Hi, I would like to build a 3.1 home cinema setup. I don't care about surround sound but I do want the centre channel so I can separately control the dialogue volume, as so much modern media is terribly mixed with loud action and quiet dialogue and I'm sick of having to enable subtitles all the time just to follow what people are saying.
I know that 3.1 AVRs are not a thing, so I'll need a 5.1 one. I need the speaker outputs, room correction, and two HDMI outs (as I have a projector and will be adding a TV too for daytime viewing). Other than that I don't care about extra features like atmos etc.
Something small and discreet would be great as I don't have much space.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Surely there is a product out there that fits these criteria? So far I've been unable to find one, and most of the AVRs I can see are many hundreds of pounds, which seems like horrible overkill given the basic featureset I'm after.
