Yamaha RX-V685 vs Denon AVR-X1600

[Waalbaala]

The new Yamaha V6A is to watch out for. Just announced. More power than Denon 2600/2700 - 100 W/ch at 0.06% THD compared to 95 W/h in Denon 2600/2700. 2.2 preouts - allowing you to add a stereo amp for fronts, 4 8K/HDMI 2.1 ports compared to only 1 in Denon 2700. Multi point YPAO calibration. US price is $600 similar to V685, full 200 lower than 2600 and 250 lower than the new 2700. And matches Denon on other attributes.

I had ordered a Yamaha Avetage Rx A880 due to some delay i am offered the Yamaha Rx A6a , is it a good option to go for the A6a for the same price?

Dear Experts,
I am looking to upgrade from Yamaha HTR-3072 for a Dolby Atmos setup. I have Elac Cinema 5 speakers.
Confused between Yamaha RX-V685 & Denon AVR-X1600. Local dealer quotes 55k for both receiver.
My usage is 80% movies in Netflix/Prime & 20% music. I am planning to keep for another 3-4 yrs.
Please help me to choose one or suggest any other AV Receivers.
Thank you.

you have no budget limits consider Anthem AVRs they are highly capable in HT setups
