I own this kid: https://www.denon.com/en-au/shop/avreceiver/avr1312
I no longer use it for home theater, I am surprisingly happy with the sound bar I bought.
I have 4 Polk bookshelf speakers in 4 rooms downstairs, with a powered sub next to the Denon AVR 1312. I plug my phone into a 3.5 25' audio cable that connects in the back with RCAs. I don't listen to the radio, no turntable, no CDs, no DVR, only streaming music now. I am happy with this wired set up and would like to keep the receiver and speakers.
I'd like "cut the 3.5 cord" and use my phone anywhere in the house to control the music (SiriusXM and Amazon Music) I am a Google/Android guy, no Apple stuff please. I've tried a couple of BT adapters to the receiver; sound quality is meh and you are stuck using their interface on your phone.
I've look at Denons HEOS, again stuck using their interface on your phone. I looked at a new receiver, again stuck using their interface AND their wireless speakers should I ever want to add some in other rooms.
I'm curious to hear what others are doing. My budget is cheapo, ~$400.
Need somewhere to store all this stuff too, the Misses is getting upset...
