I was looking for a multi channel amplifier for my home theatre setup as my primary driver is htpc with sound card and HDMI directly routed to projector. I see all multi channel amplifiers are way out of my budget. Then I was looking for AV receivers ( those less than 40k), but I don't see any entry level or infact a high price av receiver ( < 100k) doesn't have multi channel analog audio inputs. I see only Marantz SR series has those and few high range Yamaha aventage series. Is there any other cheaper AV receiver has Analog inputs.
Or is it better to go DIY route to make amp with suitable chip for each channel?
