So my dad gave me his old speakers, and I want to hook them up to my pc. Here's the speakers:
Dantax MC 302 is the model in case it's hard to make out on the photo. They're about 20 years old, but still sound good imo. They're in pretty good nick too.
I'm guessing that since they say 200/300W on that sticker, a small and desk friendly unit is out of the question, and that I'll need a "standard" size stereo amp. On the other hand, my dad ran them for 20 years with a Technics SU-V460 integrated amp, which according to google is only 80W.
So, on to my actual question - what should I buy to connect this to my pc? I have plenty of desk space, but I'd still prefer a small'ish unit, as I don't like desk clutter. Don't mind buying used, but keep in mind that I'm in euroland.
As a bonus question, I'm thinking of getting me a pair of more audiophile headphones for when I can't use the speakers. So a unit that I can connect those to at the same time would be useful.
I'm using onboard audio (Asus P5K mobo currently) and don't intend on changing that, unless you all really insist.
Budget is.. well, I'm thinking like 3-400$ for the amp? The headphones will come later.
