Workshop receiver

450 Views 4 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  CKeeler
Hi All,
I’m new to the forum so hopefully this is the right place to ask a question about a receiver for my workshop…
I have a pair of Paradigm Monitor 9S I came by fairly cheap- $150 for the pair and a Paradigm Center channel.
I am trying to decide what receiver would be best to pair these with. I’m looking to spend as little as possible as I really just need something with AM/FM, CD and maybe Bluetooth capabilities and it’s my workshop not my main listening area. Thought about something “vintage” but that would leave out Blue tooth to use my phone as a music source.
Thanks in advance for any advice on new or older? Most definitely will be looking for pre-owned.

I've had an older Denon AVR-X1200W in my garage for years. I like that I can control it from my iPhone.

Yamaha R-S202 ($150 at BestBuy.com).
Local CL or FB marketplace will have something cheap, then adding bluetooth is < $20. Going to $50 would add a airpplay/wifi streamer, probably with spotify connect, etc
Not sure what would have a CD player built in.

I would recommend the Insignia Bluetooth stereo receiver from Best Buy, but that doesn’t seem to be offered anymore. I use one in my garage and it works great. It can get really loud too. Yamaha has a Bluetooth stereo receiver and Sony does also
