I was looking for stereo receivers in the < 500$ mark with bass management. The only thing I could find was the pioneer SX-30
https://intl.pioneer-audiovisual.com/products/2ch_components/sx-s30/ .Unfortunately, it's priced north of CAD 600.
I think this is the cheapest "Stereo Unit" with bass management. It's also one of the most feature-rich units I have seen. It would be nice if it included another set of speaker terminals for A/B listening.
Since I am still on the hunt for a unit I have concluded that an AVR unit is the way to go since I do need digital inputs. Could anyone make a recommendation for AVR in the < 500$ mark that is half decent for listening to music? I have also noticed many AV units can bi-amp using the rear terminals as L/R mains.
I have been browsing the used market.
My current setup is Pi streamer > topping e30dac > onkyo 8020 > kef 150 > psw11 sub.
When I turn up the bass on the Onkyo unit it increases bass coming from the speakers and the sub. It gets annoying... I want to set an 80hz filter and set it and forget it.
