Due to routing for rear surrounds being an utter pain in our lounge, something that I will tackle in the future as part of an overhaul project, I am looking to get a receiver that can do 5.1.2 --> 3.1.2 conversion for around the £500 mark.
The idea is that I'll have up-firing Atmos on the front speakers for the time being and add the rear surrounds way down the line.
I had the Sony STR-DN1080 in mind for a while as I currently have the 1040 find it's a great amp, but unfortunately it can't cater for this setup.
I know the Pioneer VSX-834 can do it, but don't have much experience with Pioneer.
Thoughts?
