Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching

I am in the process of finishing my basement, including a room approximately 20' x 25'x that I plan to use for both TV/movie watching and audio listening.

I enjoy an occasional streaming program on HBO or Netflix and in my current TV room I have the TV connected to a set of stand-mount speakers driven by a small amp - more than use the TV speakers, but not a big 5.1 surround sound set up (something I've never been that interested in).

For the new room I am excited to finally move forward with a tube-based system (my prior years have all been SS) with speakers such as Devore O/96 (or Gibbon Super 9).  My question is, if this is the audio configuration, what to do with the TV audio?  Running TV audio through sensitive speakers like Devore doesn't seem like a good idea.  Would a speaker bar for the TV suffice?  Or is there another configuration for the TV sound that would be better.

Recommendations welcome!

This is what you do. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367
You can have TV instead of projection. You run the sound right into the amp. Simple. I watch most movies off my laptop, but regardless of source its all the same, you keep the video and the audio separate. By far the best sound you can possibly get, video or audio, for the money.

In fact when it comes to video its the best sound you can get, period.
