I am currently revamping my lounge movie setup.
To that end I have a nuc for plex and a new Denon x2600h to pair with my existing 5.1 speaker setup. I took the punt because I really wanted to clean up my hdmi cables and simplify the harmony remote control for the wife!
The new amp is 7.1 so I would like to add some additional rear surround speakers, I have jumped at some monitor audio fx models to match up with my current speakers and will have them in about 10 days.
Now, I cannot run cables to them from the amp, it just isn't an option, so I need a wireless solution. I seem to have come up with the following choices, not sure if I am missing something? Input welcomed!!
1. As the amp is Heos enabled, I could get a heos amp, link to my denon amp and send the rear surround signals to it. Seems to be possible although a little bulky, good 80W per channel output though.
2. Go to the rainforest for a Marmitek Surround Anywhere 221kit, and power the speakers that way. Only 25W amplifier in the receiver though, I am concerned it may be a little too weak.
3. I was hoping to find an amphony 1800 kit, but only found it in stick in one UK place, and the site looks dodgy. Good 80W output, but rare is an understatement.
Am I missing another cost effective choice? Ideally looking to keep spend down to £150 for a solution. It must be wireless though.
