  Nice receiver. Most receivers are unnecessarily high given that not everyone has full-sized speakers. Pity the THD is so high.

    The value "80 W/ch (4 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 1.0 %, 1ch Driven)" is the 'fake' power rating.

    Most speakers for home will be 8 ohms. So they use 4 ohm to make it look 2x more powerful along with showing the single channel power. 1% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) also means the signal is clipping. (Bad for speakers)

    Looking at the specifications it looks like the real power per channel is 10-12w if you are lucky as power consumption total from the wall is listed as 60w. So 60÷5-effencincy losses = the real max amplification power.

    Tldr this amp is garbage. Non UHD Bluray players are $50 bucks on sale. This amp is not worth $790

      The amp can actually be had for about $670 from Amazon US (it's multi-voltage).
      I think this amp has good practicality, especially with Google Cast, but I agree with your arguments about power. Not sure that's reason to neg, though, as this is an ok deal compared to elsewhere (which doesn't mean it's worth the price).

  Just to confirm, this is the 520, not the 520D with DAB+?

    Yes this is the VSX-S520.

    As the VSX-S520D is not an Australian model and is only available in Europe, so would have no local manufacturer warranty.
