Hey guys im torn between these two receivers and i'm hoping somebody with a similar setup might provide some incite as to which of these i should go for. So the two that i'm interested in are the Denon AVR-S960H and the Onkyo TX-NR5100. i understand that these are a bit older but they fit within my budget so i'm not really looking to spend more than what these are going for used ($299ish refurbished with warranty. I'm just looking for advice between these two and if or what reasons one might be preferred over the other. Im just a big movie fanatic so thats primarily what the unit would be used for (no cable to anything like that) however my daughter does love gaming so i feel like that should be taken into consideration regarding our use case for the device. Most of the content i'd be playing through the device is HDR/HDR10+ non DV files and with little to no compression made to the movies/etc (so 100+ GB in size).
Current Hardware:
- Primary source is my PC
- Additional sources- Fire TV 4K/ Xbox One/Pioneer UHD Bluray player (firmware flash)
- Graphics - EVGA 1660 Super
- Display - Hisense 58" R6 Series - 58R6E3
- Speakers connecting to avr are from a previous onkyo HTIB setup
- R+L- SKF-550F
- Center- SKC-550C
- Back R+L=SKB-550
- Rear L+R=SKM-550S
- Sub is also Onkyo and was part of this system but not sure on model.
Thank you for any help you guys might provide!
