The Teac AG980 may be just the receiver you're looking for! Coming without any surround sound processing, the AG980 costs less than similarly equipped Dolby/DTS surround sound receivers. However, you still get four stereo channels giving this Teac receiver the ability to power up to 8 speakers - a feat unheard of amongst stereo rivals! The idea here is to give 2 zones of sound with 4 speakers in each.
Use all four pairs of outputs and you'll still get a healthy 35 watts per channel. If 2 zones aren't enough, then a pre-amp output allows you to add a third - just add active speakers or another amp and speakers.
In addition to the built-in AM/FM tuner radio, with 30 presets, there is a tape loop, an MM phono input for your record deck and a further 3 line level inputs for sources such as CD, games console and TV. If all this wasn't enough, the AG980 goes further in providing a headphone socket, iPod input, full remote control and proper 4mm binding posts for ALL speakers. In short, the AG980 is not only fully equipped but equipped to a high quality standard.
With quality discrete circuitry, the Teac AG-980 provides the sort of precise yet powerful sound quality that you'd expect from the brand.
For a powerful, well equipped receiver, without the added expense of surround sound circuitry, the Teac AG-980 could be just the job! |
