One major thing I'm looking for in a receiver is pre-outs. I'm hoping this helps when I out grow my amplification. I've also heard that in recent years manufacturers have been forced to skimp on the internals a bit in order to add features. Next on the list is Atmos support. 4 height channels would be nice but I could get by with 2. Room correction is another must and finally the latest HDR standards. As far as specific models I've been looking at the Yamaha TSR-7810, Marantz SR5012 , or Onkyo TX-RZ820 and Denon AVR-X3500H. I also might jump on an ultra budget 5.1 receiver drop if the price was too low not to. I feel like there are three price tiers of receivers I'd be interested in - $100-$300, $300-$500, and $500 - $900.
As far as speaker brands I've been interested in they are SVS, KEF, JBL, RSL, Vanatoo, Q accoutstics, Pioneer, Definitive Technology, and Monoprice. As far as subs I'd like to see a drop for something rather budget like a monoprice sub for the bedroom and a svs sub. Velodyne has small 8 inch sub I was looking at as well.

gameaholicI wholeheartedly agree with you regarding room correction. Very, very important. By far the best at this is anything that contains the Audyssey system of room correction. The most common big names with this are Denon and Marantz, with Denon usually a better value. Onkyo has discontinued using Audyssey and now uses their own way of doing it which is far inferior. They only other brand of room correction I'd consider is Yamaha's.
