Hi,
I've just bought a new speaker set: 2x Polk R500, 2x R100 & R300.
The room is 32m2 - 344sq ft.
My current AVR is a Sony STR-DN1050 from 2014.
I'm missing out on 4K 120hz, HDR10(+)/Dolby Vision and it's one of the main reasons I want to upgrade (that and I play XBOX Series X).
The Polks R500 are rated at:
The plan is perhaps add 2 Atmos Polk R900 extension speakers and 1 sub (SVS PB-2000 PRO).
Things I will never need:
I was looking through the reviews and posts but it's a bit difficult choosing the right AVR.
I've looked at the following AVRs:
I don't really need Dirac - Audyssey MultEQ XT32 will be more than enough (difference between dirac live is not justifiable).
My max budget would be around €1300 / $1400.
Your advice/input is greatly appreciated.
I used to follow the AVR space closely but I've been out of it for a while now.

The Polks R500 are rated at:
- Amplifier Output Compatibility8Ω / 6Ω / 4Ω
- Minimum Impedance (ohms)3.9Ω
- Sensitivity (2.83V/1m)87dB

Things I will never need:
- 2 subs
- more than 9.x channels (5.1.2 seems to be my end-game in my current house)
- Dirac live
- Phono
- Composite / component
- minimum 6 HDMI 2.1 4k 120hz inputs
- At least 1 HDMI 2.1 4k 120hz output (8k 60hz nice to have for the future but not a hard requirement)
- DV & HDR10(+) support
- Apple airplay 2 streaming support
- Spotify connect (nice to have)
- An AVR with a good chip without any audio/video drops/glitches/communication problems between components.

- Denon AVR-X3800H
- Denon AVR-X4700H
- Sony TA-AN1000
