Crisp clean sound and quality
I have this amp powering Klipsch surround and tower speakers and the crisp clean clear sounds and vibrant bass is very satisfying to the ears. I replaced my 80’s Harmon Kardon system and this is a step up. Technology has definitely been added and I had to learn the system and I am still learning it. However it’s an enjoyable process. It is complicated at first, but it is much easier after figuring out the app on my phone. I love that part.

Really nice receiver
I purchased this about 2 months ago when I stopped by my local hifi store. They had 1 in stock, so I bought it. I liked it. I upgraded my cables and now I LOVE it. I'm rewatching and relistening to a lot of my collection and absolutely hearing new things. It was a significant upgrade from my AVR-X2000 and worth every penny.

Excellent!
It was a bit tricky setting a few things up but now that it’s properly connected and calibrated it’s bloody amazing. The Auro 3D is awesome to use on films that weren’t mixed in Dolby Atmos. I’m just waiting until after Christmas to get an Emotiva amp to drive the additional 2 channels or I may just end up running the front three channels through a 3 channel amp and simply use the 3800s height speaker 2 ports. IMAX Enhanced is very good also it’s just a pity that there isn’t a lot of IE media available.

Better than before!
Purchased to replace an older model which had more watts per channel. When comparing the clarity, highs, and lows, the newer model is much more accurate. So glad we upgraded.

Early Batch Hardware Troubles?
Overall I'm very happy with the unit. I must have received one that has a hardware defect however as my analog sources cut out randomly. This doesn't happen via HDMI at all. The rest of the features are nice such as HDMI 2.1 and eARC. I'll update my review once my replacement unit arrives and is verified to work correctly.

Nice Upgrade
I love the sound compared to an older Onkyo 717 it replaced. Still playing with some settings, but very pleased so far.
