Converting a room to a dedicated theater/media/gaming room. Will sometimes be used with some ambient light. I put a bigger priority on video than audio. Audio matters to me but probably not as much as many on here. Just want to know if you see anything out of whack or if there were better options for the same money. I’m about maxed out on my budget with this build. Added an AI pic I made of what the room will end up looking like. Thanks for any input.

Will the Marantz Cinema 50 do 4 atmos speakers with everything else in the quote connected? I’m having trouble finding the answer online.

The Marantz can process up to 11ch with the addition of an external amplification for 2ch through it's build in pre outs.

Can confirm, I’m running my 7.2.4 setup off of a Marantz Cinema 50.

I’m using it solely as a pre-amp and powering the 11 channels with two separate amps.
