Hi,
I currently have Denon X2100 and Marantz PM6006 with a 7.2 speaker layout. Looking at upgrading to Denon X6700 to support 11.2 Atmos and 12.2 Auro3D. (Would be adding 5 Polk in-ceiling speakers) . Plan to use Marantz to drive 2 channels, leaving 11 free for other speakers.
Wanted to check a few things about Denon X6700 -
1. Anything that one needs to watch out for? Some online posts mentioned about HDMI 2.1 issues and one says - "Denon and Marantz flagship receivers manufactured after May 2021 are officially glitch-free". Another pointed to some capacitor issue. Hopefully all these are resolved by now.
2. The price range is quite varying across various sites and with local dealers. Wondering if that has anything to do with the above point (based on when the unit was manufactured).
3. Typically when does Denon launch new versions in a series? If the next revision (X6800) is coming out soon, then the *700 series should get some attractive discounts.
Thanks in advance.
