Many thanks for all the replies and advice! I find myself even more confused now though except for the fact I have ruled out the Onkyo option as I suspected it would be money wasted. I could keep the front heights but I do favour proper 7.1...confused.com. Atmos is not a simple thing to...

Hello all, After an upgrade to my kit over the last month or so I'm now going to rearrange my speaker set up and lose the front heights and go 7.1 with 2 atmos speakers to replace them. My question is as I can't flush fit ceiling speakers due to the construction of my main room would I be...

I wonder if this is a symptom of the extra brightness the screen pumps out at 4K HDR? Did you use that feature a lot or did you just watch HD and SD content? Sure is strange to get screen burn like that on an LED tv though and I'm surprised you are going to buy another Samsung.

bigoss, Quick update. My SR7011 arrived yesterday and it's up and running, so far I'm extremely impressed with it and it's a huge upgrade over my previous RX-A2020. It's so musical and capable of scale and detail I simply haven't experienced at home before! I'm a very happy chappy and really...

Hello all, My SR7011 arrived yesterday and it's all set up and running although I haven't had the sound meter out to check the speaker levels. First impressions are very positive although I've yet to give it a thorough test so will report back in the next few days with more detailed...

Of course I will. It's arriving tomorrow via DPD so I'm going to set it up when it arrives. Will report back when it's up and running and had a thorough test.

That's excellent info thank you very much I'm feeling much more relaxed about it arriving tomorrow now thank you Benedit_Arnold much appreciated.

Thanks bigboss! If I remember correctly my yamaha rx-a2020 is configured using the front pre out to drive my stereo system. I'm sure that's how it's connected but may be wrong as it's been some time since I set it up...how often do we look at the rear after set up eh? That's a relief and means...

Ordered the Marantz SR7011 bigboss! Can you tell me if it has a pre out for connecting my stereo amp and cd player or equivalent please? Looked at the back panel and couldn't see any sign of one which will be a massive problem if I can't connect my hi fi equipment to it. Thank you.

Hello all, I have just ordered a Maranrz SR7011 AV Receiver yet just realised there seems to be no pre out connection on the rear of the unit. I currently use this on my Yamaha RX-A2020 for connecting my stereo amp and cd player to my receiver. My question is...how can I do the same with the...

Thanks bigboss. That reaffirms what I was thinking but it's a tough choice between the two! I can afford either so price isn't a factor it's more about performance and system matching along with spec which matters most. I know you said the Marantz was excellent and you don't regret purchasing...

Hello all, Happily I sold my LG OLED55930V last night for £700 and have decided to delay purchasing a 4K player in favour of replacing the next highest priced piece of kit which is the receiver. Now I'm very much torn between a Yamaha RX-A3050 at £1,299, the Marantz 7011 at £1,199 or this...

Hi gel, You know me so well eh! What do you think? It's my birthday next month...I think that's the excuse I was looking for! ;-)

Hello all, Just a post about my initial impressions of the LG OLED55C6V after having it up and running since Wednesday. Got to say that this TV is exactly the upgrade I was hoping it would be and after watching a huge variety of content on Blu-Ray, 3D Blu-Ray, 4K Nextlix in HDR and Dolby...

Many thanks bigboss that's a much better fit all round than my 2020 which is admittedly a bit of a tight fit, in fact I can't get anything bigger onto my rack. I'm getting into full selling mode after the TV goes up so when I sell the 55930V and 2020 I will be upgrading the receiver so...
