Spec me an Amp...

[Joebob]

I looking for an amp to hook up my, faithful old, bose acoustimass speakers to my PS3 and Raspberry Pi (Xmbc) so need it to have a few basic specifications.

At least 2 x HDMI in and 1 x HDMI out (sound and video).
I guess I could do without the HDMI and just connect them both via phono, but I want some half decent sound quality and the ability to use a remote to switch devices.

Can handle a pair of 5 ohms speakers - only need it to be stereo but if it takes more speakers then that's a bonus!

I have roughly £100 to spend, I know I may be looking for pre-owned at this price point.

Any help or recomendations very much appreciated.

Thanks,

you want an av receiver , NOT an amp.
but for £100 good luck with that.

Well I won a Denon AV 1909 on eBay for £100 (inc delivery!), but it's not working properly with my speakers!!!

richersounds have a denon for 100 ... don't know for sure about the 5 ohm speakers so check that, think it should be fine

Thanks, I will check that out.

What do you mean by it's not working properly with your speakers?

The unit keeps powering off and the power button flashes red. In the manual it says it will auto power down if speakers with the incorrect impedance are fitted.

yeh and thats an av receiver.
The two things are completely different - need to make sure you get your terminology right or your end up with the wrong item no matter the cost.

Ok, point taken. If I could alter the thread to title to "Spec me an AV receiver" then I would!
