Convert PC speakers to Reciever speakers
hi i have this set of 5.1 computer speakers, they all hook up to the subwoofer, which hooks up to another piece, which hooks up to my computer through usb, i dont want to use them for my computer anymore,
-but i do want to use these speakers with my stereo receiver, would it work if i cut the end of the cables and plugged them into the back of my receiver? |

Re: Convert PC speakers to Reciever speakers
Yes it's possible, if they are passive speakers - meaning they do not have an amplifier built in. They'll be rated higher than the 8 ohms the receiver is expecting to see but that is not an issue. (Lower could be but not higher.)
What is the brand and model number of the set?

Re: Convert PC speakers to Reciever speakers
My feeling is NO they will not work. It appear that they are powered speakers - if you call 5W power - so they are not intended to take a speaker level feed. Sorry - looks like you'll have to go but some speakers...
