Ok heres the deal i am trying to find a 2 channel receiver that has an optical/digital input. the reason why is because i recently got a 58s1 that only has an optical/digital audio output on it and i dont have the money to buy a 5.1 a/v receiver with all the speakers (maybe next year). i only watch tv and the sound on the tv sucks and i already have 2 regular old school fisher 100 watt floor speakers so all i am wanting to do for now anyway is hookup my new tv to a receiver to my speakers so that it is louder with bass... from what i have learned from the massive amount of reading that i have done on this site and others is that i cannot do what it is that i am wanting with a regular 5.1 receiver without having to buy a sub woofer to get my bass. any suggestions please...thanks.
