Reddit reviews Sony STRDH590 5.2-ch Surround Sound Home Theater Receiver: 4K HDR AV Receiver with Bluetooth,Black

If you're going for a 3.0 you'll need an AVR. That will eat half of the budget straight away and will narrow down the speaker choices. Lets take a look at an setup for you.

AVR - You need this to power the speakers.

• Sony STRDH590 $180 - Entry level AVR that is very budget friendly. For a simple 3.0 this guy should do fine.
  
  Speakers - Since you're going for a 3.0 (no sub) you'll want some speakers that go pretty low especially if you're using this in an HT roll.
  
  
• BIC DV62 $120 + DV62CLRS $100 - These are pretty big so make sure you have space for them. However, you will get a decent low end.
  
• Pioneer BS-22 $120 + Center $100 - These are a favorite entry level speaker. They are smaller than the BIC's but are still a decent sized speaker.
  
• Micca OoO $100 + Center $60 - These are new and I haven't heard them. However, they seem small but are said to deliver decent bass. I happen to like the CLR setup with the d'appololito design.
  
• Micca RB42 $150 + Center $100 - These are small but give great low end. However, they are hard to drive so these are not for a large room or high volumes if you like to crank it up. However, if you're not wanting a sub and you have to get small speakers these are an option. Yes this will push the budget a bit too.
  
  You will also need some speaker wire and should consider some stands for the mains to sit on. However, you can get those at a later date.

Yea those speakers are perfect for what you want. A Bic f12 is a good start for a home theater subwoofer. I think Sony has a solid 5.2 receiver on sale on Amazon right now too. After cables and stands, you should end up with money left in your budget too, which is a good thing. IMO diminishing return is huge for home theater speakers, so there's no upside in paying for more than this setup.

I found a interesting deal on this AVR. I think it is too much power for a bedroom, but a really nice price for what it is.

Just bought 100watt 6 ohm Sony speakers. I have a 4 ohm subwoofer I want to use.

Which of these receivers would you recommend and why?

This is going into my garage just for the purpose of streaming music via Spotify and playing CDs

Yamaha or Sony?

I need a help with the setup of my new home theater + Audio speakers.

​

I have a TV with multiple input devices "PS4/ Sattellite reciever/ Laptop/ Chromecast" the TV only supports 2 inputs but this not the only issue but one with ARC "still not very sure how thats work".

​

I want some sort of device that it can accept multiple HDMI inputs "HDMI switch maybe?" and the same device will direct any active input device audio to chosen speaker, for example if I have chosen the 5.1 speakers, any device I turn on, ps4, laptop..etc directly it should play the audio through the 5.1.

​

if I changed the audio output for example the TV or headphone output, again everything should moved seamlessly.

​

I also need the device if possible to support Bluetooth, if I have a Bluetooth headphones and I do currently have the Sony MX2, it can stream all audio input to my Bluetooth headphones.

​

and Also I want that device to accept Bluetooth streaming, in case I don't want to turn on the TV and I just want to play music from my phone. "I bought a dedicated smartphone just to make it as Bluetooth streamer"

​

Now, I did find only one solution which is Sony

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078WG7HZY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

apparently it does all of that, but still unsure.

​

So my question is, is this is bad idea to have a device does everything? and if its good idea, do you recommend any good solution maybe better than sony? because I did googled but couldn't find any better option then Sony other were Chinese with weird brands. maybe you have worked with better solution and could enlighten me.

​

sorry for the long post, I appreciate all kind of help :)

Here is the 5.2, and right here is the 7.2.

I used to have a Sony STR-DH550 receiver, pretty decent I might say. You may find the replacement (DH590) for around $225 at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Sony-STRDH590-multi-channel-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B078WG7HZY/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_23_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=N1MMA6GY48RP5W0NMBYJ)
