Looking for “just good enuf” for garage man cave


This might be too sophisticated a group but I’ll try anyway!

i have a 25 ft x 27 ft heated garage with cable TV. I am looking for an audio system solution for under $1000.00. Objectives are for GOOD ENUF (not great) for both TV audio and music audio in formats of CD, USB wired or BT connected audio devices, streamed music from WI-FI connection, AM/FM tuner. WILL NOT NEED FOR LP playback ….probably going to be used only 5-15 times per year … which for me rules out more elaborate solutions.

One simple solution is a decent sound bar for the TV (Bose, Samsung et al) + an all in one microsystem (lG, Sony others) that achieves the man-cave requirements listed above.

I have searched for one receiver + speaker combo but it always gets limited by either it great for TV but not music (either by TV to receiver connection or by speaker config) or VICE VERSA.

ALL ideas greatly appreciated

Yeah that’s one of the good old Realistic Receivers.  I remember it well. 

Vanatoo Transparent One Encore active speakers and source devices of your choice including Bluetooth will hit way above the cost and save space. Lots of great Modern technology applied wisely with these. Forget about old clunky midfi  stuff from years ago.
