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

While I understand a good deal for something can be tempting, it’s only a good deal if it’s what you really want. IMO, the WATTS are not at all the right speaker for what you’re trying to accomplish. They have minimal weight in the bass as well as NO low bass at all.They are very detailed in the midrange & high end & maybe even a bit too etched up top. They need good ancillary equipment & plenty of power to come alive & will likely not do well w/ anything less.
 

That said, they did sound great on solo acoustic music & even from another room, sounded really good! This is compared to my Vandersteens & Proac EBS’s I had back then driven by a Jadis preamp & Conrad Johnson Premier Four power amp. A friend of mine loaned the speakers to me while he was away on an extended trip for two months..

For your needs, & YouTube listening , I would think speakers from Polk, PSB, Paradigm or ELAC would be a better choice & could be driven nicely by any reasonably good DVR.
