Integrated Suggestions for a Garage System

Hi all,

 

Would appreciate some recommendations on revising my garage sound setup. Was running an old H&K AVR and Elacs which sounded good but want to find a more simplified solid state streaming integrated that could drive a pair of bookshelfs and perhaps a small sub (but not a requirement).

 

Goal is to keep it $1000 or under and ideally something with a reasonable footprint to hide away. WiiM has a well reviewed one and looked at the latest Bluesound Pwernode but open to options of course!

 

Thanks in advance.

I found a older NAD T760 off craigslist for like $75.  Works great fro my purpose.

Thanks all, some great suggestions. I did start thinking of a sound bar too given I have less space to work with after having the garage redone.

 

Or perhaps wait for the WiiM pro to come out, wasn't looking for a crazy setup but enjoy good music while I'm out there!

Check out the Fosi BT20A for a hundred bucks on Amazon. Has plenty of power and you can stream to it.

If you are looking for a wireless control option (e.g., smartphone controllable) the Sonos Amp could be what you would need. You could put it in another room and run a speaker wire to your garage, or find a space in the garage out of the way. It is small. 125wpc. I use one for a pair of patio speakers and another for a ceiling system in my house, and still another at an office where the amp is tucked away in the cage with my network switches and other gear. The app is well designed.
