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 Sound
Easy to set up with YPAO; high quality sound using with Klipsch speakers. 7.1. Super immersive especially with ATMOS native sound. Pure direct for all you audiophiles. It is a Yamaha so it does have some quirks but overall i would buy it again
