I have a flat as well and love my B&W 702 S2’s and Naim Uniti Star for audio that I recently got. The hi-res streaming is far better than I thought. It is incredible!! I rarely go passed 40-55% on the volume. I was afraid of the “low” wattage of the Star but Naim wattage is far different than other companies. I was considering the Bel Canto all-in-one but I found a good deal on a barely used Star and am so glad I went with it. I plan on adding the b@w soundbar and subwoofer for my LG OLED tv.
confused and don't know what to do
We would like to buy a nice audio system and also have this double as a surround sound but listening to music is the priority. We have listened to many speakers but have settled on the B&W 804's. Now the challenge is to select a receiver and all the other accompaniments we require. We have a little challenge in that our home is a condo and the outside wall is all glass. The space is combined kitchen, living room, and dining room all open with hardwood floors and hard tile on the walls of the kitchen and a lot of granite counter tops. It seems that every where we go, the recommendations are different depending on what the store is selling and of course, the sales people would like us to buy the most expensive. What would give great sound without going crazy. We are thinking about 2 tribe sub woofers and space is limited and an in wall center B&W speaker but we don't know what we are doing and don't want to throw our money away. Help! Too many choices and we don't have enough knowledge. Thank you so much.

one way or another for HT you need some kind of surround sound processor . for further expansion (if you need ) make sure that your surround sound unit (receiver ) has surround preamp line outputs to connect better amps . something like this .

Hey based on your room constraints 3.1?? My AV pre amp has a dedicated balanced in for two channel and I can set it for direct. My 5 channel amp has two internal power supplies one for two channel and the other one drives the remaining three channels. Is the music quality super top notch, no but pretty darn close |
There is another option if your budget is tight and same with your room size. You want 2 channels and 5.1.4 3D for video and bass to 30Hz. An option is the new Sennheiser AMBEO soundbar. Read the reviews. It’s a great bit of kit and covers all you are looking for without all the separate components and wires. No point in me telling you all the specifications but it has everything to start off with. |
