@jnehma1 I forgot about the optional MDC expansion modules on NAD products to give them more than a single HDMI input. That might be the ticket that avoids having to spend a day in the crawl space running extra cables through walls and includes options that won’t break the bank and keeps everything one-box simple for the wife and kids. Forgot to mention the TV is wall mounted and the audio components are staying hidden away for WAF reasons, which is why I didn’t immediately plan for option 2.
I glanced at that Lyngdorf (as well as their 2170 model) and it/they look(s) awesome. How badly our contractors end up over budget on our renovations is going to determine how much I’ll have to play with for audio gear... I fear Lyngdorf money will end up spent on bathroom tile instead for the time being, but good to know it’s out there if I’m pleasantly surprised.
@auxinputI’ll keep an eye out for that Classe.
@mahler123
That Bryston looks like an impressive option too...2 of the 3 reviews I found ended with the reviewer buying the review sample
@hudsonhawk
good to know that option hasn’t had a noticeable effect on sound quality for you. I had done the same in a setup before but was plagued by lip sync issues...admittedly a much older TV and amp, however
