The Sony radio is a MEX-XB100BT from Best Buy. They have a high-powered (80 watt I think) version but for $110 this was a bargain. It does bluetooth perfectly and with the Sony SongPal app it lets everything coming from the iPad play through (still trying with movies though). So I can have Waze navigating and listen to Pandora, SiriusXM (have to put the antenna outside), GoogleMusic, iTunes, etc. so we can listen to just about anything while driving or sitting. It sounds good when driving with the speaker setup we have (3 up front and two in the kitchen living room area) but when parked it sounds odd because the bass all comes from the back and treble/mid from the front (like a car system). I will play with that this week and try to get it separated better. I think I am going to forget about the big stereo amp because I can run TV through the radio system when I add the TV up front. Having two TVs with different games on would drive my wife nuts! I like NFL game rewind, we can catch up on all the games we missed while traveling. Probably going to break down and get a dish ordered this week for Dish Network (might go with DTV for NFL ticket)... I am thinking about getting the 4k OLED 55" LG TV instead of the 1080p version so I can use it as a computer monitor when needed. I bought a 4K Samsung 28" monitor last week and it was absolutely gorgeous but it is just too much for now (maybe later I'll get another one) so I returned it.
