I want to graduate from PC speakers to a more grown-up speaker separates system. Apparently this means I need a "receiver", but all I really want to receive is analog audio in 2 and 5.1 channels. I don't need a DVD player or six HDMI inputs or Bluetooth or 1000 watts of power; I just need to give five satellites and a sub enough juice to fill a 200 sq. foot room, with a volume knob and the option of playing input from a phone or other stereo-only analog signal. If I could pull just the amplifying bits off of something like the Logitech Z506, I'd be happy. I just want the modularity so I have the option of incrementally upping my speaker game.
I'm not afraid of buying used. But I don't want to spend more than $200 or so. Also, ideally I'm looking for something small (in the general ballpark of 12 in x 12 in x 3 in).
Any recommendations, either of new products or discontinued products that I might find on eBay?
