Stereo Speakers Set Up

I have a great pair of Bose stereo bookshelf speakers that I am not using right now, and I need better computer speakers. Any idea on how to use the Bose speakers on my computer?
I can't do that, the only connection on the Bose speakers is "speaker wire", and I can't plug that right into my computer.

If you mean the red and black wires.. then you cannot do it.

There is no simple adaptor.

And such speakers require some power, more than can be easily supplied by the audio out jack, which is suitable for earphones and small speakers only (very low volume). Or speakers with their own power source (which your Bose speakers are not).

I remember that creative used to sell a amplifier that plugged into the PC and you could connect Bose speakers to that. But it has probably gone out of style as high quality PC speakers have gotten really cheap.

--WARNING-- There is an EAR RAPE near the end of the video. Turn your speakers down near the end of the vid! --END WARNING-- Tired of the speakers ...

Just as the title says. If I plug in computer speakers and my normal stereo speakers up to my stereo set, is there anyway I can get sound to come out of both of them?

If you one of those double plug- in, it should work.

We're building a home with sets of speakers in 2 rooms and surround sound TV in a third room. We have an Onkyo home theater stereo, but it only has speaker outputs A and B. We don't need to spend a million dollars, we're just looking for the best way to get sound to the total of three rooms. It doesn't need to be different music in the different rooms, either. Is there a simple switch one can buy to send the signal either to one room or the other, or do you need to get the multi-room amps, etc? Thanks.

With out seeing what receiver you have it is impossible to say, but if you had two totally different output options, and I have not seen one yet, but it couble be possible. What I think you will have to do is have two receivers, 1 with surround options for the TV 5.1 (6 speakers total 6 seperate outputs for each of the 6 speakers) and another that has stereo outputs for at least 4 speakers or 2 and double up wiring on 2 but you need to check the receivers wattage to match speakers. (ex. you do not want a 200 watt system using 4 100 watt speakers)

Set up the 5.1 surround for TV viewing (to get true surround you need all speakers placed correctly in room with TV.

Set up the extra receiver and run wires to the other rooms for speaker placement. Keep in mind that the other rooms will be only good for stereo applications (ex. CD,radio...)

If you are trying to use the 5.1 (6 speaker set-up) in all three rooms you will not get the true surround feel in TV room and also certain speakers are responsible for certain sounds in 5.1 mode, although you could place the receiver in a different mode to get the stereo sounds in all speakers except the sub-woofer.

I want to be able to play vinyl and not buy all the parts separately because I don't want the hassle of finding compatable parts.
