If you haven't pulled the trigger on the Marantz yet, you might want to check out the Arcam AV40. Like the Marantz 8805, it supports 13.2 in Auro 3D, but also uses Dirac for room correction in all channels. Dirac is amazing!

Immersion Auro 3d processors
I’m upgrading my primary music room from a 7.2 set up to 11.2 with 4 height or in ceiling speakers. I have Focal Aria/Kanta speakers and an Anthem Statement D2V processor. I’m looking for suggestions on a new 11.2 processor to replace the Anthem that has Auro3 software. I’ve gotten spoiled listening to music on my home theater using a trinnov 32 processor which is not an option due to price range. I’m looking at the Marantz 7706. Is there a immersion audio processor out there in the 2 to 5 K$ range that’s a better choice?
