Wilson tiny tots


Hi,

I just purchased two used Wilson tiny tots.    I do not have an amp yet.   I would like to have two channels connected to the TV.     My music, these days is through YouTube and I would love to play movie sound through the two Wilson’s.   Can you connect an amp through optical or HDMI directly to the TV then out to the speakers?   what amp do you recommend

 

I’m looking to spend $2000 or less.   As you can see I’m an amateur don’t be afraid to give a lot of detail.  
 

thanks

You could start with a $70 AIYAMA A-07 and at least listen to them.
It is not a bad amp… but it is just an amp…
So one could do the TV or the CD or… just not TV and CD.
And they peddle those amps on Amazon.

Then you can listen and take your time finding something if you need it.

Many TVs will do internet and get to YouTube, and that amp will not be holding you back in SQ.
If you had some high def sound streaming source, then maybe the SQ would be better with something else. It probably would, but the speakers likely have more distortion than the amp.

So I would be more inclined to suggest the AIYAMA and a streamer running Roon or similar… but you would need some switch or pre amp to move between streamer and TV.
Really just try the amp if the TV can find a way to get itself connected to YouTube… and call it a day. (IMO)

Sadly I’m so green I don’t know if you guys are joking or not.   My TV is a QLED 86 inch with all the major connections.   I was playing music through a sound bar.   The Wilsons were a deal I couldn’t pass up.    Can I go TV direct to amp to speakers?  If yes, what amp should I use.  
 

thank you 

Do you think about Peachtree nova150 direct from the Tv by optical then to the speakers by wire.    What brand of wire is the best ?
