I would like some sort of unit (amp+speakers?) that I can do the following with;

Plug my TV into it for optical out - this should carry audio out for console/computer/whatever I plug in to the TV with HDMI, right?
Bluetooth - so I can stream stuff wireless to it from my phone/iPad
Aux in - so I can plug a computer into it.

I probably only really want 2.1 channels, as the room is small.

probably not a Soundbar as TV is wall mounted and I dont think it would fit well.


Any suggestions? smile

What's your budget ?
Here's one relatively low cost option which will do optical in, analogue in and bluetooth. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Denon-DM39-Compact-BlueToo...

£340 for both..........might need to add speaker stands too.

That looks like the kind of thing I'm after, thanks! Budget £300-500 really, don't mind paying a bit extra for better quality but doesn't need to be super loud or anything as the room is small :]


Only downside from that unit is it looks like the bluetooth takes up the aux input rather than being an integrated jobby.

If you are interested, the DM39 and MX-1 combo can be got from Richer Sounds for £239 - that doesn't include the speaker cable but I think you'll probably get one for less than £100.
