From my personal ownership experience...A great unit and really hard to beat for the price. Even people that paid full MSRP in 2021( and waited for delivery) have been very satisfied with this unit since then ( AVS forum)
If you don't need the extra two channels I would toss in the Integra DRX3.4 for $569 into the mix.
From personal experience you likely wouldn't hear much of a difference if at all especially for the cost savings.
The 3.4 has been out just as long & just as many happy owners also!

You should note that an additional amp is required to run the last 2 channels.
To anyone looking at this - I'd get this receiver if you have space behind your seating position to run true rears in a 7 channel bed layer (side and rear surrounds) . Get the Integra if your seating is right up against the wall and you can' only run 5 channel (side surrounds).

I thought both are 9.2. This one also does not have independent sub outs.

I did premise this on not needing those extra two channels.
In my experience 5.1.4 is the optimal layout in the average home setup.
Here is the optimal layout for a 7.1.4, not easy to follow in an average home in my experience.

Imo if you can't properly implement/place speakers, they won't perform optimally.
If that's the case, not worth the effort/cost in my experience.
Imo internal amps are not ideal, they can drop in efficiency quickly.
Often people want to add the better power of external amps to the speakers that will take advantage of it more.
Unfortunately on this 10 & 11 channels are not assignable, they can only be powered externally.
I still think that IF you only need 9 channels, Integra is the better buy, just my opinion from experience.
Both power 9 channels, this can process 2 more with external power.
Yes they both have mono sub outs.
