I've added 2 Meridian speakers to my ht for hi res 2 ch. playback. They accept SP/DIF coax only as inputs. They work fine with other components. My HTPC with HDMI connected to my processor with MC17 works fine for 5.1. Connecting SP/DIF out from the HTPC to the Meridians doesn't. Besides fixing this with my current HTPC, is there something to consider when selecting components for my new HTPC in regards to the double speaker arrangement?
