No HDMI arc so volume will be a separate control.

Get a Harmony universal remote. Probably the best AV purchase I've made.

Good, but have heard it has terrible Lip-sync issues

Most TVs have an audio delay setting. Can be incredibly frustrating to set up though and you're never quite sure you have it right.

Worth considering where things will be. If your tv isn't evenly between your speakers it will sound weird.

I was looking for the same thing with a similar shortlist. My original plan was a Quad Vena II Play which is nice and neat with great reviews.

I eventually ended up a Marantz PM6007, as I got a great deal with some Dali Oberon 1 speakers thrown in, and just use a Chromecast for the streaming stuff.

Thanks. I had thought of a universal remote. There is more appeal in buying seperates, but also need to keep it minimal as I'm trying to not have clutter and cables everywhere. Apparently, by mid October our shops will be open so I can actually listen to a few options then.

All my wiring is concealed in cupboards and run through the chimney breast so it's all nice and uncluttered with no visible cables.

Universal remote is very useful in being able to customise stuff, getting it all to turn on and off together and seamlessly incorporating different components.
