After 17 years, I think I'm due for an AV receiver upgrade. I've been happy with the 5.1 performance of my trusty Nakamichi AV-10, but I want something new and fun. Here's what I'm looking for:
Nice to have:
Here is my consideration set at the moment.
Suggestions?
- Ample power to drive my B&W 603 S2s and Velodyne FSX-12 sub.
- I plan on running 5.1.2 by adding front up-firing ATMOS speakers, placed on top of my fronts
- Ability to add more speakers later
- Future proof support for movie audio codecs (Atmos, DTS:X)
- Good sounding 2-channel music (mostly streaming at this point)
- Auto calibration
- 4K HDR pass-through to my LG OLED B6
- Works well with XBOX S for UHD Blu-Ray
Nice to have:
- Chromecast support
- 1080p --> 4K upsampling
Here is my consideration set at the moment.
- Sony STR-DN1080
- Pioneer VSX LX303
- Pioneer VSX LX503
- Onkyo TX-NR787
- Denon AVR-X3500H
- Yamaha RX-V685
- Marantz SR5013
Suggestions?
