Hello folks, I know absolutely nothing about sound systems so some help would be very much appreciated!

 

I've currently got this tv. I have the speakers set up for 7.1 surround sound. I've been trying to figure out the most economical way to power these speakers. My first thoughts was with a HDMI audio extractor but then I realised I'd need an amplifier aswell so im not really sure what to do.

 

Im trying to spend under £200 if possible but if this is unrealistic i'm okay to go over.

 

Thanks!

The cheapest you can possibly go for 7.1 is a Sony STR-DH790.

LTT's Resident Porsche fanboy and nutjob Audiophile.

 

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)
