My knowledge on audio electronics is not extensive hence the thread.
All I want is to get speakers (controlled by a remote) to work with my Apple TV.
At the moment I have an Apple TV connected to my LG W2361V monitor (which has no inbuilt speaker) via HDMI for picture. However for audio I have Logitech 2.1 speakers which are pretty rubbish and I have to plug them directly into the monitor's headphone jack to get sound from the two speakers (not the subwoofer, that won't connect). To change the volume, I have to use the buttons on the monitor and this takes a long while, there is no remote for it.
However, I want to purchase better speakers, more specifically I'm looking at the Microlab Solo6c which comes with a remote. How would I get this to work with the Apple TV as the speakers do not have an optical jack as far as I'm aware? Also how would I use a PS3 with the speakers?
3 things to mention:
1) this is a small setup for a university sized accommodation
2) budget is not huge
3) I'm open to any speakers not just the Microlab Solo6c
