so i am looking for an a/v receiver... gonna likely use either the nanostats or the omnistats for a speaker system with it - this (using nano/omnistats) is pretty much non-negotiable, due to their incredible WAF -> ceiling speakers are a must for this project, and from what i see, in my budget, the nanostats or the omnistats are the way to go. please correct me if i am wrong...
anyway, the a/v receiver requirements, for me are listed below; thx, in advance, for any input or insight...
the unit MUST
- do 7.1
- do all the lossless and audio stuff/formats the blu-ray can and will throw at it via hdmi (from the ps3)
- handle the audio formats the ps3 can throw it via hdmi
- accept hdmi input from the ps3 and the directv dvr box, and then output video via hdmi (to the splitter/booster and then an in-wall 15m run to the tv set hdmi input) all @ 1080p
and MUST also output audio (sent to it from the ps3 and directv box) via the 8 (7.1) analog cable pairs, sending it to passive speakers (fronts centers rears) and a powered subwoofer
