Looking for a network rcvr with phono inputs and both A&B front speaker outputs. This is for a friend at work. Guy is around 50, married, just moved into a new home pre-wired for 5 ceiling speakers. He has held onto a 80's Onkyo rack system with big floor standing speakers. He knows nothing about audio but is willing to learn just enough....I've helped him out a few times getting what he has set up to where he likes it. Now he wants to downsize his system somewhat. I've let him know the benefits of a network receiver. he wants to use his phone to create lists / play songs via various wifi network and music apps. he wants to keep his turntable, cassette deck and cd player. With a network rcvr he can get rid of his tuner, amp and preamp. He does not care about any video features. He does not own a TV. But he thinks it would be good to use the 5 ceiling connections for speakers and still use his big onkyo rack system speakers. I'm trying to steer him in a 2-channel direction with a sophisticated network rcvr or even a 5.1 network rcvr with an A & B fronts.
