How many total watts of power does this reciever have? I'm comparing to the Sony - STRDH590 - 725W 5.2-Ch at the same price. null

Referring to the specs for both, in the back of their manuals:

Two channels driven:
RX-V4A: 
  80W/ch @ 0.06% THD
  90W/ch @ 0.9% THD
  
STRDH590: 
  90W/ch @ 0.09% THD
  105W/ch @ 0.9% THD

Rated power consumption:
RX-V4A: 520W
STRDH590: 200W

They're pretty comparable, though the rated power consumption should shed some light on how much total (across all channels) the receivers can put out. There's no way to get 725W out and only 200W in.

The THD numbers may be important to you. The larger the number, the more distorted the sound.
