AV, Speakers & TV - before I click buy..help!

[alexx]

Just about to click buy - had a chat with a few guys and it's been narrowed down to:

Dali Zensor 3
Yamaha RXV679
Samsung ue48h6400


Seem's the best bang for buck.. just contemplating if I need the av receiver though of if an amp for a similar budget would be much better... I only watch tv/films via hdmi (laptop) anyway and the only other feature I want is airplay or spotify streaming which I think a normal amp would be very capable of.

thanks!

Have the same amp and can't recommend it highly enough, it's been absolutely superb. If you can get it for around £350, which is usually the case from Richer Sounds then you won't get better for the money

Have you investigated the vtuner app much, I am interested in an 'amp' that would give access to internet radio stations without having to connect a pc, which this seems to.
Per this review a vtuner app is available, it does not say what subscription costs , does say that bbc channels were not supported, as of article, r6/4/3 have some good quality material now, but may not be a concern for you.
The Android/Apple remote apps look nice too.
I assume parametric equalization includes frequency analysis too (did not download user guide)
