My current rig is decidedly vintage: Rogers Studio One speakers (rated 300W), NAD receiver, Arcam power amp, Technics 1200 Mk2. Nothing here newer, technology-wise than '91. But I do stream music to the receiver from iTunes via my Apple router and AirTunes. I also send two-channel sound from my TV to the receiver.
I don't have a strong interest in doing anything more than two or three-channel playback (I look at subwoofers, but value my marriage), but would like to get my receiver networked so I can stream Spotify and connect AirTunes directly. Bluetooth and other current streaming capabilities would be a plus.
So I either need an AV receiver or an additional piece of hardware that I can connect to my NAD. I don't relish needing another electrical outlet, though.
I know there are a lot of AV receivers out there, all ready to support a lot more speakers than I have. And buying one that will comfortably power the Rogers means a lot of wasted power on those unused channels. Any suggestions?
