I'm sort of waving goodbye to traditional hifi for now, what with an eight month old baby, and a big enough lounge but a layout that precludes any full size speakers, also taking into consideration I've been watching more Netflix, so...
They're installing a Denon Heos Bar tomorrow - hooked up to my CA 751BD player and my telly of-course.
The Heos Bar is quite pricey and humungous, has not been reviewed yet, but I've decided to take the plunge since it's supposed to have a hifi slant, does Tidal, Spotify etc and hires including DSD, apparently gives ample bass even without a sub, can play music from phones - important especially to wife, and can play from NAS and Bluetooth. Does not do Airplay sadly, hopefully they remedy this sometime, and will soon even have an Atmos update. Also has USB for sticks etc - something Sonos lacks. Will do Alexa soon as well.
Later as funds allow I will add the wireless Heos sub and wireless and surrounds for 5.1. As it is, it's actually a 3.0 bar, so movie dialog should be good.
I still want to make the most out of my music collection, so any advice as to hooking to my tv and bluray will be kindly and much appreciated e.g. do I use ARC, do I use seperate video and audio HDMI connections from my 751BD etc.
Thank you.
