I am looking for a receiver to connect a transducer 4 ohm 135-160 watt. I want it to be for 7.2 ch and bluetooth. My range is about 300-400.
I am looking at these so far:
Onkyo TX-NR686 7.2
Sony STR-DH790 7.2

any help would be great.
do receivers have a way to connect a seperate amp to them maybe that will help?
DH790 is on sale for only $20 more than the DH590. You'll be able to upgrade to 7.2 in the future. Or you can add speakers for Atmos and make a 5.1.2 system. Also Jamo has a set of upfiring speakers that are made to be attached to the top of the Jamo S 803s
Here is the 5.2, and right here is the 7.2.
I thought that my Yamaha 581 was super simple compared to my previous Denon. The Sony I have is pretty easy to operate too. I like Denon but it had a not of knobs you could turn if you wanted to.
If you don't like the Yamaha then I would look at a Sony. Yeah I know everyone is going to be upset but if ease of use is your top priority then I would go that route. The Sony STR-DH790 $300 would be an option.
Atmos for headphones is better than plain stereo and Windows Sonic imo. Once they release the patch, there will be music/game/movie options for it as well. I feel like it brings a slightly wider soundstage to my headphones when I use it.
My AVR was super old, from the pre HDMI era. I bought this Sony STR-DN1080 on sale for $399 (it’s $448 right now but will probably drop on Prime Day, and they’re selling an Amazon refurbished one for $413). It’s (165W x 7), 7.2 channels + phantom rear surround, Atmos + DTS:X, chromecast, etc. But for $298 you could get the Sony STR-DH790 which is the (145W x 7) version. Still 7.2 channels, 4K, HDR/Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Bluetooth. (It doesn’t have WiFi/AirPlay/ChromeCast and the Phantom Surround channel which isn’t that big of a deal). Just slightly less wattage per speaker.
Prime Day is July 15 + 16. And then I bought these Sony SSCSE Atmos Height Speakers — they’re $200 now but I got them around Black Friday/Thanksgiving sales for $100. They’re upward firing but, at least with my receiver, they’re MUCH better mounted (primarily because they activate during DTS content when mounted but not when upward firing). I don’t know what kind of budget you’d want to spend if/when you do upgrade, and I’m sure there are plenty of AVRs/speakers that are better quality than these. I really do feel like sound is a huge deal. If you already had an Atmos capable AVR and only had to add the height speakers, then it wouldn’t be that much, but AVRs will set you back some. Definitely try to have Atmos demoed in a store though, it’s sorta like virtual reality in that you’ve gotta experience it for yourself to get a sense of what it’s adding.
Anyhow, figured I’d give you lots of detail here so you can save this post as well for Atmos related stuff, and I’ll post another comment about the deals I found for the TV. I need to pay it forward since another redditor showed me the way.
