DECISION POINTS
Choose AVM 90 when…
Four independent subwoofer outputs and ARC Genesis align closely with the proposed bass architecture.
Do not count sockets only.
The important difference is how the processor treats those outputs during calibration and bass management.
Both need a complete system design.
Amplifier gain, subwoofer topology and actual speaker layout should be fixed before either unit is ordered.
