I want to power two sets of speakers, one pair in my garage and one pair out on my deck. The old receiver I have right now doesn’t allow you to turn on the A and B speakers at the same time or it would be perfect.

Not looking for high end home theater stuff here. Basically looking for AM/FM and at least one RCA aux jack in, and a minimum ability to power two sets of left/right speakers at the same time.

+1 on craigs if carnut doesn’t have what you want.

I bought mine on there, was an Onkyo DS787 for $150… retailed for $999 and bought it 3 years after it came out.  
I thought that was quite the steal. (perhaps he stole it, hm? :P)

:tup: Let me know, definitely interested.

@others… I’ve been watching CL but there haven’t been many good deals lately. My current system in my living room was actually a CL buy. 2 year old Yamaha receiver that was $400 new picked up for $75 because some guy wanted HDMI switching.
