is there a way to hook up bookshelf speakers that just have speaker wire inputs to a TV without those outputs?

I'm not buying a receiver for downstairs, we'd just like to hear better than the tv allows.

Not without buying *something* -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 07:36 8
- Yeah, I found the requisite cable but it's not any cheaper than getting a soundbar with the speaker cost. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 07:38 7
  - I'm really toying with getting myself a soundbar for my birthday. have you looked much at them? -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 07:41 5
    - We have one in the living room. We go pretty cheap because they tend to blow out when we lose power. - spamlet Jul 19, 07:44 4
      - I should look into this - it would probably fix the audio glitch on my tv -- nm - Beryllium Jul 19, 07:48
      - I can't find it on the website but can look when I go home at lunchtime if you're interested. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 07:46
      - perhaps you need to invest in better surge protectors then. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 19, 07:46 1
        
        We've lost two and they are the only things we've ever lost due to a surge. - spamlet Jul 19, 07:47
  - just get a soundbar, that is really all you need then. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 19, 07:38
sure just solder the appropriate connector to hook up to the tv outputs onto the speaker wire. easy peasy -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 07:35
