My parents are building their new house, and my mom said she’d like speakers in the dining room/main area. I’m thinking of using 2 of my still in the box Sonance MAG6R + Enclosures that I don’t want anymore and wiring them in the ceiling. The question now is what Streamer/Amp do I use? The WiiM Amp is currently on sale for $240. Is there a cheaper option that can still output ~50w/ch? Or do I go with a cheap AVR and maybe tie it in with the TV they will be putting in there? We don’t need the highest audio quality for this application. AirPlay and Chromecast are my main goals.
 
For a 2-channel system like that the Wiim Amp should be perfect, I think. I mean you certainly could find cheaper. The Aiyama A07, for example. But you certainly won't get the same combination of performance and built-in streamer functionality (along with some nice DSP/room correction options) that you get with the Wiim Amp.
