Onkyo HT-S9700THX 7.1-Channel Network A/V Receiver/Speaker Package with Dolby Atmos

UPDATE: NO AUDYSSEY BETTER 4K HDMI SLIGHTLY MORE WATTAGE
I do not own the 9700thx product but this is in response to another reviewer who said this product has less wattage than the previous onkyo ht-s9400thx model which I own myself.
