When I purchased my Denon AVR-891, it was listed at Best Buy as a 7.2 unit as it has 2 SW out jacks - info here:

I realize that they are probably paralleled inside the unit but I don't need a Y-cord to hook up my 2 subs.

I also have a true 2.2 system - 2 completely separate channels - in one of my audio only systems. I drive each of my L & R M2s/EP400s using the EP400 High Level Speaker Inputs from my tube amp.

True stereo = audio bliss...
