Hi
I had sold off my Denon receiver last year as I was planning to get one that supports 4k from the US. However, due to Covid it didn't happen last year and is unlikely in 2021. I am a neophyte in sound but I did enjoy watching movies and tv series on my modest ht setup.
I have a set of Boston Acoustics SoundWareXS5.1B 5.1 Speaker System (Black) speakers.
My requirement is 90-95% movies and maybe an hour of music once in a month or 2.
Source material: Amazon firestick, VU 65ut TV apps 4k streaming, HTPC NUC 4k Blurays (50-80gb), PS4 pro, some football via hotstar, seldom use my airtel stb
I am looking for a simple AV receiver to revive my HT setup. Please provide some suggestions. I got the last receiver at about 22k from the US lasted 5+ years and was just awesome. Not sure about what budget should I set, please guide me. If there are any options that have an extended warranty, will be happy to invest in that.
Some other info:
- I plan to use the same set of speakers and don't intend to upgrade them unless they fail or you tell me if it is absolutely vital
- I will have the speakers set up in a 5.1 array in my living room
- The living room is quite open, below is the floor plan of my current flat where this is going to be setup
- Unfortunately, in the current society, even though there is full power backup, the power cycles (on-off, it goes for about 2 minutes before the generator kicks in) quite a lot. I don't have an inverter but currently have APC ups for my tv/ps4 etc. How much will I need to spend on the UPS solution for the speaker+AVR setup?
- I have the wires in the speakers from my last HT setup so can use them to set it up
Pls let me know if you need any other details. I am in Bangalore.
I mostly intend to buy this from hifimart based on FMs reviews. Quite averse to reaching out to dealers offline but can do it if needed, for my love of money![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png)
