I am eyeballing Yamaha YHT-1840 in amazon, if the price come down below 30K I wanted buy it. But before that, I am seeking fellow members opinion.
My current setup is old Creative T6060 5.1 PC homesteader connected Optical to 5.1 analogue DAC. And from the TV optical out is connected to DAC optical IN.
Primary video sources are mainly 4K downloaded movies and Prime video (Currently with my setup 5.1 not working on prime video but only on downloaded movie on Kodi).
TV is Hisense 55inch a71f, it is 4K 60Hz with with HDR and Dolby Vision.
I also have a Xbox Series X.
I am well aware that YHT-1840 can do only 5.1 and has no preouts for channels other than subwoofer. Also it support only up to 4K 60Hz HDR. No Dolby Vision Support too.
I live in rented flat, so don't want to invest anything above 50K.
My main query is,
In future if I have to, Will I be able to connect tower speakers, better center speaker, and book shelf speakers to this AVR directly? (I don't know which model of these speakers right now)
Other question is, Xbox Series X does support Dolby Vision and the AVR don't. So can I connect Xbox Series X directly to TV (any HDMI port, I have three) and take audio out from ARC (HDMI 1 on TV) to AVR?
Overall, is Yamaha YHT-1840 a good package for a beginner in home theatre for next 5 years or so?
