3 channel bluetooth/FM receiver

[bashr52]

I've got a nice set of (left, right, center) speakers leftover from an old home surround sound system I'm going to mount in the new garage. I'm looking for a cheap 3 channel option I can use to power them. Really just need something with FM capability, but Bluetooth would be a plus. Anyone know of anything that will work?

I can find multiple channel amplifiers ($$), but I really only need the 3 channels. I had an old AM/FM/record player that came with our old house setup in my last garage, that worked fine but was only the two channels.

But a 5.1 receiver and add a Bluetooth recover. That is the best option. These receivers are really cheap now.

How would you use the center channel? Most audio sources are stereo so you would need something to decide or generate the center channel sound. Your better off just using a 2 channel amp and not worrying about the center channel.

This! Look for refurbished or open box buys at Best Buy/Amazon/eBay

I just picked up a 500W 5.1 Pioneer receiver from a pawn shop for $65. I would recommend searching the pawn shops or the classifieds as many are dumping their old home units for newer wireless setups.
