I was thinking about getting an AV receiver for my mom's bedroom. But I need a suggestion for a fairly low cost AV receiver that has decent reviews.
The greater reason for the receiver is the be able to hook up a wireless headphone, add some speakers eventually, and of course, it's always better to add components to an av receiver rather than directly to a TV's hdmi ports, especially since I want to eventually buy her better speakers.
I looked up adding a sound bar, but most if not all seem to want to plug in via the audio optical port, which the TV does not have. So I have to get an AV receiver eventually. Plus I don't need one that's huge either.
I almost bought a $700 AV reciever on black friday (the cost was $299), but after cables tax and some other stuff, it was going to more than I wanted. Plus it was sized to be a promintent component in a living room, not a bedroom. Svelte is good, if not essential. Or at least, not sized to look like it's the room's main attraction after the furniture.
