Trying to help a non-audiophile friend, and I know zilch about this.
He's looking for something to hook up to his tv, plays dvd/cd, and will drive some B&W speakers - hasn't told me the model speaker yet but I'm pretty sure they're fairly small and easy to drive, and he may use 3 including a center channel. I was gonna rec an Oppo 103 (just based on what I've read), but then he'd have to buy a separate amp.
Is there such an integrated gadget, and fairly inexpensive? Seems like a tall order to me, but I have no home theater/dvd setup and am ignorant about such devices.
