Well, my future anyhow.
I've been pushing everything through an Onkyo TX-NR929, which was antiquated the year after it was released as they won't/can't update it to support Dolby Atmos/DTS:X. I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed by that and I'm not sure I'm going to buy another Onkyo for the time being. I'm looking at switching to separates for a 7.1.4 or 7.2.4 Atmos system and a totally separate tube system and speakers for my turntable. My starting budget is around $2000.00. I'm looking at a combination of the Outlook or Emotiva 7 channel and 5 channel amps, and not sure what to go with for the pre. I know that a standard a/v receiver is an option, I would just want HDR support. I've also thought about sinking the money into a pre/pro and going real cheap on amps. Maybe one of those 12 channel amps used for multi-room audio just to start? Any thoughts?
TIA
