Streaming music with an airport express?

[admin_exported]

Hello everyone, i'm new to the hifi world and when i say new i mean really new! Now i listen to music only with my macbook speakers

I'd like to buy a turntable to listen to some vinyls and i was wondering if i can connect it via wifi to a pair of speakers (wich of course i don't have), and use them with my macbook too. I got an airport express.

Thank you.

Maybe it's the wrong section, wifi should be better, sorry.

Hi,

You will also need to buy an amplifier to power the speakers. What kind of budget did you have in mind?

Cheers

Hello, thank you for you answer.

Now i don't have anything in mynd because i don't know almost anything about this world. I'm just a student so i don't want to spend thousand of euros, if it costs too much i think i'll pass.

You should be able to get and amp and some speakers for less than €500 if you shop around. Is that acceptable? You won't regret it when comparing the sound to the macook's inbuilt speakers!

Yes, thank you. Any advice about where and what to buy? How to connect them to the wifi? Can i ask it here or is it better if i open an other thread?

Thank you

This thread is fine.You would wire the airport express into the amp and stream form your macbook to the airport.

Eh i don't know where you are in Europe, prices differ between countries but how about a set of these

and perhaps one of these for starters

That should be less than €600

There are so many combinations.....

Take a look around this website and compile a shortlist.
