Home Theater Older High End vs. Current Affordable

[dwt]

(This is for a movie only theater - my music room is in a separate room.)

Home Theater Room is 31' x 12' x 8' at ends -10' at center

Should I use an existing NHT Controller - NHT Power 2 and Power 5 driving Focal Chorus 807v - cc800v - sr800v with 2 REL Q201e subs

-OR-

Emotiva Fusion 8100 to drive the Focal and REL speakers

I am struggling as to which way to go so any thoughts will be appreciated.

The only problem with older A/V controllers is they usually lack the ability to decode BRD high-res audio formats and lack things like multiple HDMI inputs, HDMI 1.4, true 1080P support, and of course it won't have 3D or 4K. But, if it suits your needs then use it.

Thanks DYohn for your good advice. I will probably use the older stuff for a couple years until 4K either becomes accepted or is a ghost like so many other things that the market place doesn't adopt. Being on the first of new components has cost me in the past (like the XSP-1 most recently).
