Not exactly the ideal time to be looking with a global crisis going on but have been wanting to look at replacing my old (10yr plus) setup at home and could use some advice / information to help get started as I know next to nothing about this stuff.
Currently we have a DVD upscaler that also acts as an audio receiver for other items (TV, Set top box, Xbox One S) that connect to it via digital coax / optical and the receiver can decode DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 and it came with the speakers, Front Left, Center, Front Right, Subwoofer and then Rear Left, Rear Right that have a box that connects wirelessly (2.4GHz) to the receiver.
At the time we got it we didn't have a lot of wifi equipment but they interfere with it something chronic these days.
So am looking for a setup that can take multiple inputs and supports DTS:X and Dolby Atmos decode so to achieve this I need an A/V receiver that takes HDMIs in (as there is no support for DTS:X and Atmos over optical) and can support 4k60 HLG, HDR10 and Dolby Vision passthrough to TV.
I am not overly fussed if the receiver comes with speakers (potentially makes things easier) or not but if not a good set of matched speakers with a speaker config of Front Left, Centre, Front Right, Subwoofer, Rear Left, Rear Right (rears wireless if poss cant run cables round under floor or up walls) and 2x Atoms speakers (the type that fire up, couldn't get away with in ceiling mounted speakers as the wife would kill me as only refurbed the living room a year ago) [Note: not sure if this config is referred to as 5.1.2 or just 7.1 or something else]
The budget isn't limitless but I am not sure where I should start with this stuff so any information would be welcome to start researching.
I am not looking for a soundbar arrangement, I think they have there place in the world but this isn't it.
