So i currently have an Onkyo 702, unfortunately it does not have HDMI which I want in a reciever as i have numerous devices that can pass video and audio through HDMI. Any recommendations, equal quality of better. Current reciever has no issues just lacks HDMI. He is my current list of equipment. Theater is set up for 6.1, should i convert to 7.1 since that seems to be the standard or stay with the same?

Go with a Pioneer SC model. Just to throw this out there, Pioneer seems to be discontinuing their non-Elite SC models. Onkyo 929 would probably work,if you want to stay with that brand. Factory refurb available at accessories4less or Amazon for under $1k.

I would suggest 7.1 as I was impressed with the additional audio detail I heard going from 5.1 to 7.1. Marantz is good and some models (as do other manufacturers do I suspect) have dual HDMI monitor out if you have a need for that.Polk Monitor 10

Jeremie, a real bargain in an excellent receiver with the top Audyssey MultEQ XT32, is the Onkyo 818 available at Accessories4less here for about $600 shipped. This is a factory refurbished unit which should be at least as reliable as a brand new one.
As to whether to use two surround speakers in back for a 7.1 setup, yes using a mode such as DPLIIx different signals are sent to each of the back surrounds to give a more complete back left and back right surround effect. -
I ended up ordering a Yamaha Aventage 1020. I wasnt sure if i wanted to go refurb or not.Receiver Yamaha 3070 *Emotiva xpa5 * Behringer iNuke 6000dsp *Monster Cable HTS 3500 -- line conditioner * Panamax 5300 * Apple 4K * Panasonic UB820 * JVC NX5 * Silver Ticket thin bezel 120”

Good choice. I have an RX-A1000 and it would take a much better/bigger investment to get me to switch."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

Now I am second guessing and thinking of getting the yamaha 3020 for 9.1 as I want to do the extra speakers up front. Or am I doing to much over kill and stick with the 1020 for 7.1.Receiver Yamaha 3070 *Emotiva xpa5 * Behringer iNuke 6000dsp *Monster Cable HTS 3500 -- line conditioner * Panamax 5300 * Apple 4K * Panasonic UB820 * JVC NX5 * Silver Ticket thin bezel 120”
