i have been given some sony home theatre speakers but sadly the amp / dvd player is completely dead, speakers work very well.
i dont know a lot about amplifiers, and im struggling to find anything suitable.
it doesnt need to be massively powerful as i dont watch TV loud but would love to try 5.1 surround (never used additional speakers for the TV before) all the speakers are pretty small minus the sub, and have quite a lot of weight to them, they are all rated for 3 ohms i have a front L + R surround L + R SUB + centre, what amplifier should i be looking at to power all of these ? my htpc does have a 5.1 asus soundcard.
TL;DR - looking for as cheap* as possible 5.1 amplifier for some 3 ohm sony speakers
*i know cheap and good don't belong in the same sentence, but im not looking for the best sound i can possibly get, just something to get it up and working to try 5.1 before i splash out on a proper set, and im sure anything would be better than the in built TV speakers
