my budget is up to £1500
The B&W 700 5.1 surround set costs about 4500£. Maybe it is more relevant to spend £300 extra and go for the X6500H?my budget is up to £1500
Got a firmware number for this?There is new firmware available. Just before I pressed "UPDATE" it said the unit would power off, do the update and then power on again.
So ... I pressed UPDATE, it powered off. I left it overnight but it was still powered off and the ON button at the front or the ON button on the remote would not power it up.
Pulling the plug worked mind you.
Anyone else seen this?

It did it on my last update but I also had to do a reset as it caused issues, nothing major just messed up some of my settings.
Mine is on 2461-9110-1131-0025
Although it said it was updating, I'm sure it was on this before.
Set Virgin V6 box to 1080p max and no video dropouts since.I recentky purchased X4500 and I'm having visual dropouts at random with Virgin V6 box. TV is LG OLED.
The screen does black for a second then the picture comes back. Audio survives fine.
Sure it'll be to do with HDCP2.2
Anyone seen this issue?
I've had my 4500 for a few months main issue has been due to firmware update, whether its my network or as I have seen else where due to the fact it seems to prefer updates over wifi it generally goes fine at the second attempt.My question to 4500 owners is are you still happy with your purchase and has it on the whole been a good reliable machine. I see a few on here have had some minor issues but they seem to have been sorted hopefully.

I am looking to get a new avr for my living room setup which is currently powered by my long serving Onkyo 818 which has given almost fault free service for about 6yrs of daily use. It did have to have the hdmi board replaced under warranty after a year but other than that fault free.
I am looking at either the X4500 or maybe the X3600 and am hoping there will be some deals available next month in the black Friday/cyber Monday events and price will have some bearing on my final choice if one is a good deal lower than the other.
I have read as much as I can on both these machines and the 4500 seems to be slightly the preferred option as it has a 2 line display rather than 1 line, slightly more power and Auro 3D. It does miss out on a couple of features that are present in the X3600 but these are not necessarily essential as I shall be running as a 7.2.2 with some front atmos speakers so the Dolby height virtualisation would probably not be used.

Thanks I realise that the 3600 is slightly a level below the 4500 even though the 3600 is now equally a 9 channel amp rather than a 7 channel as the previous 3500. The 3600 has already had a price cut in the states of $200 and it should filter over here shortly I hope in time for black Friday.
If when I buy the 3600 is around £750-800 and the 4500 remains at the current £999 I might be tempted to the 3600 but at currently both at £999 the 4500 is the better buy.
I won't be buying just yet as most av stuff tends to drop in price sometime in Nov/early Dec especially the new models that were released in the middle of the year.
Where abouts are you? You are welcome to come and listen, I think it sounds Fantastic for movies. Which features are you missing on anthem? Funny I was thinking of maybe trying ARC and see how it stacks up... but curious to know what features you think the anthem lacks?How does this amp compare to the Anthem 720? I’m really wanting something that has more features than my anthem has but don’t really want to sacrifice sound quality.
