Hello and Happy New Year,
I looking for some guidance on how best to replace my current Sony STR-DN1050 receiver and potentially my front and centre speakers, precipitated by the purchase of a new Samsung Q70R TV.
My current setup consists of:
- Samsung QE49Q70R TV
- Sony STR-DN1050 receiver
- Virgin Media V6 STB
- Kef 2000.2 Eggs for front, centre, and rear surrounds
- Cambridge Audio Minx X201 sub
- Apple TV 4K
- Logitech Harmony Elite
I've already removed the Apple TV as this is now redundant with the TV.
The Samsung Universal remote seems to work well with the TV, receiver & Virgin box, so I may be making the Logitech redundant too.
I've come to realise that the Sony receiver doesn't support HDCP 2.2 so isn't dealing with 4K video from the Virgin box so I'm looking into replacing this receiver.
As my front and centre Kef eggs are being the TV I'm considering a soundbar such as the Sonos Beam but want to keep the rears and sub as they are. Otherwise I'd consider replacing the receiver with the STR-DN1080.
Can anyone provide me with their thoughts and guidance on this?
Cheers, Greg.
