A nine-channel receiver with 11.4 processing that runs 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 natively and 7.1.4 with a stereo amplifier. The top of the X-Series: eleven amplified channels with 13.4 processing — 7.1.4 internally, 7.1.6 or 9.1.4 with a stereo amplifier.
Choose the AVC-X4800H for 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 rooms where nine amplified channels cover the speaker plan. Choose the AVC-X6800H for 7.1.4 rooms that want all eleven channels amplified internally, with 13.4 processing for later expansion. Neither is better in every room; the speaker plan decides.

9 amplified channels with 11.4-channel processing. 11 amplified channels with 13.4-channel processing. The AVC-X6800H handles more channels. If you might add height or wide speakers later, plan pre-wiring for the larger layout now — false-ceiling work is the expensive part to redo.
