Amp for B&W 685 S2

[hybridauth_Facebook_10205810601282157]

Hello,

I'm looking for an amp that works well with B&W 685 S2 speakers. It needs to have at least bluetooth but preferably Spotify Connect / Airplay, can be connected to a TV (so integrated DAC I suppose). Is it possible to have the volume controled via another remote (for the girlfriend). My budget would be around 650£.

Already thanks!

From what you say you need and for your budget, I'd say you need to be looking at an AV receiver rather than a stereo amp.

There are a handful of stereo 'network' recievers that will do the job quite nicely facilities wise.

I am thinking Yamaha RN500 and RN301 and there may be others models from Onkyo, Pioneer etc.

Just slightly overbudget is the excellent Nad D7050, maybe you can get a deal.

How they pair with the B&Ws should be determined by listening, your preference matters here, not anyone elses.
