@HiFi Guy SR680- looks to be mostly a home entertainment rig, but it’s got the right I/O to work for my sound system. gonna give it a shot and see how it goes. will report back!
I have the SR580 which I run my Pro-ject to. It's a great receiver. Got it back in 1998 and it's still going strong. That price is amazing, assuming it's in working order. If it has preouts, you can run amps to it. I do that with a couple of monoblock Marantz THX amps.
it seems to be working (turns on, response to all buttons), but there are more ports on the back than i’ve ever seen on a home unit lol. i don’t have the time to mess with it tonight because i have an early flight. hopefully early next week.
