Is this post in the right forum? sorry if not, not too upto speed on the names of the other sub-forums.
Hi Guys,
Help needed please.
After years of having a rubbish tele, I have splashed out and got a Pioneer Kuro LX5090, unfortunately though, I'm now struggling with a sound system for it.
I was going to go down the AV receiver route and get either a Denon AVR 1909, pioneer vsx1018, Yamaha 763 or sony 2400ES and a set of separate speakers.
I wanted the AV receiver to be the “hub” for my home cinema setup and treat the tele as just a panel, running off 1 HDMI lead from the receiver,.
The receiver would pick up the signal from the PS3, XB360, SKYHD and the Wii and send it up the 1 HDMI lead to the tele.
I liked also liked the idea that the picture would be upscaled/improved aswell for when I'm watching none HD signals as I read that the receivers aswell as amplifying the sound, they also amplify the picture signal using DCDi video processing. Would I notice any difference?
However, due to the monsterous size of the AV receivers, I cannot accommodate such a large piece of equipment in my brand new oak sideboard and the missus wants all the electronics out of sight (apart from the speakers and sub box of course) when not being used. (I've already suggested sending the sideboard back and getting a different one with bigger cupboards in it, but that's not an option
Therefore, I have been forced to find another route for the sound system.
One option is that I have found the Sony HT-IS100 system, which appears to be sort of like a sub box, with a receiver built in??
Does this sony system (or other manufacturer system) offer similar features to that of the receiver setup??
I'm not too bothered about the system having massive output power like the receivers do as I live in a semi detached house and I don't want to annoy my neighbours, I just would like the connectivity and the SD picture improvements that the receivers offer.
Any suggestions? What would you do?
