If you and your son enjoy a 5.1 setup and you already have the speakers for it (well, apart from the currently non-functioning sub), then go ahead an pick up an AV receiver - something like the AVRX-1500 would be perfect. If you start getting more serious about listening to music (it's a slippery slope), then you could think about an integrated amp down the road. In the meantime, maybe consider buying an AVR with pre-outs that would allow you to connect an outboard power amplifier - this would offer additional expandability/flexibility.
Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions?
Starting out with Building my new Surround "Movie & Ps4 set up" we currently have a Bose Cineamate-series 2 Surround System. Subwoofer is not Currently working after 5 years of use
I have a 1080p Samsung Tv & watch Dvd's & Blue-rays. 1080p is fine for me & 5.1 Speaker Set-up. I am just Watch Di Movies & Netflix,Ps4 games. Wanting to not spend more Than $400 on the Receiver ...its doesn't have to have all bells & whistles. wanting at least 70 watt per channel & later if your able to Suggest Reliable & Durable ---Fronts,center, back surround speakers. I'm a Single Father me & 10 yr old son love to feel our movies & games.
