I ended up going this route but I bought the Onkyo rz30. They go on sale regularly for $750. It did take some tweaking to get 120 passed through to the Xbox series x, but that’s about it.

Going from a sound bar to real speakers is pretty nice. I’ve spent the last year buying klippisch to series speakers on sale. Definitely not something to do on a small budget, but the sound is great.

I’ve just got a set of Harmon Kardon 5.1 on mine. I think that one I got is technically 7.1 and I’ll do that eventually but my speakers were pricey and still really good. Guess I could buy another satellite set. I also have an awkward geometry I’m working in which would probably mean some drywall to make it look good. Right now I have hidden cable guides.I ended up going this route but I bought the Onkyo rz30. They go on sale regularly for $750.

I looked at the Onkyo too. I used an Onkyo for a long time before 4k etc showed up.

I use this splitter on an OLED tv that only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. Works without issue for my PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, Switch 2, and PC.

I use the Pioneer Elite version of that Onkyo. It's a great receiver and well worth the money if you need its features. The Onkyo version is the only option left though, since PAC dropped Pioneer after all the bankruptcy stuff was done and unless you buy used it's almost impossible to find Integra receivers other than the ultra high end these days too.
That said, anyone looking for a budget receiver or just something for a small room, take a look at the Yamaha RX-V4A. Can't beat it for the price (~$425 from Amazon or Best Buy) if all you need is 5.2 surround at most. Plus it supports wireless speakers for the rear channel if you don't feel like running speaker wire all over your room.

I looked at Denon, Onkyo and Yamaha models at the same price point and they all looked good, and had good reviews. I chose the Onkyo because it included Dirac basic with the unit(they offer to sell the sub module for 300ish). I’ve used it every time I add speakers, without the sub module, and it’s been good enough for me.
Right I have a 5.1.2 atmos speaker setup, but once I get the rear surrounds on my list, it’s I’ll be at 7.1.2, which is my goal.
