You got some suggestions for high quality AV receivers, add Marantz. You really need to work with a British vendor.What your asking for otherwise is difficult. You either want a "entry level" High End system with an integrated amp etc, or an AVR for movies.. I don't think combining them is easy as I'm sure you gathered from the various responses.
Noob, need help please
Hi there,
I have a pair of Klipsch RP-8000F floorstanding speakers.
I am a little unclear about what I need to complete my setup.
I want to use these as home theatre speakers when watching off Netflix or Satellite TV, and also as music speakers when playing off Spotify through the TV.
Do I need a pre-amp and an amp, or just an amp? What does a receiver do?
Do I need a separate DAC too or an amp with built in DAC?
I am a newbie to all of this so willing to learn, please forgive my lack of knowledge.
My budget is max 1k but then I don’t really know what I need to bring out the best in these speakers. When watching movies I like a little warmth but also like some detail. When listening to music I like a lot of bass.
I need channels to add in a sub (I have Klipsch R-12SW) and a center speaker (yet to buy but probably will get the Klipsch RP-504C) at a later stage.
If you need more information please let me know.
Many thanks in advance!

I believe one can purchase an integrated amplifier with home theater bypass. The integrated would drive the main speakers. Then one could purchase a modest audio video receiver to drive the center and surround speakers. The integrated would supply signal to the receiver via the HT output.This is how my system is setup, except instead of integrated I have Pre-Amp/Amp for two channel. The AV receiver drives center/surround speakers, and the L/R pre-outs feed my Pre-Amp. For HT pick a decent level on the pre and then use the AV receivers calibration. For home theater use, you would then use the AV Receivers volume control. |
Another option to used equipment is look for large discounts on last year model receivers. No pre-outs on this, just an indication on what savings can be had. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_033AVX2500/Denon-AVR-X2500H.html?omnews=14698183 |
