Hello,
I’m looking to purchase an audio receiver for my house. Normally I do a lot of research on anything I purchase or build but after some time on the subject, I’m quite humbled and realize that I know very little about home audio. I’ve come to this site as it’s clear there is a ton of knowledge and interest on the subject and would like to only make one purchase for a while.
What I’m looking for is the following and I’m hopeful you can help with your input/opinion:
- Hard wired system (Unless someone has input on a wireless one that can outperform)
- Receiver that can be controlled via android / kindle fire HD, this is only volume and on/off for different speakers. This could also be just on/off for specific speakers and volume be controlled through the spotify app. I need this for at least 4 zones. (Two zones in basement, one upstairs and one outside) I wouldn’t mind more, but I would like four (Eight speakers total minimum).
- Budget $500 - $1k (Not including wire or speakers)
- I like loud music, all genres
- Main speakers are decent 250w per channel
I value your input and ideas. Please let me know if there is anything I have missed.
Thanks for your time!
