So I got a new 77" oled from LG. mounting on the wall was easy enough with the Sanus brackets...
..and thought I could simply slot it in and everything else could remain the same! (Monitor Audio Apex 5.1 + Yamaha RX-A2010 + Rel subwoofer R-328)
Well turns out - a 77" is hell of a lot bigger than a 50". so I had to hang it on the wall lower. fine. so now my Spectral hifi rack is too tall and wont fit under the tv (and not to forget the centre speaker is displaced too)
No problem I thought, I moved it to one side. then had to buy new front and centre speaker cables (van damme 4mm to future proof any hifi upgrades in the future)
(correct me, but a low 45cm rack with a good depth isnt exactly cheap. So I couldnt have got away from this dilemna of cable changes could I?)
Next I thought my yamaha receiver isnt 4k. the amazon firetv stick is 4k and the tv is 4k. So instead of plugging the firestick into the receiver, I thought I will plug it into the tv and then get an optical out into the receiver. well, job done right?
So my question to you all - have I got this wrong? Should I be doing some other configuration to solve this problem?
Or should I bite the bullet and buy the optical cables
Or should I indulge in a new receiver (I mean seriously?)
Or plug the firetv stick into the receiver, and run a long hdmi cable to the eARC and let the tv upscale the 1080 pic to 4k? (sounds wrong)
Btw, if the best way to do this is optical - then what brand do I get? a 4 meter cable isnt exactly cheap.
Thanks for reading and for any bright suggestions.. I am at my wits end!
