Not sure which Forum this should go in. Can somebody assist in updating the following:-
Currently I have a Panasonic P42G10B tv together with a Denon DM37 micro, Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray player and Arcaydis DM1 speakers. I have a router with BT Infinity internet next to this setup.
My Itunes library consists mainly of my own CDs ripped in Apple lossless form and available on both a Macbook Air and an Ipad Air and played through a B & W A5 speaker. I have a collection of music DVD and Blu-ray discs from which the audio is played through the Denon micro to the DM1 speakers to enhance the sound but have no enhancement of sound for normal tv programmes ( no optical connection on the Denon?). I will be replacing the TV with probably a new Samsung Smart TV.
If I keep the DM1s, which are excellent speakers (but frowned on by the Mrs because of the size on their stands!) I would wish to be able to use Airplay to play the lossless files through the the DM1s and at the same time enhance the normal tv sound. One option is presumably to replace the Denon with the Marantz CR610.
If I sell the DM1s and also decide I no longer need to listen to my music on a CD player are there any suggestions for say a suitable soundbar replacement for enhancement of the tv sound and the DVD/Blu-ray discs. Also, for the additional cost, is the B & W A7 a huge improvement over the A5 or are there better wireless speakers available?
Any advice welcomed by this non-audiophile pensioner.
Thanks
