A:AnswerDepends 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.
A:AnswerProbably. I’m using mine with Bose speakers that are nearly 25 years old and they work well together. The older speakers should be fine if they’re connected properly.
A:AnswerIt’s rated at 100 watts per side so you should be fine. My old (1980’s) Advents handle it without a problem. Though I admit I can’t remember their rating.
A:AnswerIt appears to be a push-pull class AB design. Class D would present some difficulty in a AM broadcast receiver given the RF interference they produce.
A:AnswerNo it does not...however, it does have speaker A/B selector...you can switch between the two, or use both simultaneously without splitting the power. The Bluetooth pairing was simple to use.
A:AnswerNo - this is a 2- channel receiver for left and right audio. It does have an a/b switch so it can have 2 sets of speakers wired to it.
Even if you wired a third speaker using the a/b switch and had them both playing at the same time, you could have a center speaker wired but it would be playing either left or right audio and not what a center speaker is supposed to play.
I hope this helps.
A:Answer8ohm for sure, that's standard house speaker ohmage. 4 is the standard car speaker. For my 18" MTX house subs this reciever works great pushing decent power in a constant flow for great sound.
A:AnswerAs a drummer myself, I understand what you are trying to do, but this receiver does not support Bluetooth out functions. The bluetooth is only for audio source input, for example, playing music from your phone or iPad through this receiver. It will not Bluetooth out to speakers or headphones.
