Stereo? There is nothing in the specs that would lead me to believe this shouldn't cost <$40 . It doesn't even have HDMI... why would they even market this thing?
What does HDMI have to do with being a stereo?
This STEREO has two channels... which is STEREO.
Of course, it's a basic one and overpriced to allow for the "free" Polk Atrium speakers. Even with the speakers, this is overpriced by about $50 for the package.
HDMI is the standard for audio and video these days. If you want to use this device to say, run the sound for a media system at home, it would require a number of different steps inputs from your devices/computers. Where HDMI is well... awesome. I agree, this is not a deal. It may be a real solid receiver and the speakers are certainly nice, but not worth that much if it's not going to be compatible with any modern equipment.
This would be an excellent system for my garage.
