Effectively what I would like is a decent soundbar that also has a

At the moment I use a 32 inch IPS monitor connected directly to my HD
FOX T2, but the monitor only has one HDMI connector and a separate
Amptastic mini amp does the sound.

The sound bar would replace the Amp and computer spkrs but there is
still the problem with multiple HDMI sources. I don't want a full-on AV
amp, they are too big and powerful for my needs and I don't think I need
5/7/9 channels.

I assume that you have discounted just fronting it with an HDMI switch
which would probably be a more flexible and even cheaper option?


The only suitable sound bar with a built in HDMI switch that I have
found is the Denon DHT-S716H, but it is £799. Ouch. Lots of
functionality like heos multi-room which I won't ever use.


A separate HDMI switch might be what I settle for but they have a huge
range in price and reading posts in places like avforums, some are
'temperamental'.
