[quote name='bordjon']If you want just "speakers" then you'd have to get powered speakers - some really nice ones here:

but not cheap! Most all computer speakers are powered and can be had in a wide range of prices. You can use a rca to stereo minijack cable to connect to most computer speakers. Some may have rca connections as well but most are mini jack.
Now - what am I using - I stream internet radio (radioparadise.com) from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed in my kitchen using the following setup.
Roku Soundbridge m1000 or m1001 models (I have three around the house but mainly use the kitchen one - I also have a m500 smaller model) - this is a long out of production internet radio from Roku that has served my purpose for many, many years. I have gone through a couple power supplies but that the only problem I've had.
Sonic Impact T-amp - a class T all digital 15 watt amp that can be powered by batteries or AC. Also long out of production but I think they reproduced them later and may still be some version of it. There are various class T amps out there that are tiny, clean and efficient. More than enough power to do what I need. Here is basically what I have - just a different manufacturer - these were so in demand parts express brought them back a few years ago under their own brand.

Athena bookshelf speakers in the kitchen. I've also run Orb Audio, Scandyna, Klipsch, Paradigm and the list goes on off of the little digital amps all with excellent results. A very efficient amp and if paired with efficient speakers like the Athenas (or the Klipsch) it can produce great results.
Ok - after having said all that - if you aren't an audio geek like me I'd just go with either an all in one internet radio unit like the mondo that can also do speaker out for later upgrade - or the non-all in one unit you mentioned and just go with some computer speakers. Unless you already have a stereo system that you want to/can use it with - in which case you may only have to get the stereo to mini-jack plug.[/QUOTE]
So Orb Audio requires an amp? Also are they really as good as Orb says? If that's the case I'll have to put them on a wishlist for getting one day especially since they're made in the United States.
You said computer speakers pose no problem? Ok great. I was looking at getting an LS21 by Logitech for the time being since they're on sale locally.
The big reason I'm getting the Grace internet radio over the Roku and others is the Reciva support both this and C.Crane support. Apparently they all say over 18,000 stations support this format and I've checked it. It's got stations broadcast fully in the Japanese language, among others.
Live365 and other support as well which the Logitech's don't have.
