Denon comes to mind as one manufacturer who actually engaged in the process ...
Emotive also fixed a few RMC-1 issues pointed out by them... unfortunately I’m still on the side lines with both the company and the processor. I trust Anthem a lot more but the channel expansion promise of the RMC-1 keeps it on the list.
My Nad 777 measured just so so. In practice it is a champion of setup customization.
The 8805 also didn’t fair well. In practice it’s very passable for what it offers. Its hard to keep the noise floor down when so much sensitive analog electronics are mixed in a box stuffed with noisy digital and video circuits. A lot of the 8805 dissing was for things above the 20k hearing threshold. Although I think Marantz could have done a better job the wack down was pretty hard. On the other hand I’m not sure how inaudible noise effects the rest of the system as the amp will amplify it and the speaker will have to deal with it.
