[QUOTE="Spurge, post: 825794, member: 14203"] Many thanks for the links Drifter. Great info. Read as much as I could and it appears that the Denon AVR-X4400H and X6400H both only have 11.2 pre-outs. I therefore assume the 13.2 minus 11.2 = 2 channels of pre-outs that they do not have, are the 2 rear ear-level channels. I now wonder whether it is going to pan out to be like the early Atmos enabled AVR's, that turned 7.1 AVR's into 5.1.2 AVR's. Sacrificing both rear channels for the 2 Atmos ceiling speakers. Giving birth to AVR's that had a very short shelf-life. That will mean that the next generation AVR's (Denon X4500H ?) will have 13.2 pre-outs. This will fully fit a 13.2 AURO3D configuration. So buying a X4400H AVR may be a very temporary processor solution ??? Bad one, me thinks. But then anyone who has a 7.1 system must often be wondering why they bothered with the extra 6th and 7th speakers as they are so seldom in use. They almost only of any use when upmix modes are used. In the case of AURO3D it will be Auromatic. So one wants those two rear channels. That means 13.2 channels, not only 11.2 ?? Thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
