WHICH RECEIVER DO I NEED?

What's the deal with all those different terms? Don't worry we are here to help you understand. A stereo receiver is an electronic device that "receives" audio signals from various input sources (cable box, DVD player, turntables etc.) and sends it out for playback via speakers or subwoofers. However there are some differences depending on your application. Lets learn what the most popular ones are.

2 CHANNEL
STEREO RECEIVER

A 2-channel receiver is a stereo receiver that offers two amplification channels. These are usually reserved for Hi-Fi listening although most of these set-ups are designed with separate components, we will get into that later. A stereo receiver is meant for audio output only. It supports various audio inputs, which include RCA, auxiliary, and at times Bluetooth. Stereo receivers are more than just an amp, they allow you to switch different audio sources.

HOME THEATER RECEIVER

Unlike a stereo receiver that only deals with audio, an AV (audio/video) receiver is designed to accept an array of inputs, including digital optical,  HDMI, Bluetooth, etc. In simpler terms, an AV receiver can also accept video inputs and output them to a TV or projector which a stereo receiver cannot. An AV receiver is a crucial element in any home theater setup because it allows all of your audio AND video gear to work in unison. 

WHOLE HOUSE 
SPEAKER RECEIVER

When it comes to whole house audio or multi room audio most likely we will recommend a multi channel amp which may have 6 or 8 channnels. or Sonos system. However there are a few applications where we can use your home theater receiver to send audio to speakers located in other rooms of your home. This is limited to only a few speakers but maybe ideal in smaller homes and apartments depending on your preferences
