Hi all
We've moved into our new house and I'm looking at setting up our surround sound. A problem is (1) the space isn't huge for a receiver and (2) my old Denon AVR-x2000 can't do 4K passthrough (pre-dates HDCP 2.2) which will limit capability of new TV. Hence, I'm after a new receiver.
Is there an obvious choice in the same sort of category (£280ish in 2014), which will be used for PS4 as bluray and BT Sport UHD? I'll be playing my record deck (rega P1 plus - so can use line-in so no phono stage required) and would like ability to stream tidal (either directly or through app on phone) - not expecting amazing sound in stereo/2.1 mode but something reasonably lively would be preferred.
Any advice on decent receivers to consider would be much appreciated - I'll also be considering some new front speakers as previous bookshelf speakers may be too large, and the Boston Acoustics 5.1 speakers are probably too underpowered for 2 channel, any recommendations for a decent set of compact speakers appreciated - ideally, almost satellite size.
Bit of an ask, but any advice gratefully received.
