Stereo Monitor Speakers

Something I'm confused about - you know those speakers that are included with stereo systems? The wiring and hookup from the speakers to the stereo is different than a standard computer speaker to a computer. With your computer speaker, you have your 1/8'' jack... but with stereo speakers, you have your wires. Is there any way to plug these speakers into your computer, such as an adapter to convert the signal from the wires into a 1/8'' output that can be plugged into your pc?

I'd like to use these speakers as studio monitors... idk if that's possible though...

home speakers don't really qualify as monitors but if that's all you got...........

are your speakers powered or are you using a amp or amp/reciever? an 1/8" jack to rca adapter is probably what you need.

this might be useful if you need to hack something up:

NO, you can't plug your stereo speakers into the sound card.

You CAN plug the soundcard into the integrated amplifier of your stereo...

I'm surprised too. Live and learn.

Let me rephrase that. Use what ever works for you. Better?

Your spam is getting very annoying. You are single-handefly giving McIntosh a bad name. If you work for them, I hope they fire you.
