I use this setup for occasional downstairs music and to power speakers on the deck. I will mostly just be streaming from my phone/computer ... Looking for an integrated with a/b speaker outputs, at least 80 watts/channel, and possibly a better way to stream audio. I’d rather buy the best bang for the buck.There’s a Denon AVR-X4000 at Audiogon listed for $280, you can use zone 2 to power the deck speakers, and the Audyssey room calibration is a plus if your downstairs room is not acoustic treated.
New amp for streaming
Bought a wonderful pair of Fluance reference speakers for downstairs, which are currently hooked up to an old NAD T761. I use this setup for occasional downstairs music and to power speakers on the deck. I will mostly just be streaming from my phone/computer, currently being done by a bluetooth adapter.
Looking for an integrated with a/b speaker outputs, at least 80 watts/channel, and possibly a better way to stream audio. I'd rather buy the best bang for the buck. The 'real' system is upstairs(Hegel 360/Golden Ear Triton 2's).
I was considering another NAD (368 or 388, maybe Blueos), CA CXA81, or Music Fidelity 5si if I can find one. Open to other suggestions or opinions, and have no issues with used items.
