I have been looking around recently at upgrading our sound system but just keep finding myself floundering around google with no real point of reference or knowledge base to guide me so hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Currently have a an Onkyo CR515DAB coming through a set of Denon/ Mission SCM51's. This is mostly used whilst watching sky or running from the ps3 for dvds/bluray/gaming/playing media content from the PC.
First off - dont have a massive budget and although i am keen to get a decent set up i am definately going to be at the budget bargain end of the scale. I am also deaf in one ear so think getting a 5.1/7.1 system would be wasted on me. Just looking at getting a nice sound from 2 speakers.
My main requirements for a new amp would be :
Optical input
At least one other input for the sky box
Remote control (I'm lazy!)
Capable of running 2 sets of speakers
Preferably in silver
Plan is to save up for some new speakers for the living room then put the Denon speakers into the kitchen.
Any advice will be much appreciated
