It depends on the speakers you have. Receiver and speakers should match just like couples. Me and you don't know much about audio so we find it hard. I am going to connect speakers and test them...

I thought receivers in this price range have crappy upscalers and you're better off letting the TV do the upscaling? (Unless, it's a Vizio TV which are crappy at upscaling.)

This is true. But it's also easy to fix with a couple replacement capacitors and a soldering iron. I resurrected mine about 3 years ago and it's still trucking along.

I just got the TX-NR686 from best buy for $249. Its latest firmware update also gives it eARC functionality. The only downside vs the SR494 is no 4K upscaling.

Sounds like it would work well but trust me, CEC doesn't always work right (even if everything is from the same brand). You're better off using the receiver as your "hub".

Wow, the front of this has both a 1/8" and a 1/4" headphone jack. Cool, but I need a sleeker profile. Unlike in the 1990s, today's receivers are tall boxes.
