S is the previous generation and without the screenS8 or S9 is better value I’d say and can be less noisey
AVR10: 2 subs on one sub channel- don't know how Dirac BM will work on that if room is not perfectly shaped. Dirac will see them as one sub - same for avr550True.. so either way (10, 20 or 550) it’s still a minimum of 2 boxes for 5.1.4. My surrounds are 4 ohm, 85db sensitive.
it looks like the options are
AVR10: 3 Dirac slots, Dirac bass management, potentially future upgrades for sound formats etc
550: I’m guessing similar price to AVR10, better amps for my surrounds, limited crossover flexibility
AVR20: Better amps for surrounds, maybe independent bass management if I upgraded to 2 subs down the road
AVR20: Up to 4 independent subs, so 7.4.4 (or even 7.5.4, or 5.4.6)
please correct if i'm wrong
