For my living room. I currently have a Nvidia Shield connected to a IOTAVX AVX1 pre pro connected to a 2ch power amp and a powered subwoofer. Mostly used for music, TV and (some) movie watching. I also have a dedicated home theater with a Denon X3700H which I am happy with.
I have considered buying a Denon X3800H for my living room but the price has gone up ~50% since I bought the X3700H. The X3800H is the cheapest Denon AVR with pre outs AFAIK.
I'm looking for, at minimum:
I've spent some time searching for options around €1000/$1000 and have found:
Unfortunately neither have been reviewed here at ASR.
A second hand Arcam SR250 is another option, but rare where I live.
Eliminated options:
Any options I've missed?

I'm looking for, at minimum:
- HDMI in/out with 4K HDR support and eARC.
- Surround sound decoding, DD/DTS.
- Pre out for 2 channels and a subwoofer.
I've spent some time searching for options around €1000/$1000 and have found:
- Canton Smart Connect 5.1 V2. Costs about €/$700 where I live.
- Marantz Cinema 70S. Costs about €/$1100.
Unfortunately neither have been reviewed here at ASR.
A second hand Arcam SR250 is another option, but rare where I live.
Eliminated options:
- Marantz NR1510. Bad measurements.
- Yamaha RX-V6A. Bad measurements and weak pre outs.
Any options I've missed?
