Hi,
I have wharfedale monitors for my Yamaha motif.
I would like to use these speakers to listen to audio off of my Mac G4
and Dell Inspiron.
How could I set it up so my computer audio can play off of these
speakers?
Thanks.

Get a stereo integrated amplifier (or receiver). Connect an adapter
cable (2.5 mm stereo phone plug to two RCA plugs) from the computer
'line out' to the amplifier 'line in' jacks. Hook the speakers up to
the amplifier.

Turn the amp on and adjust the volume.

(Unless your Wharfedales are amplified. In this case just buy the
appropriate cables and plug them in.)

The connectors on computers tend to be the more common 3.5mm
variety. 2.5mm are more often used for cellphone headsets, etc.

Turn the amp on and adjust the volume.

Indeed the question almost seems too simple, or else something was
left out.

What's a "Yamaha motif"?

Computer speakers are only needed to make brrrm brrrm noises, screams,
squeals, gunshots and sounds of people being slaughtered. A $10 speaker
can do that.

Wharfedale is way OTT for the purpose.

Or stick 240V up his arse. That'll give a good sound of humanity being
extinguished.

Seems to be a Synthesizer keyboard.

Late-night posting...must get some sleep.

You never know. It's why I gave a simple answer. I wondered what a
Yamaha motif was, too. Unless the OP pops in to acknowledge, it's all moot.

The OP's imperfect capitalization--which seemed to imply that it was a
decorating scheme (motif)--threw me off. The wiki article didn't
indicate the output connectors on the unit; but the original advice
still stands...with suitable modification for that parameter.
