I recently bought a new monitor for my old Compaq system. My old monitor was also the power source for some JBL speakers that came with the old system. My new monitor does not have a power jack for the speakers. They really work quite well for stock issue and I would like to keep them.
My question is two-fold:
1.) Can I just buy some sort of voltaqe converter or something which I can plug into a power strip in order to power the speakers?
2.) If there's nothing available that would allow me to keep my old speakers, what spec's do I need to know in order to buy a reasonably good pair of speakers. (I'm not really a connoiseur of music hardware, so anything comparable to what I have now would be adequate.) My current speakers are the JBL Platinum series and the only specs visible on the speaker case is 12V DC--1.0 A. Does the 1.0 A signify that they draw 1 amp? The speakers are so old that nothing is still available on them at the JBL site.
Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
