Hello Guys,
I am looking to finally upgrade my 15 year old Altec Lansing computer speaker to some proper stereo setup. Possible outputs from laptop (HP, with Windows 7) are USB, HDMI and Firewire. I'm very curious to hear your opinions on a possible setup for my laptop. (Notice, I'm living in Europe, therefore the prices might vary a bit from the US)
-HRT music streamer II (150EUR - 190USD, new)
-Harman Kardon 1200 (90EUR - 115USD, second hand from audiophile shop)
-Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 (200EUR - 250USD, new)
Most of all, I'd like to know how this would compared to a connection with HDMI to a A/V receiver.
Looking forward to hearing your reactions. Would you suggest a better option for the same price?
Stein
