RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Howdy I live in an upstairs maissonnette , and am thinking of purchasing a budgety piece of audio For my tv. My bedroom setup has a pair of ceiling speakers which I love.iI have another pair in the hallway. Now here's the trickey bit: I have Cambridge audio amp and b&w bookshelf speakers in the living room. My tv is plugged into that. However, my brother keeps leaving the amp switched on and volume is not turned down before he switches off. What we were thinking of, was maybe a small Bose type system with surround effect Or more ceiling speakers and a cinema type amp. We would like to play our iPad/phone if poss too. Hoping to make purchase by weekend. Any ideas? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 how about one of these? has an aux input for your i-device and virtual surround, [url="http://www.froogle.richersounds.com/product/soundbars/philips/css2123/phil-css2123"]http://www.froogle.richersounds.com/product/soundbars/philips/css2123/phil-css2123[/url] there are more expensive options, i know that the yamaha ones are very well respected for their sound.

Pete1967 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have the Panasonic SC-BTT370 and it seems to do everything you're after.... Has an iPod/iPhone dock too and DNLA And wifi so you could easily stream music from another device... Highly recommended. There is an iPlayer app for Apple products, plus a really good one called TVCatchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 This also looks good , but I don't need DVD player,) how does tv catchup work from the app ? Does this mean that it appears on my tv and not on the phone? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Went to richer sounds yesterday , the guy there recommended a Yamaha amp/ velestion speakers . Just been to H m v and liked the look of a single Bose Bluetooth speaker. Which was impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
