I went from an Onkyo TX-NR709 that I owned, temporarily to an Onkyo TN-NR646 just to get a taste for Atmos in my room, and then made the big jump to the MRX-1120.

The TX-NR709 was no slouch on specs, which is why I bought it originally for powering my 7.1 system at the time of purchase. Solid bang-for-the-buck back then.

I looked at Yamaha, Denon/Marantz, and even Onkyo's weak offering for getting me to 7.2.4 before landing on the Anthem.

Again, tough "cost pill" to swallow, but oh so good sounding.
