Seriously check out /r/hometheater

But be warned, that place can be dangerous.

Here is my current set up:

AVR : Sony 7.2

Center : Klipsch RP-250C

Fronts : Klipsch R-14M

Rears : Klipsch R-14S

Sub : Bic America 12

I deff spent less than $1000 and I love my set up. One thing that saved me a lot of money was buying open box on Ebay from an authorized seller. The other nice thing about piecing it together like this is that you can very easily upgrade one set of speakers over time.

I've used several amp with my Q100's playing around. They aren't that hard to drive but if you want the best sound out of them you need to give them some power. The amp you linked would do fine but here are some others that I would consider.

  1. SMSL Q5 pro $135 - Optical input and sub out make this a nice 2.1 capable amplifier.

  2. SMSL SA50+ $90 - This guy surprised me it pushed the speakers well and has some nice features for such a small amplifier.

  3. Insignia STR514 $100 - Full sized receiver with more power and bluetooth.

  4. Denon S530 refurb $145 - Entry level AVR. This is the way I would go if you have space because you will get expandability, auto setup/room correction, bass management and all the digital inputs you would want.

  5. Sony STDRH 770 $200 - cheap 7.2 AVR that bring binding posts and a few other features.

    There are others I just picked a handful to give you an idea.

I still noticed some pretty bad color banding when they were showing the dawn sky and I'm on an LG OLED. I figured it was an issue with the feed but maybe I should be doing something different in settings or layout.

XBox One S for the streaming device because the native TV app wasn't great, and passed through a Sony 7.2 Channel Home Theater 4K AV Receiver (STRDH770). the TV is a 65" LG B7

I have other issues with Amazon streams though (like sound going badly out of sync) so figured they were just sub-par in general compared to Netflix and Hulu which run perfectly all the time.

Turntable is Technics SL1200 MKII with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. It's fed into a Schiit Mani preamp. I used to use an Art DJPre II and to be honest I kind of miss it. The sound is pretty similar and sometimes the Mani will bring in this muffled sound and I'll have to restart it. But the Mani looks better and doesn't have a blinding blue LED, at least. The preamp is fed into a Sony home theatre receiver which outputs into a pair of KEF Q100s which sound good enough for my ears.

I have the 225's too and I like my [Sony STRDH770] (https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Channel-Theater-Receiver-STRDH770/dp/B01BV7SO8U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511967553&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+770+receiver). It's okay for the price. But you might be able to get something better for similar price if there are any black friday deals still floating around.

It's okay to get a 5.1/ 7.1 surround receiver for stereo speakers for now. It's good to have the option of adding surround speakers and a subwoofer in the future.

A Sony STR-DH770.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BV7SO8U/

The Amazon page says it supports 4k HDCP 2.2 at 4:4:4. I've played around with the settings but can't find a toggle to alter the HDMI ports so I figured it's set at the highest by default. But I'll play with it some more after I get off work.

So are my games going to look degraded with 420 instead of 422?

start with buying this. Very good avr. It is on sale : https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Channel-Theater-Receiver-STRDH770/dp/B01BV7SO8U : 200

Then get this subwoofer. https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-YSTSW216BL-YST-SW216BL-Subwoofer/dp/B000FJ89UO/?tag=aboutcom02lifewire-20&ascsubtag=4066815%7Cencrypted.google.com%7C%7C%7C66%2C21%2C83%2C27%2C3%2C30%2C80%2C10%7C1%7C
Its cheap and good. I tried the Dayton sub and it sounded anemic : 200

This should leave you with about 500$ left. Now go on Craigslist and buy some rich dudes surround speakers for 400$. Make sure they are 2 floor standing speakers and 2 bookshelf for mounting on walls in the back. Not important but if they have a center speaker take that also. Buying new speakers are nice but you can get away with buying used speakers. Make sure you ask the seller if you can listen to them first before handing money over. Make sure all speakers are working by getting up close and listing to each speaker. : 400$

This should leave you with about 100 left to buy speaker wires and banana clips on amazon to hook up your speakers and subwoofer. You should have some money left over to buy any kind of cable management to hide cables snaking everywhere.

Down the road, if you want to upgrade, go on CL and look for better speakers from rich people who just wants to dump their speakers after upgrading to some Kef's R500 series.

Hope this helps.

It should be Good if all channels/functions work

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Channel-Theater-Receiver-STRDH770/dp/B01BV7SO8U

Prices add up to $90. Receiver is worth that if it works. So even if all the speakers are trash it’s not a bad deal

Depending on your budget, we use a lot of these at work and they're super reliable and crazy cheap for the quality. No BT or Wifi, but you can get a BT adapter/dongle that uses RCA outputs separately (or use your Apple TV to airplay). It supports CEC which means if you have a relatively recent TV or game console, it should power everything on and switch inputs for you, which is kinda neat (when it works). I also like that all the speaker posts accept banana plugs and it can run two subwoofers. This upgrade has BT built in and more output if you wanna roll 7.2 and lastly this is the model I got my dad last year, it's packs in built in Airplay streaming, and supports spotify connect which is kinda awesome.

Don't get me wrong, I like Denon and Yamaha too. I personally have a Yamaha receiver from over 10 years ago that's still kicking (my TV has enough inputs and optical audio out that I don't need to replace it yet). My dad's old Sony before that new monster was about 20 years old and also still worked great.

Enjoy the new gear. You'll find tons of reviews on AVSforum.com and I would check Crutchfield or Amazon too. Like cars, bicycles, and TVs, AVRs get refreshed every year so "last year's" models are usually discounted despite having very few differences between them.
