Which 7.2 receiver would be best for an 18 year old off to college in the autumn? It's his 18th but he got his big coming of age gift last year when we bought him a Dodge Ram crew cab pickup - with a puny 5.7 litre V-8...

Anyway.

Major brands only please. Needs to be HDMI2.?, HDCP2.2, HDR and Atmos capable, 4K upscale / pass through at up to 50 or 60 fps. Not huge watts though.

One of last year's models would probably do.

I'm thinking Onkyo 646, or 656.

Thoughts / suggestions?

No. He won't be in halls forever.
Yes. Some future proofing intended.
Yes. He already has speakers.
No. I don't expect him to spend every waking hour with his nose buried in a book. I certainly didn't. Half of going off to university is about stuff other than getting a degree, after all.
Just anticipating the comments I received from holier-than-thous on an American board.

That's a bit niggardly isn't it?

What about a real pickup?

That's what being an American is really about surely? (He should be able to get the 7.2 system in the cab.)
