thanks all! This is very helpful.
To answer a prior question, I will most often be using the system for video, but don't want to sacrifice the analog audio if at all possible.
Looking for recommendations for new receiver
Hi all,
Upgrading my current setup and wanted to see if there were any recommendations on where to start my research.
I currently have a 3.1 set up (moved to NYC a few years ago and apartment doesn't accommodate having my rears - so actually using them in a bedroom instead)
I currently use a Yamaha RX - V573 purchased in 2012 new when I had no money. This has worked great for me as I use my system dual purpose to be both the 3.1 audio for my TV system but also run my phono through the receiver as it has a direct bypass for the analog audio signal that is coming from a separate pre-amp that I play for Hi-Fi sound on just the two floor standing speakers. All speakers are Klipsch Reference Series (42 models)
Looking for something that hits some of the specs below
- Supports 4k video (ideally would support 8k so I don't have to upgrade again in future, but only have 4k now)
- 5.1 minimum support (I don't know when but hopefully will move to bigger spot where I can reinstate my full surround system or expand to 7.1)
- supports hi-fi analog signals - Would be open to a unit with built in pre-amp, but would like to keep the ability to play everything analog straight through to the speakers
I'd like to keep this below $1,000 given my space limitations on driving full immersive sound experience, but ideally would be a great receiver that has room to grow with me for a few years.
Thanks for all the help and happy to answer other questions to the degree they help.
Here’s your best value IMHO. And yeah, it’s got a phono input. |
Awesome. Thanks so much @soix ! |
