I suppose this is pretty basic stuff and probably a bit lame for this
group but hopefully it will fit in somewhere.

Summary:
Setup: Laptop pc with normal earphone out plug.
M-audio BX5a monitors
(Also have M-audio Fasttrack pro but wish to exclude it)

Price range for amp: Up to $130 or so.

I wan to get my computer output to a midrange(price) amplifier.

The amp needs to have 1/4 TRS out holes for M-Audio BX5a Monitors.
The monitors have both trs and XLR inputs. I prefer to use 1/4 trs
since I have plenty.

It would also be handy if the Amp had a 1/8 stereo in jack to
accommodate the computer out wire. But I suppose there are adapters.

Details:
I want to adapt the stereo out from pc to input for an amplifier.

Looking at a number of amps on line, but I'm finding it difficult to
tell just how the hookups work.

It would simplify things for me, if the amp had builtin TRS 1/4 out
jacks. Seems not many of the amps I've found have that... in fact
none so far.

Failing to find an amp with trs 1/4 out jacks, I guess some kind of
adaptor from whatever output the amp has, to something with a 1/4 trs
peg on the end of it would do.

I'm just to green at doing any of the mechanical hook up to know what
I need to do what I've proposed.

Hopefully some of you will know of an amp in my price range (up to $130)
and will either know of an amp with TRS 1/4 out jacks or know how to
adapt rca or whatever the amp uses to a trs 1/4 in on the speakers.
