I’ve been away from the av scene for a few years, but as a result of buying a new 4k TV, I need to replace my Yamaha rx-a3010 which doesn’t pass through/upscale 4K.
My requirements:-
I need 4K pass through and upscaling.
I used to run passives all round, but have recently changed the front 3 speakers to actives (beolab 1’s and 7.2) and obviously the sub (PC13 Ultra). Will consider making the surrounds (KEF eggs) active as well if a pre-amp processor is the way to go, but I think economies of scale make an AVR a more flexible option. As a minimum then, I need 5.1 pre-outs. I’ve no plans to go 6.1, 7.1 etc.
I have a difficult room to equalise, but want an easy life, so I’d like good quality, easy to setup, in room correction (ypao, audessey etc) built in.
Inputs wise, I need HDMI inputs for Sky Q, PS4, Sonos Connect, Fire TV, Xbox, Wii-U
I only need 1 HDMI out to the TV.
No need for anything flash audio decoder wise, DTS, DD5.1 is good enough for me.
I’d like to spend as little as possible! Will sell my rx-a3010 for whatever it’s worth and can add £250 more. Happy to go pre-owned.
Recommendations appreciated.
Cheers
