Reciever for Martin Logan Source speakers-Two channel

What’s your budget?

Just to be clear, you want a “receiver” that has AM/FM Radio + preamp + amp in a  single box, or an “integrated” with just the preamp+amp?  The later usually offers higher fidelity.  

Also, to add to @kennyc 's question, how are you planning to connect the Samsung TV, Apple TV and Oppo?  HDMI connections?  Coax and/or optical?  Are you willing to add, or already have a separate DAC?

WiiM Amp Ultra 

Gentlemen, both great questions. I need a integrated amp. I have a Mark Levinson amp driving my Martin Logan 15A's in my Media Room, but this is just for my master bedroom so I bought some used Martin Logan Source speakers.

I will be connecting audio through a Toslink output from my Samsung Frame TV box underneath the TV.  My budget is probably only $1,500 or less. I like the value of used equipment, but open to all ideas. Thank you!  Rick in Tulsa.

Audphil1,

Does the WiiM Amp Ultra support YouTube Music Videos? That is what I watch most often.

Will the power be sufficient for the Martin Logan Source speakers?

Thanks!

This should fit the bill for your bedroom system!

Also maybe consider Wired 4 Sound Mint 

@rickguild WiiM amp ultra is 100w/ch into 8 and 200w/ch into 4 ohm. it has hdmi arc and toslink inputs. You should be ok. And with amazon return policy what’s the risk of trying it?

audphile1,

I ordered the WiiM Amp Ultra. Thank you! Rick

👍

audphile1,

WiiM does not support YouTube Music yet, which is where I watch a lot of HD concert videos.

How would you hook the WiiM up to my Frame TV and my Oppo Blu Ray player?

I would take advantage of WiiM’s HDMI ARC input. Run HDMI from your TV into WiiM. That’s the only connection you need. Your TV has ARC HDMI correct?

You would then use YouTube app on your smart tv, or firestick, or appleTV to watch YouTube and the WiiM would play it. 
If oppo has YouTube app you are set to go as well. Oppo connects to your tv via hdmi, your tv back into wiim using arc HDMI output on tv into hdmi input on wiim. 

Thank you! I will try this setup when the WiiM arrives on July 14th.

The amp ultra comes in tonight. A week early. Look forward to getting it installed.

Keep us posted. 

audphile1,

Got the WiiM Amp Ultra installed using your suggestions.

How do I pay my concert videos from a Seagate 5T hard drive? The WiiM USB port does not seem to recognize it.

Does Oppo have a usb in for external drive? How did you play this before?
