- Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 60W x 8 x 8 ohms; 120W x 8 x 4 ohms; 200W x 4 zones x 8 ohms in bridged mode
- Number of Channels: 8 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Number of Audio Zones: 4 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)

- Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Excellent except for reliance on web
It sounds great. It has enough channels. But relying on the web to control it is really a 2 star feature. What happened to simple balance and volume control knobs? Or a simple remote?
