Most TV's have audio outputs. You can just go from the out on the TV to one of the inputs on your pre/integrated. You'll still be able to bypass the speaker on your TV.
It does have a SPDIF out, but that's the only output. I suppose I can get a sort of converter for that... I'll continue to look into it.
I'm currently using a pair of Dared VP-20 mono amps. They only allow for a single input and only produce 18 watts each; probably not for you. Hopefully some other owners of these products will chime in.
How is that 18W working for you?
Pretty much as low as you want. The 1C's are very easy to drive.
Yeah, I had no problem with the 1Bs on the 35W the NAD 304 produced. I'm just wondering how low I can go... like below 20? It's a relatively small room, 11'9"x14'4.5", though it is partially open into a rather small kitchen/dining area.
I'm looking at some Yaquin integrated amps that seem nice.
