Thanks @dante01 - what I don't quite get is how to use 2 channel. Is it Direct or Pure Direct?There is also another option with the SR7012 that may be of interest. The receiver can be configured with different options for bass management relative to 2 channel stereo sources. You can configure the receiver's "2CH PLAYBACK" settings differently to how the receiver is configured for use with multichannel surround sources . You can set your front speakers size differently within these configurations than it would be set in the main configurations. You can even designate a different crossover to use relative to 2ch audio as would be used when dealing with multichannel sources or if applying upmixing. You'll find more on the 2CH PLAYBACK settings on page 241 to 243 of the owners manual.
Question to those with 8012's - are they good enough on their own to run the speaker setup I have in my sig?

Any benefit in taking a 701x vs a 601x if I retain an amp that runs the front 5?
TBH, not bothered about Auro3D.......is the processing the same from 8012 down to 6013?
Not sure about 701x vs 601x but the 8012 is a class AB with a 780 watt toroidal power supply, a more solid rigid construction, higer grade capacitors. stronger copper chassis that you see on the higher end products,Any benefit in taking a 701x vs a 601x if I retain an amp that runs the front 5?
This app will allow you to:
- View the speaker detection results, to check correct installation
- View before and after results of the Audyssey calibration, making it easy to identify room problems
- Edit the Audyssey target curve for each channel pair to suit your tastes
- Adjust the overall EQ frequency rolloff for each channel pair
- Switch between 2 high frequency rolloff target curves
- Enable/Disable midrange compensation to make the sound brighter or smoother
- Save and load calibration results
You don't need a laptop or a PC, but you would need an Android or iOS device to run the app on.

I know it's an older post as I just started reading through the thread. Having just setup a 8012 last week.I tend turn everything off anyway and run as native as possible beside room correction which I tweak to taste.
I ran Audyssey when I get in from from work and it made a big difference but not enough for me to be happy with it. I then attached the PA and again another step toward to what I wanted to hear, it was clear the extra power of Emotiva was present.
It’s also clear to hear that the signal isn’t anywhere near as clean as it is with the 7704. Just switching to pure direct and listening to music makes that very evident.
And the remote is properly crap!!
