I still have an old, small (by today's standards) Sony boombox that has 
only two audio sources working anymore. One is a pair of line-level plug 
inputs that work just fine with standard stereo cabling. It even has a 
five-band equalizer useful for making things sound right through its 
built-in speakers.

In general, I prefer small music stereo speakers for such things, not 
any kind of "speakers for computers". IMO, you get better quality 
speakers for less money that way.
