I have had my 7706 for a week now and still fine tuning everything. the 7706 is replacing my Denon AVR 3700, paired with 2 Marantz 7055 amps. setup was a breeze; music sounds amazing whether I'm streaming or using my Denon SACD or playing some vinyl. movies come to life in 4K I'm using 9 channels, 2 front, 2 surround, 2 back surround, 2 front Atmos and a center, with 2 subs. A little pricey but well worth it, highly recommend the 7706 Pre-amp and the Marantz 7055 amps they match perfectly together. Audio Advice is awesome as usual, fast shipping and they just keep taking my money. lol
