Hi all, one of many posts. Please check out my other posts in other sections and offer feedback if you can. Would very much appreciate it, lots of great information on this forum.
Background: I am building a new home which is a walkout and we are finishing the basement and are putting a projection home theater in. The room with have blackout blinds to light control. The room size is open concept 32 long X 15 wide. Plan to use majority of room (18 X 15) for the home theater and the other have will be bar, siting, etc.
The more I deal with a home theater store/designer the more I am thinking I want to do most of it myself. Please check my other posts in the hardware sections and offer feedback on what they are trying to sell me vs what you think I may actually need.
The receiver they have for me is the Marantz 6001 - however, looking at the options this does not look like it has the options a person needs. Have been reading the forum and quite a few people like the Onkyo receivers, however, concerned that it seems to offer a lot of functionality but is cheap? Is it a lower quality brand?
The 6001 doesn't seem to have TrueHD and only upconverts to 480P? Unless the Onkyo upconversion is of lessor quality it says it does it to 1080i.
Thanks in advance.
