Hi, please don't laugh! I need your advice on an amp, most likely the ceiling is 600 dollars.
I have 6 total speakers that are scattered around my house. Two in the living room ( Infinity Reference 2000.4, 8ohm), two in the kitchen ( Bose 201 Series II, 8ohm .... laugh), and two outside ( KLH, who knows the model, just outdoor speaks) . I need a new amp, currently I'm using a no-named ghetto amp from walmart, like 60 dollars, you know the one you get in college.
What I need out of this amp is:
- possibility to turn on and off the outside speakers, with A / B speaker button, so I don't drive the neighbors crazy all the time
- drive the speakers sufficiently
- hook up my xbox to and use xbox media center, etc ...
- possibility for more speakers down the line, maybe a total of 8?
- possibility in the future to use as home theatre receiver for dolby 7.1 someday
As you can see, at the moment my needs for the amp are for listening to music throughout my house at reasonable volumes. For entertaining, kicking back outside in the yard bbq'n, or eating dinner in the kitchen. Some day, possibly get a home theatre system goin....
Thanks so much for your advice!!!
