Gambit: @mspec that would've been great thanks but not to be sadly.I see AV world has a couple of good deals on Pioneers at the moment but will hold off for a while and put up with tiny tv speakers:(
I'm thinking of possibly selling the amp just to get something for it as someone who knows what they're doing could get a great deal when its repaired.
Be a shame to chuck it in the wheelie bin.

 

 

 

Maybe change the direction of your thinking, We had the full AV setup in our lounge and one night a massive power surge fried it and our tv. 

 

Upgraded the TV to a new OLED (my god what an amazing upgrade) , but instead of an amp setup I got a really decent sound bar. Could not go back to an AV setup now the simplicity of the sound bar is fantastic and the sound is so much better than I would ever thought a sound bar could be. Would be worth a look just going in and checking some out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which soundbar did you get? A few years ago, when I was looking, soundbars definitely did not compare to a basic 2.0 or 2.1 setup. I figured they would eventually catch up in sound quality.

 

 

 

I got a LG SK10Y , only because I bought an LG tv and it all pairs just perfectly. I honestly don't miss the full avr setup at all.
