Home Sound System setup

maniac2000

Hi guys,

firstly sorry if this is covered elsewhere or if it's in the wrong place etc but I couldn't find anything to match my query.... I recently moved into a new house and I am in the process of setting up an entertainment system. I have a nas device in place and have apple tv linked to the tv. I am looking to install a new sound system that can do a few things like play from apple tv/tv/wirelessly if possible and importantly to have the ability to connect a device such as android phone (iphone looked after with apple tv) or ipod (via aux)

Any suggestions for a piece of kit to suit all the above... I have looked at a samsung HT-F5500 which looks good as a home cinema setup and I could route most things through the tv. I also onsidered an AV receiver and pick up speakers with it but havn't a clue where to start looking for such a thing nor do I know much about them. I have been reading online but feel im getting nowhere..

Any advice/suggestions on the above would be greatly appreciated.. even a point in the right direction

Thanks in advance!

Hi , id talk to the guys in Richer sounds , My thoughts - AV receiver that you can route everything through , Good 5.1 speaker system with a decent active sub .. Typically the all in ones just wont compete with a separate system . Look for below but a lot will depend on Budget and what space you have

You can get a bluetooth adapter to stream from any Android device and as you say the apple TV will look after Iphone etc

Hi buddy i am an AV installer 15 years in the business. If your really after a nice system build it from the ground up dont bother buying the crap in the shops its noting but pure tripe.start with a decent amp a Yamaha amp would be great then go for a 5.1setup a good centre is a must i have a jbl mr centre and it would rip the head of you on its own i then have a pair of Bose 301s for the rears a pair of jbl control 25s for the front and then a powered bin for sub . So all thats set up i then have many options for docks and inputs to make things handy . If your stuck feel free to send a message to me . Most important use 79 strand speaker cable and hide under flooring or in walls it will stand the test of time and give you no trouble at all .
