Q: The wattage per channel is not listed. What is the per channel and total wattage?
A: 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms
A: The advantage, has better made components on the inside, power capacitors, etc and the extra foot! Or support would make a difference
A: I said "yes" earlier but found out, by trying it myself (and spending on an extra set of speaker cables), that you cannot bi-amp the main speaker AND use zone 2. Although the receiver has enough connections to wire both, in the "Power Amp Assign" menu you can only select one or the other. If you select "Bi-Amp" here, the zone 2 speakers are silent. If you bi-amp the speakers and use the "7.1 + 1 Zone" or the "5.1.2 + 1 Zone" setting, you get your zone 2 speakers but your main speakers get different signals for the tweeter and the woofer when you play 7.1 or 5.1.2 audio which is not what you want. For passive bi-amping, both terminals on the speaker should get the same audio signal delivered through two wires. So the short answer is, no, this feature is NOT supported. Unfortunately, the manual does not tell you this explicitly.

"Exceptional Sound and Easy Setup
I recently had the Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2A 7.2-Channel AV Receiver installed, and I’m really impressed! The Geek Squad technician did a fantastic job with the installation, ensuring everything was set up perfectly in my home theater. The build quality of the receiver feels solid and premium, and the sleek black finish looks great with my setup. As for sound quality, it’s outstanding. With 100 watts per channel, it delivers clear, powerful audio that truly enhances my movie and music experience. The surround sound is immersive, making me feel like I’m right in the action. I love the 8K HDMI support, which is perfect for future-proofing my system for high-resolution content. The setup was made even easier by the technician, who handled the automatic calibration feature, optimizing the sound for my room. The MusicCast feature is a nice touch, allowing me to stream music effortlessly from various sources. Overall, the Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2A is a fantastic choice if you want quality, power, and modern features in your AV receiver. I highly recommend it, especially with professional installation—it made the whole process so much smoother!

Awesome!!!!
Upgraded to the RX-A2A from a twelve year old Denon AVR-1609 and the 5.1 surround sound quality is 100% better. Followed the set-up instructions and it was a breeze. Can’t beat the price for amazing sound and video quality for under $1000. Very happy with purchasing the Yamaha receiver!!!!

Great Reciever
Got this as an Excellent Open Box quality item. Saved ~$100 and has the same factory warranty. Works great and sounds perfect. Wasn't missing any accessories. Spent a lot of time looking between Yamaha and Denons. A bonus to the Yamaha over the Denons is the ability to use Zone2 for another room or outdoor speakers. I use it as 7.1 + Zone2 in my shop/shipping area with a Crown 1502 running my subs with no issues. Zone2 can be used to power a set of outdoor speakers or another reciever if wanted. YPAO works well too. Plenty of power and I love the MAX volume setting. I have it set to -10db myself to prevent someone overdriving speakers accidentally. Dead quiet with no hiss or hums at all. The bluetooth connects automatically when you enable it and the remote can even control the media and skip, pause etc so if your streaming from a phone you don't have to keep unlocking it. Little tip. If you use a pro amp with it, make sure its plugged into the same strip as your reciever and TV to prevent any ground loop hum. If you do get any humming then unplug the HDMI and see if it goes away. Most likely coming from the connection to the cable box/TV. It should be dead silent. Most of the time the cable companies don't ground the coax cables right.
