Hello,
I am looking to purchase a new Home Theater system with a few requirements and I am having some issues with deciding and finding the most "bang-for-the-buck" setup.
My requirements are:
Dolby Atmos
>= 5.1.2
HDR
4K Passthrough
CEC
One additional preference is no drilling in ceiling/wall for the Atmos speakers.
I will hook up my nVidia SHIELD to the AVR and the AVR will output to my (non-4K) LG TV.
Main media consumption will be through YouTube and PLEX, and for the future I am considering a PS4/XBONE.
I am comfortable with spending 600EUR +/- 100EUR for AVR + Speakers and I have found the following:
AVR:
Onkyo TX NR676E - 379 EUR
Denon AVR X1500H - 399 EUR
Speakers:
Onkyo SKS HT588 - 319 EUR
(Possible issue with the wattage?)
Package:
Onkyo HT-S5800 - 558 EUR (HT-R494 unfortunately does not support HDR, and therefore I am not convinced that this is a good deal)
Now I would like to hear from you if these are the setups which would be "best" for my requirements and maybe even preferences.
