So I have my MR1L all set up and here are my thoughts:
I am very impressed with the sound field of this receiver, I am coming from a Denon AVR3600. The head room is outstanding, I have it connected to the Klipsh Reference Cinema System 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos with two 12” subs. Everything is crisp and clear and the Atmos processing is amazing as well as Dolby Surround, the Bluetooth works flawlessly streaming music from my phone. The Denon was a good receiver but lacking in head room and clarity, also the lack of power compared to this unit.
I have had a few glitches, sometimes when I turn it on I get a crackling coming from the speakers. If I mute the unit then unmute the crackling disappears but it is annoying, also I have the unit set to power on and off with the TV which sometimes after powering off the receiver has a mind of its own and turns back on.
The remote is not very user friendly, the area around the OK button with the arrows is very small making it difficult to make a selection.
Overall I am very pleased with the MR1L, I have been a huge fan of Emotiva since I purchased the XPA5 amplifier many years ago, unfortunately I ended up selling it because I did not use it that much and the power was crazy.
I hope this serves me well for many years to come.
Thank you EMOTIVA!!
