Which atmos reciever/preamp / integrated has the best room correction built in and atmos?

@phantom_av
Bass traps are enabling technology, but a well integrated sub requires EQ, and when it is used properly I'll take that over poorly integrated sub and "signal purity"

I'm not sure how helpful this is as I have not heard an Anthem surround sound processor.

I recently replaced my Marantz AV8801 processor (top of the Marantz line at the time) with the AV7704 (second tier).  To my ears, the AV7704 sounds as good as the AV8801 did and it does Atmos, although I don't have any height speakers at this time.  My home theater sounds as good or better than most theaters I've been to. 

I have heard the Anthem integrated and the room correction in that piece seems to work really well, but it had a "digital" sound to it that made me very aware that it was engaged.  It sounded great, but I was always aware of its presence if that makes sense.  I don't get that sense with the Marantz Audyssey room correction engaged for home theater, but I don't listen to the Marantz in two channel mode, if I did it would probably be similar.  I prefer no room correction for 2 channel listening.

When I was doing my upgrade I spoke with my local dealer and they said the Anthem room correction is better than Marantz, but they carry Anthem and don't carry Marantz, so a grain of salt must be taken.

I have a separate two channel preamp (Modwright LS 100) that I use for two channel listening.  I'm a lot more critical of the two channel aspect of my system than I am for home theater.

I should add, I have run my own 5.1 theater, using an Oppo DVD player and miniDSP.
I was able to get away with no EQ except in the center and subwoofer.

For the remaining 4 channels however I did not need it.

Good room acoustics, matched speaker designs, and bass traps absolutely helped. Would I give up my DSP for "signal purity?" Never, it was amazing.

Yes i have a hifi  room with all kinda of money in wires and hydras and power cords and cable elevators and yada yada yada, i dont want or need it in my theater, i want wow holly crap effects and clear sound and clear voices

im using dunlavy sc ivs for fronts which are tall towers,  need to find a center and the rest of the surrounds are 10 inch coaxials diy speakers.   have 2 dunlavy subs 12 inch behind listening couch and will have 2 18s up near the screen.

ive got a collection of old adcom,  and rotel amps for each surround channel and have odyssey mono amps for the LCR.  will probably get a pro grade amp for the subs right now they have about 1000 watts and could use more on the 18s.

also open to ideas on a center channel,   i think i want something with at least 2 10s in it. 

right now have it going as 5.1 with a small marantz reciever  with Land R feeding 2 amps , and its pretty good, i wanna get it closer to awesome.
will use 4 of the 10s in the ceiling for atmos same as sides and surround


it needs  dsp for sure... which model of mini dsp would be good for this setup? ,   .

concur with the above--anthem has the best room correction i've heard
