I will be installing two ceiling (Kitchen) and outdoor speakers (deck) this month. I'm looking for a receiver that can power just the two indoor speakers and all 4 simultaneously.

I would like a small unit if possible to place in a cabinet and cost around $200. Anyone have any recommendations?

The speakers it will be driving are:

Polk Atruim 4 & Polk RC60i

Thanks,

    What will your sources be? If nothing exotic, then almost any older vintage receiver with speaker A and speaker B connections would do the trick. Use either one individually or most can play A & B at the same time. Must use the same source though. It would take a newer AVR to power different sources at the same time however.
    2-ch System: Parasound P/LD 2000 pre, Parasound HCA-1000 amp, Parasound T/DQ Tuner, Phase Technology PC-100 Tower speakers, Technics SL-1600 Turntable, Denon 2910 SACD/CD player, Peachtree DAC iT and X1asynchorus USB converter, HSU VTF-3 subwoofer.
