Good deal on Yamaha receiver

I'm assuming you want a receiver that can play one thing inside your home and something separate on the patio. I am certainly no expert on receivers, but you probably want one that can handle multi(dual)-zones. I have an Onkyo 626 and I really like the features. I control it almost exclusively via the Android app. It is closer to $500, but it looks like you could buy the Onkyo 525 ($250) and a USB adapter ($25) to make it wireless and a bluetooth adapter as well ($38). Onkyo 525

I paid about $300 for a yamaha 671 (in 2012) that has dual zones (or 7.1 if that's your thing). Check it out.

Can also control it from an app from patio

Buy refurbished at Accessories 4 Less.

In many cases, the refurbished units look just as good as an unopened, unused A/V receiver. Same can be said for almost all of their products.

Yamaha 675 for $299

I'm always up for pushing Yamaha in a receiver thread. (I have an Aventage A-820).

my thread from this morning got no love, so I'm glad to see some people taking advantage of the deal

Sorry bro. I saw your thread and bumped this one with it since the op was looking for something with 2 zones in that price range. (And I had already mentioned the 675 model)

Altough I bought an onkyo unit (and regretted it), I later recommended and installed a 600 series Yamaha receiver for a friend and really liked it

Thanks.
