Hey, noobie here, be gentle
Looking into getting a new 5.1 setup after christmas and was after some advice. Initially i was going to go for a Blueray 5.1 surround unit but after looking around a bit i fancy a seperate amplifier. I currently have a PS3, Wii, Sky HD box and DVD surround unit all connected to my TV. I run BR disks through the PS3 but would love the 5.1 sound from it.
I was thinking of ditching the DVD completely and just running the PS3, Wii and HD box through the amplifier and onto the TV. Is this a recommended setup? 2 Units ive seen so far (very quick searches as im at work) are these:
Sony STR-DH510 AV RECEIVER - BLACK review cheap prices STR-DH510 AV RECEIVER - BLACK Sony best buy discount online uk shop
ONKYO HT-S3305B 3D-READY 5.1CH AV RECEIVER WITH SPEAKERS - BLACK review cheap prices HT-S3305B 3D-READY 5.1CH AV RECEIVER WITH SPEAKERS - BLACK ONKYO best buy discount online uk shop
and was looking for some opinons. Both seem to have enough HDMI inputs and also a component input for the Wii but are they good enough. Budget is somewhat limited as moving house in January so not got too much free cash lying around. I know the Sony one doesnt have speakers but i can recycle my current ones if needed. The room isnt massive and no it doesnt need to have massive amounts of power.
