Even the ones the atmos title cant really tell wether the sound is from height channels...atmos (height channels) is a scam. We have ears place in a single plane and everything else is a pre concieved notion of where the sound is coming from...
There used to be a time when PC gets a sound card with 5.1 then when 7.1 came i had to only swapp the sound card. This avr is killing itself ...better this is back!Agree. However remember that there is always a new girl in the market. Processor is something that gets obsolete very fast. Today it's atmos tomorrow it's BTMOS !Then upgrades become expensive.
Check out the back panel with marked centre, left, , right etc in rca pins (out particularly)My old AVR has 8 eight pre outs including one subwoofer pre out. How do I use the AVR as a pre amplifier? Thank you

What kind of a power amplifier do I use for this though?
I prefer crown xls 1502. I own anthem too, but being 10 times more expensive than crown i dont see any improvement at all using anthem..crown is super good. I can accomodate a back to back comparison at my home (anthem and crown) if wanted!

What about fosi v3 monoblock next gen?
Tried one of those from amazon and returned. They are very good but cant get as loud as a crown. Crown is up there with those branded expensive amps.

Did you mean V3 mono? or ZA3?.
Because I was looking for mono block.
Xls 1502 or higher depending on ohms and watts of the speaker. All crown amps are stereo. Bliss for me.
Yes tried all those class d budgget amps from amazon. They are all clean but cant get loud as a crown amp. Crown amp loud and clear. Budget class D start loosing detail beyond some limit.
Ok guys, I did an experiment - I connected the pre-out of the rear channels (I only have a 5.1 setup) to my O&B power amp. Then I tried with eco mode on and off. With eco mode off the receiver heated up as much as before - even with the power amp. for rear channels. However once the eco. was turned onto on - the receiver is much cooler now, just watched twisters with a ton of surround effects and unit is just warm to touch. Not sure about the sound quality yet - I thought I preferred the non eco mode/but can't really tell, however there is something going on with all the eco mode stuff - that 1) either is screwing up the longevity of the receivers or 2) reducing power output. I just wish we can all go back to the days where everything was plain and simple - no power restriction etc. There needs to be more clarity on this so called eco mode by the mfrs. (unless it is one of those planned obsolescence things).
Cheers,

With eco on, internal amplification will be reduced almost half. If you are not using any of the internal amp then it's fine otherwise you can set auto or off.
With auto I had a lot of heat issues where the top of the amp - was too hot to touch after 1 hour. This is in a room with ac - temp set at 26 deg. C. And after 3 years of limited use (300-400 hrs at most) - power board failed (I think the 5v as @mbhangui referred to). Anyways it is what it is - before I never paid any attention (my previous Marantz bought in 2013/14 cost 60k) - now since any replacement is going to cost 1.5 lac - 2 lac, I am paying more attention to these cheaply made devices as to how to make them last longer. In 2 channel world - 1.5 lac to 2 lac - will get you a robust device that will last 5-7 years or more.
A lot more discussion here:

In 4800 switched all internal amp off with external amp connected the unit was still getting hot!!
Eco off or i dont know. need to check!
Please check, if on it should be much cooler. Mine is, even with just 2 channels pre out, with 3 pwr. channels of the rcvr. working. Before with eco off in this configuration it was still getting very hot.
