I got a soundbar for my TV setup, so I moved my 2 front speakers and receiver to my PC. It's great, but for my setup, I had to put the receiver underneath my laptop and docking station. My laptop nearly overheats just watching youtube now, so I think I need to get something else. It's just too big with too much heat output.
I currently have my desktop and laptop each plugged into different inputs, and I occasionally use the headphone out on the receiver as well. So I'm looking for something with 2 inputs, headphone out, and enough power for a couple bookshelf speakers. I may connect a powered sub as well, but I can always daisy chain the sub between the amp and speakers to pick up the lows if needed (pref low power RCA input though). The inputs I'm currently using are just analog.
I could reasonably spend $100, stretch to $200. Is this possible for something decent with these inputs / outputs? What would you recommend? If I need to spend more, what would you recommend and how much would it cost?
Just starting to get ideas. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
