Just bought a house that's got speakers installed in the ceiling through out the house, with all the connections in the living room behind the TV. I'm looking for a receiver to optimize this hookup. Don't have a budget because I'm not really sure what my options are. Any suggestions on where I should start the search?

ETA: It's 6 rooms (I think, only been in there for a few days), each room has 2 speakers. I'll be hooking up the Directv box, PS4, and Roku.

Yamaha
Onkyo
Denon
Marantz

You will probably have to spend at least a few hundred bucks, if not a grand. Depends on exactly how many speakers and zones there are.

I just bought a Marantz unit that runs my HT along with a pair of speakers in kitchen and patio. Ordered it from best buy..

It has a free control app as well that works with tablets and phones.

Most receivers are only built to run a theater and one or two more zones of audio. How many rooms have speakers in the house?

I bought Onkyo TX-NR3008 (MSRP $2,099) new and it died 2 years later because BGA chip on HDMI board failed. I don't know if Onkyo has fixed this issue with recent models.

so I had to buy another one. It's the exact same model as Pioneer Elite SC-75 except having a different model number.

I had to spend money again but this one sounds even better than the $2100 Onkyo. ESS Sabre32 DAC is the game changer. It's all about the DAC.
