Several hours surfing and I'm nowhere close to making a decision on a new receiver. Tight budget~$1250) for receiver and speakers is holding me back--hence needing to cut any extras. Note I'm not an audiophile- just your regular ole paralysis through analysis guy, unfortunately.
My punch list:
1. quality (to an average joe) 5.1 theatre surround sound in my den. 16 by 23 ft.
2. simultaneously play different music on zone B via pandora.
3.All zones controllable from an Android/iOS app.
-Receiver will have direct ethernet connection available.
-5:1 den area will primarily be used for movie tv and sports.
-Zone b used for outside patio music
For now, here's what I plan to push but still researching...(open to others but know that's a separate forum.)
Den 5.1
Center channel polk TL3
F R & L polk rc85i
B R & L polk rc60i or 80i
Sub to be determined under $200
Outside zone b
TBD Something very basic ~around $100 for the pair. Won't ever rock 'em too loud.
Thanks alot!!
