statement about SINADs? Something is lost in translation here.
Agreed 100%, though it also depends on how it is measured, example: single point, or multiple points/conditions etc.
True, but how about if SINAD, frequency response, cross talk, Dynamic range, 32 tone tests and the many other test Amir did are all good, are there other things that tell the story on sound tonal characteristics that Amir should be testing/measuring? And if the missing things would come down to taste, then wouldn't it be almost useless, given that people tend to have different taste?
Oh well - I guess as long as people enjoy their hobby it's a fair game. Their system and their cash.
.Listening. Preferably A B X listening. It seems to me most people would prefer clarity. The AV7705 was not clear. I am guessing the poor SINAD was related to its poor sound. It also seemed like it had a timing problem with ATMOS especially compared to other equipment. AV3600 better but for whatever reason a lot clearer than the AV7705 and ATMOS timing was right that may of helped it sound clearer. AV10 clearer. I think anyone listening would notice these differences.
Your audio budget is larger than mine.Oh well - I guess as long as people enjoy their hobby it's a fair game. Their system and their cash.
However, most budgets are often limited and allocating the budget smartly is really the key to maximising the benefit.
My decision to buy AV-10 did not take away any budget from other components. In fact was a sound cost saving decision as Storm and Trinnov were the brands I had in mind as alternatives
That's why there's different brands of cars. At the end, most people don't care which one has five stars safety or the most horse power. They get what fits their desire. That's how it goes.
Sorry if that came rude - was not my intention at all. Just the fact that I had other basis covered well before going with AV-10.
Yes, you can check out a video from Audioholics where Gene explains how to use the feature you ask for.
After running GLM to calibrate the 8361 and the W371 combo, effectively making them a single large speaker as far as the AVP is concerned, you would simply configure the Front speakers in the AVP(AV10) as Large and set Subwoofer to None. Then, all frequencies including LFE will be sent to the Front speakers.
You can go beyond that and actually filter how much LFE you want "leaking" to the speakers. In fact, you can "leak" the LFE signal to any speaker of the whole system. This is super nifty, because let´s say your rears are full spectrum speakers and capable of pushing really low sound; with this option you can actually route of much LFE as you want/your speakers are capable of reproducing.
I believe that is possible when using a subwoofer and the Subwoofer Setting in the AV10 is set to 1,2,3 or 4. The LFE will go to the subwoofer and LFE can be sent to the Large Speakers using the LFE Distribution setting. When no subwoofer is present, LFE should automatically be sent to the Large speakers which are usually just the Main/Front speakers.
I have tried that in my own Marantz AVR and the LFE track does not go to the mains even with the subwoofer disabled. I guess it is a way to protect the speakers, as the LFE with high volume can wreck the speakers.
As others noted your plan should work.
