Let me start by saying that I am a total newbie to home theater, home audio and all that stuff.
What I would like is to have one set of speakers, preferably no more than 2 satellite speakers and a subwoofer, that I can use with my new LCD TV and also be able to stream music to from my computer. If I had to give priority to one function over the other, it would definitely be music. I really don't want to spend more than $200 if possible. Obviously I'm not going to get anything state-of-the-art for that. Also, I don't need something with a lot of volume. I live in an apartment with thin walls, so I'll probably never have it much more than halfway up anyway. I just want something with good, full sound.
Though I haven't got it set up yet, I intend to stream music to these speakers via an Apple Airport Express. I don't have a receiver and don't intend to get one, so I'd be curious to know what options I would have for connecting the speakers for use with both the TV and the Airport Express. What inputs/outputs should I be looking for when looking
For what it's worth, I really like the sound and appearance of the Klipsch iFi, but I have no use for the iPod dock portion, so I don't know if that makes any sense as an option. It has a stereo mini auxiliary input and a stereo mini line input for what that's worth.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
