Hello, I am looking to have a 7.2.4 set up when all said and done (will be speakers over next 1-1.5 years) and looking for recommendations on a AVR that has 11.2 channel (+/- extra preout channels) that has:
1. HDMI 2.1
2. Ability to use a mix of preamp outputs and internal power amplifier on a channel by channel basis
I have a external Emotiva 5ch 250 watt amp that I would like to use fully
I understand the Denon 8500H fits this, but outside my budget.
Budget is up to $2500
Please advise, thank you
