I'm selling an immersive sound pre-pro and and one of two amps. All prices include financial transaction fees but are are ex shipping from 30306.

Yamaha CX-A5100: $1500

The CX-A5100 is to my knowledge the only AVR or pre-pro that both upmixes Dolby Pro Logic II and decodes Dolby Vision. (Firmware is current as of July 15, 2018.) The CX-A5100 also decodes Atmos and DTS:X, and upmixes Dolby Surround and Neural:X. Everything except for Auro. It is updated with the current firmware. DPLII expands music into 7.1 channel better, I think, than Dolby Surround or Neural:X. YPAO automatic room correction is class lagging, but the CX-A5100 also has a reasonably flexible parametric EQ. YPAO Volume works decently for loudness compensation. ESS Sabre DACs. Selling because I never had time to dial in the transition region with PEQ. Replaced with a Marantz 7703 because the Audyssey app allows automagic EQ to be limited to one's chosen bandwidth.

Be aware that it is very deep, and measure that it will fit before buying it. (NOTE: Will take new picture of front panel to show that there's a hair or something on it. It's not scratched.)

NAD M27 180x7 Hypex nCore Amplfier: $2500

Two scratches on top (pictured). Includes all original packaging and accessories (magnetic feet, USB stick manual, power cord).

ATI AT4007 200x7 Class AB Amplifier: $4000.
One usability note to mention. If your power goes out, it will NOT start up from the 12V trigger. You have to press the front button. I complained to ATI, but Sanjay replied and told me that is intentional behavior, for safety reasons. I can only currently take a picture of the front faceplate due to system setup, but I will send detailed pictures to a serious buyer. Note that this amp is HEAVY. I think packed it is over 120lbs. I am not eager to physically move this amp.

Why 2 7-ch amps? My original idea was to use them both in a 7.1.4-channel system with biamped LCR. Then I realized I would never have time to set that up if I wanted to do anything else, or listen to music. So one of the two is for sale
