Was lovely meeting you hope to see you again soon

Reading user reviews of the Denon 2200w etc many people seem to be equally impressed with the benefits of Atmos speakers using virtually created soundfields as they do with properly encoded Atmos material.

I have a 1040 and I have to say I am more than happy with it. I think some of the newer models have less ports though for some reason but sound and feature wise it's great.

Nice Sofa....

Believe Onkyo are highly regarded by some but as they are an 'Unknown' brand probably best to stick with names like Sony Bush or Alba....

there are a few amps out there now for this price that support atmos , even at this price not worth it because of the lack of atmos .

Cold just 'cos any Amp deal brings out the sad old joke

I've not done much research on this but I think they're 5.1.2 now with the .2 being either ceiling speakers or high speakers angled to rebound audio off the ceiling. Using this setup a 7.1 amp should be able to handle it. I don't see the price point as an issue either as this was a top end product. Also would it be possible to implement this with a firmware update ?
As for how films support Atmos you could say the same about any audio format that is newly released. Cinema is embracing the format so why aren't Sony ?

Unknown brand. Avoid :wink:

I upgraded from my Onkyo to this, the difference is amazing. The Sony quality shines through, it will teach me to try and buy cheap and chinese in Onkyo. Next time I'll pay for quality.

At 70 Wpc with all the channels driven this certainly is a better buy than most

Good amp but no dolby atmos or dts:x :disappointed:

Does anyone know if you can assign different inputs to different outputs?

Or backlash from those who thought the joke died a death 3 years ago! im sure though if people keep it up it will be funny again one day.

You may have indeed I bought my Samsung 40 inch from there 5 years ago I go in there now and again just looking

whenever i pop into Loughborough PC world I often wonder If I may have unknowingly crossed paths with the legendary Loughboro Guy...:-)

Bizarrely (but completely true) I actually bought my current AV Receiver, an Onkyo TX-SR444 from Loughborough...

(the place, not the guy..)

Good deal, same price at Richersounds too:
