Wilson tiny tots


Hi,

I just purchased two used Wilson tiny tots.    I do not have an amp yet.   I would like to have two channels connected to the TV.     My music, these days is through YouTube and I would love to play movie sound through the two Wilson’s.   Can you connect an amp through optical or HDMI directly to the TV then out to the speakers?   what amp do you recommend

 

I’m looking to spend $2000 or less.   As you can see I’m an amateur don’t be afraid to give a lot of detail.  
 

thanks

Only reason you buy a Wilson Audio speaker is you want to have  an audiophile experience not TV or movie experience but luckily there is a way to experience both in a fantastic way. You need to buy good integrated amplifier in your budget, a used one if your budget is tight. I can recommend Hegel 190 which is fantastic integrated with great internal DAC, you also buy a Bluesound Node as a digital server and you are in business. Bluesound Node has an EARC HDMI connection and you connect EARC to that you can hear TV output as well. Tot is very good for listening but you will be missing some base which can be achieved by adding a sub. Do not push the volume on TOTs, they are expensive to repair. Enjoy them, they are one of the best speakers money can buy.
