The diff between S Series and X Series is that X series offers more advanced room correction via MultEQ X/ XT / XT32 & Support for whereas S series has the original MultEQ. If you go higher up in the X series it offers optional DIRAC room correction as well.

X series generally has higher power output across more channels - rough estimate about 60% stated power across all channels driven vs S series which has power figures stated only on 2 channels driven other channels are lower priority.

X series also supports IMAX Enhanced and Auro3D formats w/ upmixing if you want to play around w/ that some folks argue that Auro3D upmixing mode sounds better than Atmos upmix. *Also note you can use Atmos upmixer on your S760H if you wish to upmix stereo content to Atmos outside of apple spatial streaming services.

S series is designed for small home living rooms while X series is like entry level to more serious home theater.

July 2023 - Same vendor / same SD editor post (Front page) @ $699
August 2023 - Same vendor / same SD editor post (Front page) @ $549
October 2023 - Same vendor / same SD editor post @ $499

looks like those "Front page" SD advertisements were not such a good deal after all.

Is this true 8k or 8k upscaling?

EDIT: I do have an 8K TV, just want to make sure I pick up the right receiver so I could pass a true 8K signal from my PC. Can anyone confirm?

People often compare this to the 970 which has been on sale for $100 less.
Here is comparison that should help.

I kind of wish I needed a new receiver, but can't justify upgrading my 960H quite yet

Is this worth + $100 over the S760H I recently bought from Costco for $410 shipped?

Main differentiators i see are more wattage for speakers, atmos music (which i believe only applies to Apple Music which I don't currently subscribe to), and detachable power cable lol

that is incorrect. the X800 series are the most current models and they are still releasing more X800 series models this year.

Actually there isn't but this happens all the time.
The other thing that often happens is this vendor has the best prices!
Some people have an agenda against them but never provide a better price option.

Take for instance the RZ50.
The new price is actually $1599.
The often sale price has been $1299.
The low price that has popped up was $1k.
