Maybe not an exact comparison but a Dutch? review rated the Z9 against other flagships from Denon ,Sony Pioneer and Marantz.
The Yamaha rated 1st place for HT. If this will be your primary use, Yamaha could be the choice here.
Sony was rated 1st place for music probably due to the digital amps.
Most people purchase receivers for home theater. You can always set-up a little music system using small two channel seperates later if desired.
