I am looking for a receiver that I can hook up my powered JBL 305s to and be able to stream tidal from my phone as well as use them as tv speakers to replace an old sound bar. Will this work for those uses?
In the future I want to setup a 3.1 passive speakers for cable tv/movies while being able to switch over to powered monitors via Bluetooth for music.
Would this work for all of those things? I really wanted to stay under $300 for a receiver that has 7.1 as well as Dolby atoms enabled (for the future) with bluetooth

RareAirsIt will not work with powered speakers, and will likely not pair with any bluetooth speaker device as it is a speaker device. I don't think you will find any receiver that will do that by bluetooth. What it sounds like is you want a 2nd zone and maybe preamp outputs. This receiver doesn't have a 2nd zone and dosen't have preamp outputs.

RareAirsNo. This receiver will not do what you need. What you want is to find a receiver that has "Zone 2" pre outs to connect to your JBLs. The Onkyo TX-N575 has what you need and can be found new under $300. I actually own this and the zone 2 feature on low-mid range Onkyos are a little cumbersome to use but it works.
You should also be able to find a lot more options (Yamahas, Denons etc) online if you are willing to go refurbished.
