Hi,

After much looking around, I have decided to get the Beolab 14 5.1 system. These are active speakers with built in DSP and EQ for each of the speakers. Now, I need a suitable sound processor to drive these. I am also planning to buy a TV. My options are:

1) Get Nuforce AVP-18 as the sound processor and buy Loewe Art TV.
Pros: Should offer the best sound quality among these options
Cons: No support for DTS:X or Dolby Atmos for future updates. 

3) Buy Loewe Individual Compose TV and use its built in 5.1 sound processor.
Pros: No need to have a sound processor or blu ray player. Simplistic design
Cons: Doesn't support lossless codecs like DTS HD and Dolby TRueHD. Might be inferior in sound quality

Both these options would cost me the same.
My main priority is sound quality. I am not sure about the difference in sound quality between 1 and 3 options.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks.
