Cheap A/V Receiver with A/B speaker outs AND phono


Hi,

I'm looking to set up an inexpensive AV system in my screen porch.

I'm hoping to stay in the $300 range. The hardest part is finding a receiver that has 2 features that are important to me:
1) A/B main speaker outputs (to hook up a second set of speakers for outside)
2) A Phono circuit.

I'd like to have at least 80 Watts per channel.

So far, all I've found is the JVC RX-7020VBK for about $250.

I'm surprised to see how unavailable the phono input is. I can live without A/B speaker switching by getting an external speaker switchbox.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Justin

Look into Sherwood receivers. (www.spearitsound.com) They
have a R-725 for $279 that might suit your needs. Also,
visit Sherwood's web-site for additional info. Good Luck, Bill.
