Pick any receiver that supports Dolby Atmos, these 9080x speakers have height speakers that kick-in only with Atmos output. I have a Yamaha RX-A1080 that works well with these speakers. Although, I would not recommend the Yamaha RX-1080 as I have not been able to get the 4K HDR to work on this receiver with my Apple 4K (the settings don't work). Many medium priced receivers from Onkyo, Denon and Pioneer support Atmos.

Sorry, there was a problem.

The only receivers that I am aware of that BB sells that fit the bill are from Marantz, Denon, and Pioneer Elite. They may have picked up the Onkyo brand. Perhaps there is one from Yamaha with that kind of power. Ask them. Other considerations include the class of the power. You should discuss the class’ impact with your Magnolia advisor at BB. I went with Marantz. Remember power at ALL channels driven from 20-20,000 Hz. Not just at 1,000 Hz.
