If one were looking for a high qaulity 5.1 receiver with

At least HDMI 1.2- 1 output 2 inputs

Lossless uncompressed audio

Some type of auto EQ system.

at least 90-100 watts per chnl.


Where would one look?

I understand everyone in the world except me is using a 7.1 setup in their home but i'm not and don't expect to so why do I want to pay extra for 2 channels that I'm not going to use.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

dan.

You're not paying for 2 extra channels, that's simply how AV receivers come these days.

If your front speakers allow, you can use the back channel amps to bi-amp your fronts.

I don't think every 7.1 receiver allows you to use the amps that way (biamp.) I am also not sure what you would gain, because all amps share the same power supply.

every decent 7.1 AVR makes for a good 5.1 avr.

^ ...and in many cases will include Dolby PLIIx, which if you can squeeze 7.1 speakers into a room, will make for a fairly convincing derived surround effect from 2 channel sources (if you like that sort of thing).

They all come in the 7.1 flavor and you will notice on reviews that show their measurements the good ones meet or beat their advertised power rating on 5.1

but never on 7.1 besides you could always use the powered zone 2 stereo that some

offer for outside speakers or another room.

How about the NAD T755?

Has close to the power you are asking for. Usually NAD power is greater than what they spec. Just an option.
