Which atmos reciever/preamp / integrated has the best room correction built in and atmos?

Im more into 2 channel and not current on home theater processers,   l
ideally has preamp outs, ive got amps and speakers, just wanting a newer 4K atmos  refresh for my home theater.

Audiophile is fine, but I have another room for that.  This room has high 96db speakers 7.1 already installed  and 2 farily fast 18 subs already.  I will be adding 4 ceiling speakers for the atmos.  Im fine with 2 or more hdmi and i dont care about pass thru preamp for hifi,if that helps.

Im not very up to date on recievers, been looking at the marantz but wondering what else is out there.

Thankj   Room is 2000 cubic feet,   100 inch screen 13 wide by 23 deep room

budget 500-2500 for preamp/receiver/integrated   and mainly as a pre/ room calibration

I should add, I have run my own 5.1 theater, using an Oppo DVD player and miniDSP.
I was able to get away with no EQ except in the center and subwoofer.

For the remaining 4 channels however I did not need it.

Good room acoustics, matched speaker designs, and bass traps absolutely helped. Would I give up my DSP for "signal purity?" Never, it was amazing.

Bass traps are enabling technology, but a well integrated sub requires EQ, and when it is used properly I'll take that over poorly integrated sub and "signal purity"

From what I've read, Anthem is among the best room correction, and certainly within your budget.
