I've kind of had my head in the sand the last few years in regards to the latest tech in receivers. However, I just found out about dolby atmos and it sounds pretty cool. I primarily use my space for movies and gaming. It's about 10'x20' and currently I have:
2 X Polk Monitor 70 fronts (front two corners of room)
2 X Polk Monitor Monitor 30 Surrounds (in the rear corners of the room)
1 X Polk CS20 Center
1 X Premier Acoustic PA-120SUB twoards the front.
All driven by an Onkyo TX-SR608
I've ordered two Micca M-8C's to be the two upper speakers in a 5.1.2 atmos setup.
I just got back from a couple of stores where I listened to some receivers and I (think) have narrowed it down to the Marantz SR5012 and the Denon X3500H. I realize these are previous year models at this point, but I am trying to save where I can.
The Marantz to me sounded a bit crisper, but I dont know if that was the settings they had on the Denon or what. Does anyone have an opinion about either of these? I like the looks of the Marantz more, but that's low priority for me.
