Affordable Multi-zone A/V Receiver
 

Hello,

I want to be able to play different music in different areas of the house. For instance, I want to install two speakers in the backyard then have a standard 5.1 surround sound in the living room. Not sure, if I'm ready to spend the extra bucks to go up to an Atmos or DTS:X system.

Thanks in advance,

What is "affordable" in your parlance? There are 2 ways to get Zone2. One, the receiver supplies the amplifier channels, two, you have a separate amp (perhaps powered speakers). The easiest is if you have the receiver do it, for multiple reasons.

This is a nice deal for brand new from an authorized dealer:
