Looking for advice on power (2 Viewers)

I wonder if the price won't drop some more. Apparently, the very similar, slightly older SR7012 dropped all the way down to $1K (less than 50% of MSRP) almost exactly 2 years ago (judging from a quick google).

Here's an interesting review for the SR7012 -- didn't see one for SR7013 from quick google:

Marantz’s SR7012 AVR is a powerhouse 9.2 channel receiver packed with the latest and greatest audio, video, streaming, and smart home technologies that will stand toe-to-toe with the competition.

Note particularly the power info, which probably won't be much diff for the SR7013, ie. expect 80-90Wpc (of clean power) w/ 7 or 5 channels driven. So probably plan on using this w/ a decent external amp if you want to go Atmos/DTS:X and loud (probably even w/ Klipsch)...

_Man_

Yes, the SR7012 did in fact end up at $1K for a while. I clearly recall that. Also the Denon X3500H hit, as I recall, $600 for a while. I haven't seen anything close to those prices in the last year though.
