Hi all, doing a remodel and, as always, its a system of compromises.
What I am looking for is a receiver that can accomplish the following:
1) 2 room support (living room and backyard)
2) Ability to use the surround speakers as stereo speakers automatically.
3) 6.1 or 7.1 surround
Thats it really, should be pretty easy but the thing I can never confirm on a receiver is item (2) which is of critical importance. I have this old Kenwood beast that forces me to bridge (gasp!) my speakers so that they 'automatically' pick up for stereo mode.
Thanks for any tips, budget is up to $699 or so and I am not an audiophile.
