Wow, I hesitated for a while as I already had an AVR 4500h and was using 11.2.

Wow, I had my doubts for a long time because I already had an AVR 4500h and used 11.2 with an external amp. I pulled the trigger after some research as I had unused Atmos speakers.

After receiving this 8500 I contacted Denon's repair service provider Panurgy and after discussing the issue I was having (power supply) they asked me to ship it to them. Shortly after they received it I received an email saying they couldn't fix it, parts were no longer available. I'm talking about a $2,000 high-end component, not a $200 stocking. They knew the model number and through my communication withโ€ฆ
