Hello
I currently am looking for a new AV receiver for a new theatre room I am building!
The primary feature I am looking for is one where I can easily adjust how much 'surround' sound there is. Basically those scenes where stuff is flying all around your head, like the Matrix building shootout, I want to be able to boost the side and rear speaker volumes (or equivalent) up a bit and get some more surround sound.
The reason I feel this way is my current Denon AVR-971 receiver has no options for this at all and it always gave me a very lackluster, very faint surround experience. I've gone through every single possible menu and changed all sorts of confusingly named settings, and just was never able to get a really awesome surround experience. Now that I'm moving, building a new theatre and getting all new equipment including the receiver, now is the time to pick something better!
Other things I'm looking for is pretty standard stuff. 7.1, HDMI input/output including 3D support. Bonus for some future proof stuff like HDMI 2, HDCP 2.2
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which brands might have some features to help me enhance the surround sound experience?
