I picked up one of the recently released Marantz receivers and seems to be to same usual quality you’d expect. I still don’t particularly like the consolidation and what it and inflation seem to be doing to pricing.

It seems like the streaming services are progressively getting better about providing more Atmos content even though it’s implemented through Dolby digital plus. However, some of them are not mixed well or make much use of the overhead Atmos speakers.

Amazon’s TNF broadcasts actually pumped in crowd noise thru the heights rather than the rears. Not sure if it was supposed to be that way or a mixing error since I believe it was only a 5.1 broadcast but that was actually really nice. Still there without being overbearing sometimes.

Now if they could just figure out the compression so that every ****ing streaming service wasn't half as loud at OTA broadcasts.
