So I'm looking for a basic but decent quality sound system for the TV. I have a few devices connected up to it, both via HDMI (PC and PS3). The TV does have optical out so I'd like to use that, connect that to a receiver / amp and then to non powered speakers (sub to follow).
Probably looking at a well rated pair of non-powered bookshelf speakers ($80ish) and a $100 sub.
My real problem is I don't know what to put in between the TV and the speakers. I'm really clueless on receivers and amps. I really just want something that'll power the speakers and has a decent DAC that'll accept digital optical audio from the TV.
Can anyone point me in the direction, and a ballpark amount I should spend considering the speakers I'm looking at buying?
