Rx-775 vs TSR-700

[JJ_Walker]

I have had my tsr-700 for a few weeks now and I am on the fence about taking it back to costco. My previous receiver is an RX-775 Im going to swap out my dayton 5.1 set for kef q950's and and q650 center, which receiver do you guys think would be a better fit? I like that my 775 has preouts for all speakers vs the 700 having only the fronts. I would like to get into dolby atmos content at some point.Do you guys think the 700 is capable enough to run the kef speakers or should I go back to the 775 and wait to upgrade.

For future use, why don't you consider a good AVR now, with the specs you desire?? Only you can decide what is best, based on how much you want to spend, if you want a better model AVR with future requirements built in.

Does the TSR700 work well otherwise? I do like the idea of a full set of pre-outs, though, and when I have added amps to an avr I do like to have the front three at least but having even just L/R could work well enough too. What would you consider otherwise? What's the budget?
