Hi!
I bought an optoma projector back in March and absolutely love it.
Only issue is, the sound is really letting it down. I've only got a fairly standard soundbar, and I decided I wanted to upgrade. My budget is anywhere between £350 and £700.
My first thoughts was upgrading to a Pioneer HTP74. It has a receiver + speakers for £399 , and I thought it was great. After further research though, I have found out the sub isn't powered and it has no dolby atmos. Also, being an all in one package,will the speakers be good quality? Most online posts say avoid packages due to low quality speakers. Link to Pioneer here
After quite a lot of research, I've realised I watch streaming sites which use Atmos about 95% of the time I'm watching TV. So people have suggested going down the route of receiver + speakers bought separately. My question is...will there be a noticeable difference between this setup and a £350 Pioneer package? I don't want to just spend £650 when I will get the same results out of the £350 pioneer. And whilst I may not enjoy atmos in a 5.1 setup straight away I'd like to have something upgradeable.
I've found this Sony STRDH790 which has Atmos,4k and is very cheap in comparison to others. I am very new to this stuff so I am unsure up to what kind of speakers I can pair it to.ble.
My requirements are 4k passthrough, if possible Atmos (for netflix etc),and a phono in for my vinyl. Looking at around £300/£400 for the receiver and £300 for speakers.
Thanks for the help/sorry for the long post.
