Ive asked in a few threads about different tvs for a setup I intend to start near the end of the year (sooner if the lottery gods smile upon me), but now im moving on to amps. My intent is for whatever tv I get to have at least one full on up to date ( so I presume 2.1) hdmi port, amp connects to that and all my sources go into the amp and pass through.
At the moment im talking a BT youview box, hopefully soon to be updated as the newer ones come out, a sony 4k player, a ps4 although that wont be used much and potentially a Nintendo switch. IF my eventual tv doesn’t have all the streaming apps then I imagine I’ll add some device that covers what the TV doesn’t.
Apart from connectivity, must be capable of 5.1.2 sound (size of room is best suited to a pair of overheads, not 2 pairs unfortunately). The 5.1 bit is a kef5001 speaker set, overheads likely to be kef of some sort as well.
Is there an amp that suits all of this out of the box? Something with rock solid connectivity, everything can plug in without waiting for any soft/firm/hard ware updates please? Looking around the 1k mark but less if possible.
