Can someone point me to a few threads/articles so that I can figure out which to buy.

DTS vs Dolby?

Which features are necessary, which are fun?

I plan on 7.1 with 8os b/c size of room = huge, then 4 Qs8s, center not sure, sub not sure. Oh, and I will be using some sort of projection for visual (prob a mitsubishi or optoma of some sort).

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

Few pre-empts... Cost should be under 1500 delivered so not features too crazy; I am educated enough to find thx irrelevant; I don't care about which manufacturer so if one has better tech than others then steer me there...

I know this is a rehashed subject but I am looking for articles debating the pro/ cons of all the stuff in receivers today. The only receive that I have ever had is an old (at one point in history) top of the line Luxman stereo receiver circa 1979. So even though I am only 30 (I inherited it from my father), I need a few primers to bring me up to speed.

Thanks for your patience,

Ben
