I have pioneer 5 channel AVR. I need a 9 channel AVR now . I was thinking to get denon 4500h. Or should I get a 7 channel avr like 3500h or 2500h and use the old avr for +2 channels. Is it difficult to manage 2 avr , powering them etc. Considering the price difference, would it make sense to get atmos 7 channel avr and extend to 9 channel. Please suggest.
9 channel or 7 channel avr , what to buy

You cannot use two avrs at once. I am assuming you tend to use ur old avr and get one more 7ch avr and combine them to use 9 channels which is impossible. If you want 9 channels you should buy a new 9ch avr and 4500 is an excellent choice

No that is not the case. For 9 channel you need a avr that can process 9 channels. For example take 4500 it is a 9.2 channel avr but can process 11 channels. In this case the avr will have a built in amplifier for powering 9 channels. Here you can use an external 2ch amp and process 11 channels as the avr will have pre-outs for the additional 2 channels. If this explanation is not enough let me know I will explain more in detail so you will understand how it works

I prefer to use an Pre-Pro instead of an AVR. Now I don't but definitely will go for Processor and multi channel power amp. Class-D Multi-channels are an option. Now i am with the a Denon AVR 4311 and Emotive combination. Enjoy the power of real power amp.

If you don't need pre-outs on AVR and need only 9 channels AVR, then you may consider Pioneer LX 303, a 9.2 AVR, which can be used in a 7.1.2 (or) 5.1.4 set-up depending on your room layout.. LX 303 is also on the inexpensive side, almost half the cost of Denon x 4500..

Yes If u have no budget constraints ,that is the best option to go.
AVR when it used to drive for all channels lacks out of power may drops 30 to 60 watts per channel based on the AVR models.
I have Marantz SR8012 which is very good one ,but when I added an ATI power amp to the chain ,it brought big sound stage and Dynamics to the system.
I am in the same boat. Keeping AVR as plan B for now. Plan A is to get a multi-channel Preamp/Processor. That said I do not have the budget for the awesome Marantz nor the space for it. So the budget options for those interested are as below:
1. Outlaw Audio Model 975
2. NuForce AVP-18
3. Emotiva UMC-200 - (If it can be found)
Even opened a thread for looking for such a preamp. Link: https://www.hifivision.com/threads/multi-channel-preamp-processor.75415/

Recently I have purchased Marantz NR 1608 and tested in 5.1 mode and found that it lacks power to drive all speakers. Later on I have connected my old Denon AVR 2113 in power amplifier role to power front speakers. Now Marantz has more than enough power to drive SR,SL and Center. Now have more power, better Dynamics and over all movie watching experience is excellent. Marantz bring out the finest details from surround channels and Denon provides the power to front channels. Shifting few channels to old AVR or PA makes a great difference in overall presentation of movie or music.
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
