Advice on TV audio choices

[180583Dons]

So, I have an LG C4, and currently have Kanto Ren speakers hooked up via hdmi arc. They sound great. But, I'm getting little pops and dropouts every so often, which ruins the experience.

They'll have to be returned as faulty, probably.

But, what should I get instead? My choices at the moment are either the KEF LSX II LT, or a Wiim amp and an appropriate pair of speakers to go with.

The speakers will primarily be used for TV audio (hdmi/ optical), and the occasional music listening session.

Any advice would be very welcome, thanks.

PS - max budget is £900. The Kanto Rens were £600
