The deal breaker for me is the inability to do 7.2.2, just 5.2.2
I've currently got a 7.2 setup with an old (venerable?) Onkyo 876. I have resisted upgrading to Atmos but at some point I will probably do it.
I'd like to only add two upfiring modules behind the front screen, they should bounce the sound right to the viewing sweet spot in the front row.
Most everything I have seen is only 5.2.2 and I really don't want to lose the use of my current back surrounds. What receiver(s) should I be looking at? 9.2 that support Atmos? 11.2 that support Atmos?
What I *think* I want is 7.2.2 but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
