I’d like to make a living room setup, with the following:
- A Turntable
- A Projector (mainly to watch movies)
- A Desktop (to stream the movies to the projector; as CD/DVD reader; to send audio files)
- Some passive speakers
- All the Mumble jambo that connects all of these
What I already have:
- the turntable
- the phono preamp
- the desktop
That being said, I think I need:
- an Amp capable of receiving the optical from the desktop (HDMI audio extractor - image to the projector; optical audio signal to the Amp) and receiving the aux from my phono preamp.
- The passive speakers (aiming at Dali Spektor 1, but open to other suggestions).
- The HDMI Audio Exctractor. (is it important to get an exepensive one, or will the cheapest do the job?)
- Some stands for the speakers.
I’d like to get some suggestions on what (not crappy) solutions do I have under the 500€ mark. Consider I live in EU, and if there’s none, at what price point does it begin to get «not crappy».
Fun things it’d be cool to have:
- some bluetooth connecticity, or any way to make that happen
- ability to power a sub later on (and maybe the ability to then cut the low end from the speakers)
PS: I didn’t metion the projector, but if you have any kind of advice i’d gladily take it aswell
