Hi Aidaneb.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

Just a few questions before I get started on some Quotes.

Are you looking To go Home cinema or 2 channel stereo.
While the 2 channel stereo will sound overall better of music the amp are limited to what they can do. Some will have an optical connection allowing for you to connect the TV and use the two speakers to boost the sound quality, doing away with the need for TV volume.
Stereo amps don't usually include networking feature or blue tooth etc. Their are exceptions but they are few and far between.
You can purchase blue tooth dongles and net work players to add to the stereo amp to add these features.

Using a A/V receiver will give lots more options for steaming, Bluetooth etc... This would take all your source which run to the TV (Bluray player, sky or Virgin, Games console, laptop etc..) and have one cable to the TV. This would then give the full surround sound setup.
These amps can also be run in stereo or multi channel stereo for music.

Have a look at the Following for an example:

Denon AVRX2200 paired with the Q Acoustics 3000 5.1 pack. Both get very good reviews. The AVRX2200 was 5 star reviewed in What Hifi and is packed full of features.

I hope this gives a little help to start.

Let me know what you think.
