Depends on how much you want to spend and what you are looking for. This receiver is great for driving a pair of speakers. I mainly use it to connect my phone as a source of music. But you can connect a CD player, ipod (w/rca plugs), etc (all analog). But none of the connections are digital except for Bluetooth. This receiver with a pair of quality speakers will outperform any Bluetooth speaker out there...but you will be limited if you want this to grow in the future. Its limited to only a pair of speakers. Figure the price of the receiver ($150) plus a quality pair of speakers (approx $200-$300 pair), plus speaker wire ($50) and your in it for $400-$500...it will sound super good...but still an entry very limited system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It sounds like your smartphone is Bluetooth transmitting its music library to a Bluetooth receiving Sony SRS X77 speakers. So why would you need this receiver? Now, if you eliminate your Bluetooth speakers and invest in a decent set of hardwired speakers then you will get a vast improvement in sound quality. Bluetooth is only a convenience feature meant to connect sound between portable devices. The technical specifications for bluetooth are nowhere near the standards of a high quality sound system - it barely exceeds the sound quality of AM Talk Radio.
