So I've been perusing this thread for a while and am trying to see what I should get to upgrade to 4K HDR life. Right now I have an Onkyo and have been pretty happy with it (
TX-SR608). I think I got it in 2011 or something. Anyway, my primary concerns are that is has all the latest and greatest 4K and HDR compliance and stuff and has at least 8 HDMI inputs, with all of them having the latest spec. I have tons of stuff hooked into my receiver and I still have to swap cables for some things, so 8 would be great. I have been looking at Denon and their cheapest one with 8 inputs is the
S930H but I'm not sure what the difference would be in upgrading to the
X2400H or the
X3400H as $1000 is the absolute max I would be willing to spend, but why go that high if I don't need to?
Does anyone know the big differences between those 3 and if it is worth it for someone with a PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, and a gaming rig for 4K gaming?
And since I'm here, I'm needing to upgrade my speaker set up as I've had the same for 13 years now, a set of 5.1 Klipsch little satellite dudes that came with my first ever DVD player Receiver combo thing. I want to upgrade to a nice set of tower speakers, a great center channel (love movies) and surrounds for under $2K. Any recommendations on that? I know that's pretty vague but I have NO idea where to start for speakers. Also, anyone have a link to a crash course on how Dolby Atmos works? How many speakers do you need? Is it different from regular old 7.1? How so?
Thanks!
