Deal Details
Denon AVR-S970H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel (90Watt X 7) AV Receiver…. $488 on Amazon. Most other places have it listed for $799. The previous model (AVR-S960H) is listed for $499 on Amazon, but can be found as low as $449. Spending an extra $40 for the latest model was a no brainer. This newer model has three 8K hdmi inputs, whereas the older model only has one.

We moved in to house where the speakers are installed in the ceiling like around 35 speakers in 12 zones. They didn't leave a stereo or receiver. Please let me know if this will help me in connecting to multiple zones? TIAPlease let me know

This one has recently been $400 several times, if you aren't in a hurry this may not be it. I'm holding out for BF deals.

Check with the former owners about how they connected it all together?

After almost 3 years to the date. My Sony str-dn1080 took a shit, and the ARC connection no longer works.

Would this be comparable? I use a 5.1.2 setup in my house

So this is a 2020 model, I bet it has the 4K/8K HDMI issue.

That's my concern. My entire reason for upgrading my receiver is for 8k passthrough and Atmos.

Depending on your needs the $100 difference may or may not be worth it.
Here is a comparison of the two.

My understanding is that the build quality of the X series is higher. Unfortunately there are no specs to speak to that

I found Audussey xt32 to make such a positive transformative impact to the sound quality, I'd suggest trying to save up for the lowest model with it (3xxx series).

Yep they really make you pay for it but it's worth it IMO for equipment that should give you many years of service. Just keep it well ventilated or better yet put an aircom fan on top.

They have various models with different exhaust directions and controls but this is a good front exhaust model:
