The radio output is ~ 8 ohms the same as the impedance of the average speaker. Best bet is put them in series. The situation adds well if you happen to have two 4 ohm speakers in series but most bookshelf are 8 ohms. One loudspeaker does the job anyway. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

The radio audio output line would go to the amplifier for the amplified speakers, and the amplifier is normally designed to power two midrange speakers and a floor-woofer. Only problem I can see is the computer speakers might give better fidelity to things like static and manmade noise. bob k5qwg |

That the sort of thing that happens when you change the topic from a bookshelf speaker to amplified speakers. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
