The beauty of using an AV amp is you can have half a dozen different HDMIs going into it (virgin box, console, chromecast, PC, etc) and then only one wire coming out of it to go into the TV as it handles all the switching of sources. Makes it much neater than a shit load of stuff plugged into the TV.
Obviously you then need wires to your speakers, not necessarily that big an issue if you're redecorating (all my speaker wires run under the skirting board and just pop out behind the speaker stands.
The difficult one can be the centre speaker (which is probably the most important for dialogue) which ideally should be above/below your tv.
They are generally pretty big though. There's a very limited number of smaller ones but you pay for it. Sticking it in a cupboard is the best bet

Cheers for the reply... off the top of my head... I dont expect to have many inputs into the TV. Arial and Apple TV only I think, although what you describe sounds quite good and means I would have expandability. I slightly worry an AV amp will add one too many remote controls for Mrs 116, but thats a different problem. I plan on building a custom cupboard to hide as much as possible.
Any recommendations for set ups? I dont know where to start...
edit: im really into these actually... https://www.richersounds.com/hi-fi/in-wall-ceiling-speakers/kef-ci160qr.html but how many would I need?

This the right place for AV talk?
TV sets ups, talk to me... I want to get something decent so I can actually hear what people are saying in films. Currently have some Harmon Karden speakers (the classic 3 piece ones) but they are too many wires for my liking. My TV is going ot be sitting on its own legs (it has legs) and I plan on running a single cable to.... ???
AV amps look big and complicated, I'm leaning towards a Sonos beam.
Anyone any suggestions/thoughts?
