Speakers, headphones, not the same thing. For best advice post in speakers section.

If you are looking for a speaker upgrade I say go with the new McIntosh Mcaire. I got it recently and its beyond compare its, bass and ambiance it sets in a room is the real deal.

This video will probably be a bit more convincing

I think the OP is after loudspeakers rather than an AirPlay streaming all-in-one. (Despite how intiguing that looks!)
