Any know about hi fi?
 

Need something of basic quality to play my TV/DVD through and Ipod/Itunes.

What should I get? Just for a small room.

Ive got a surround sound system in the living room, 4 speakers in each corner and a main speaker with the amp near the tv, its connected to the tv but its also got blue tooth, so i can play music from my ipod or ipad wirelessly cost £99 with postage from ebay.

Is title intended as an actual sentence :lol1:

I would spend £60 - £80 and buy a second hand midi unit. I bought a cracking Aiwa system for £40 and an equivalent new one was best part of £300. Yeah I know you take a chance but plenty out there.

Cue Ali B :D

Ali doesn't like the words "basic quality". And anyway life's too short for an Ali B thesis :)

Assuming Tv is for suround or 3.1 audio, then a Onkyo network reciever is about as hi-fi you'll get for average money.

Just add speakers and onkyo ipod dock (although it'll work without a dock via USB)

And find somewhere to place the thing, as they are huge.

Otherwise its one of those form over function all-in one box or mini-hifi things that I don't care much for. ;)


There you go...got that done in four lines :razz:

:eek: I`m disappointed :lol1:

Do I need an amp?

How many watts has it got?

The network reciever is the amp/decoder.

Will steam stuff (music/video) over a Wifi network from a local computer/NAS, or stream on demand stuff from the internet (youtube, internet radio, BBC iPlayer etc). Its controllable via an iphone/ipad app.

It will amplify and decode signals to output either 2, 3 or 5 channels depending on how many speakers you wish to connect to it (Onkyo amps have 5.1 channels, but will work fine with fine two or three speakers connected).

Power for a Onkyo tx-nr414 is about 100 "retail" watts per channel, which is probably around 50-60 "real world watts" (i.e 60watts with 8ohm load at 0.01% distortion, all channels driven).

If you're not interested in the network/streaming capeabilty then a humdrum AV reciever will do the job for about £70-80 less, such as the Onkyo tx-SR313, however probably could get a similar spec unit from Sony or Pioneer for less money.
