Hi, new here and need some advice
Looking to update my system to make better use of what i've got and eliminate the need for some cables and switches and hopefully get a better overall sound.
Currently i've got a PC which I use for gaming and media, PS3 again gaming and media (a lot of blu-ray and avi streaming) and a NAS starage device which contains a lot of audio and video that I stream to both PC and PS3 and an older JVC 5.1 surround DVD system that both the PC and PS3 are connected to via optical through a manual selector swith. Both devices are connected to a samsung 23" LCD panel via another manual selector switch.
I'm looking for a new 5.1 surround system to replace the JVC with 2 hdmi inputs for the PC and PS3 to connect through to give me 5.1 sound from both. I'd also like it to be dlna capable for the NAS and have it be able to play mkv (which the PS3 won't do
) so that I don't have to have my noisey PC on to watch mkv playback.
I looked at the Samsung HT-C6500 which has everything I want but is too rich for me, i'd like something about the £250-£300 mark.
Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
