[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/spotify-comes-to-denon-and-marantz-receivers-shares-music-via-nfc/)

Spotify didn't want to leave all the spotlight time to [phone](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/live-from-nokia-and-microsofts-windows-phone-event/) [manufacturers](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/live-from-motorolas-main-event-in-nyc/) today. To start, it's widening its toehold [in the living room](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/18/onkyo-mid-range-networking-home-theatres-flaunt-4k/): three [Denon](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Denon/) AV receivers and four [Marantz](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Marantz/) counterparts now have support for streaming Spotify Premium music through respective firmware updates, with control coming either through the on-device screen or through Denon's mobile remote app. You're not necessarily left out if you have no compatible home theater to call your own, however. As long as you have a device with at least Android 4.0, an update to the [Spotify app](http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/19/new-spotify-for-android-preview-hands-on/) will let you apply audio effects or share Premium music between NFC devices through a tap. All of the updates are free -- just know that you'll need Spotify's full $10 per month subscription to grease the wheels. Check the source links for the supported receivers and app updates.
