I am looking for an AV system and speakers for home cinema and listening to music.
I was looking at the SONOS 5.1 surround (Playbar, sub and 2 x Play:1s @ £1500) but then realised all the limitations regarding surround sound.
It seems that a better alternative (in terms of quality, functionality and cost) would be an AVR and separate speakers.
Richersounds recommended the Yamaha RXA660 AV receiver with DALI Zensor 1 front speakers, Dali subwoofer (E12F I think) and Dali Zensor centre speaker (Vokal I think). A total cost of £1626.
As I was about to spend £1500 on the SONOS 5.1 home theatre system, I am prepared to spend the same on an AVR and speakers.
But there are SO many options with AVRs and speakers/subs combinations I haven't got a clue what would be best.
I live in a 2 bedroom detached house and have a budget of around £1500, can anyone recommend a suitable system or advise on the Yamaha AVR and Dali speakers recommended by Richersounds ?
The system would be used for:
1 - Wireless Music: Using an iPhone 6 / Mac Book Pro / iPad etc and preferably all audio from these devices (i.e. not just iTunes) such as YouTube, Spotify etc
2 - Home cinema: 5.1, 7.1, DTS, Atmos
I am hoping to buy something over xmas or new year, depending on whether I am lucky enough to get a bonus!
