I wanted a couple more channels. Planning on doing a 5.2.4 (4 atmos height channels).Anything wrong with the old one?
And this allows me expansion in the future. It will do 11 channels as long as you use an external amp for 2 channels, which I do.
It is also the cheapest AVR that supports Dirac Live. Which is the premium room correction software. But it's very expensive, $375 to $800. So not sure I'll go they route yet.
But no it works fine.
