I’m upgrading my primary music room


I’m upgrading my primary music room from a 7.2 set up to 11.2 with 4 height or in ceiling speakers. I have Focal Aria/Kanta speakers and an Anthem Statement D2V processor.  I’m looking for suggestions on a new 11.2 processor to replace the Anthem that has Auro3 software.  I’ve gotten spoiled listening to music on my home theatre using a trinnov 32 processor    I’m looking at the Marantz 7706.  Is there a immersion audio processor out there in the 2 to 5 K$ range that’s a better choice?

Sounds like a Home Theater room not a music room.
Guess I am just old school. 2.0, 2.1, 2.2.
11.2 yikes.
So, the processor question is better asked in the Home Theater section I’d think. But as we’re here, there’s no processor in the $2k-$5k range that’ll do as well as a dedicated stereo integrated or separates, so if you’re serious about 2-channel performance that’s the way to go IME. The easiest, most cost effective route would be a good stereo integrated with a HT bypass input switch between stereo and HT just by pushing one button. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
