Hey Guys,
I plan to be building myself a new system late this summer, and was looking at my sound options. In my room right now i have a pair of really good infinity speakers, but my stereo reciever is lacking. Its a AIWA 2 channel stereo reciever, without any special jacks, basically its your run of the mill $75 reciever.
Well i was looking at the new motherboards, and they all seem to have very good onboard sound (i'm not a real audiophile, and my friend has a Nvidia Nforce 3 board, and it sounded just as nice as my audigy for all i could tell) and many of them have SPDIF outs, so my plan was to sell my current stereo reciever, and buy a much more high quality one.
What I'm looking for is a reciever which i can connect my computer to with a SPDIF connector, and growth for a 5.1 speaker setup. I'm not really expecting something really high quality out of all of this, just something nice which i'll be able to keep for a long time. The price range i'm trying to stay below is 200 dollars. If you guys know anything about stereo recievers, thanks for the advice!
If you could, i'm looking for a brand name and if at all possible, model names. Thanks so much guys!
edit: the speakers i have are Infinity SM 215
