Yeah, if you’re truly just “watching TV” I’d just make whatever connection you need (as above) to what you have and be done with it. If, however, you watch movies and would like to make that significantly more entertaining without changing your 2-channel setup at all there’s an easy and relatively inexpensive way to do that as well — just depends on what you want.
Want it Incorporate video into current audio only system,
I have a rather large room which I use for watching TV and listening to music. I would like to be able to connect my smart TV to a preamp/ AV controller that could support a CD/DVD player, turntable, etc. I am not that interested in multi-channel operation but if that was the option I would not it rule it out. My primary concern is the best sound when listening to music. Current analog is Bryston pre, Levinson power, Revel speakers, Thorens turntable. Digital is Oppo 205. Considering Mac MX121/122. Is that overkill?
