Ah yes, but how do I get my TV volume to adjust using the TV remote? All mine does is turn the TV speakers up and down - the line out volume remains fixed.

Budget is about £500 for an amp, or £600 if it's for active speakers. Do the audio engines have seperate volume for each source?

thanks, The_Lhc, but sound quality is secondary. Still important, but I want to keep the Sonos output variable so that all music can be controlled from the Sonos controller on its own. This is a childrens room, so Sonos on a Nexus 7 for music (no mucking about with amp). When they want to...

The ZP80 is the player without the amp. Basically just a source like a CD player.

Thanks, hoopsontoast, but then how would I get the sound from the TV to the speakers? (I know I Sonos has an input source, but then it gets tricky - switch on the TV with a remote, then open the Sonos app on a tbelt or PC and set the right source in the right room - this is to be used by...

Thanks, bigboss - I'll look into those. Doesn't standby mean 'off using the remote' though, rather than on but not playing anything? In terms of fixed/variable volume, what I mean is when you press Up onr down on the Sonos volume control, the output to the amp varies. So to control the volume...

Hello, I am creating a small audio and TV set-up in a small room. All the kit is going on a small rack with a closed front and sides, alongside a NAS (which runs hot) and a compact DVD player (to be decided, but it will be very cheap), so space is at a premium. I am therefore looking for a...

Okay, I think I'm going to go for the Radius 90s. Somebody stop me if I'm making a mistake!

Or should I stretch to more expensive speakers (still gloss white)? I'm just concerned that the 90s or 2020s may get lost in the space.

Hi, I need glossy white bookshelf speakers on a budget. (And yes, I was looking for speakers less than 20cm wide only a few weeks ago - the thing is we decided on a different room layout, so we're having to rethink.) I've seen some used Monitor Audio Radius 90 (not the HD ones) for about the...

I'm happy to go on ebay to get older stuff that fits the bill. The problem is older stuff is often ugly, and I don't really know what I'm looking at. Thinking about it, how much do you think I could sell an MF X10 amp, Tannoy F1s and Soundstyle Z2 stands for on ebay? Then add £500 or £600 on...

JohnDuncan, do you work for whathifi.com? I thought you were a 'normal' person. Oh, and if the speakers were pretty, that would be a bonus.

Thanks - so much, so fast! They'll be used for everything really - just not at ear-splitting volumes. The TV will run through them, but we're not movie-buffs, so this is secondary. Main use is Sonos. My wife listens to classical music in the background, as well as things like Joan Baez...

Do they exist? I'm trying to fit them between furniture. They'll have a wall behind them, a wall on one side, and a TV on the other. Can be either floorstanders or on stands (as long as they're less than 20cm wide too!). Like to keep the price around £300 if possible. Oh, and the room is...

Hi, We're moving house, and it's finally time for the trusty 28" JVC CRT to go. It's just too deep. We have a budget of between £500 and £800, and think a 37" or 40" will go nicely. The thing is while we are not serious TV watchers, we've found 'flat-screen' images just didn't look as good...
