All one on surround sound systems

[djknight88]

Hello.

I have been trying to find a Sony surround sound all in one system to replace my current Sony one, my current one has 3 hdmi in, I would like really to have more than 3 but definitely no less. I can't seem to find any other systems with this, mostly they seem to have only 1 out and none in, can any one point me in the direction of a suitable system if possible.

Thanks

Your welcome

Personally I like AV Receivers over All in ones. It gives far better flexability.

I have the STR-DH820 (and love it), the DN840 is the newer model.

Ohms.  DN840 is rated at 6ohms.  DONT use speakers rated less (ie 4), but can use 8ohms fine.

Watts. Unless you intend to cranck the volume to maximum, or intend on el-cheapo speakers - dont worry too much.  Try and match up as best as possible though, as if your speakers are to low, and you crank the volume, you will blow the speakers

I good indicator is this : if the AV receiver costs X amount, spend the same on a 5.1 speaker package.  Add 10 percent extra for better cables/extras. 

Amazon is a good source for reviews as well.

And as always, research everything thoroughly before purchasing anything.  Google

I'm not to worried about being that loud, just good enough experience for cinematic type films and gaming.

I was looking at Sony speakers but I had no idea which ones would go with the receiver not to mention some of them were very very expensive 😛

Yes, you have correctly identified a flaw in Sony's range at the moment.  They no longer do a speaker package (or affordable ones at that).  Im hoping that Sony correct that at some stage.  I say speaker packages, because they are generally the most affordable way of doing things (when on a budget and require AV Receiver)

The best thing to do, in my oppinion, is search for "5.1 speaker package" on Amazon. 

A couple of suggestions to start with:

• Harman Kardon HKTS 20BQ
  
• Tannoy's HTS101

Other forum members may have another suggestion or example.

I'll give that a go on Amazon, I googled it but have had trouble trying to find a package rather than buying each one separate at some really high prices.
