Beovox CX50 to PC

How can I use these on my pc as the main speakers?

 

All beovox's (unlike beolabs) are passive speakers so you will need an amplifier to power them.

Connect your PCs headphone out to the amps AUX in and you should be good to go.

Thanks. What kind of amp are we talking about? I hope something cheap.

Look on eBay for the stackables eg 5000 which is we use. Remotes are the real challenge, so the 5500+ gives you a choice of the MCP or a BeoLink 1000, and also positions you for more flexible wiring options

Are you talking about this?

I think 'Elephant was referring to the Beomaster series.  The Beolab 5000 you have looked at will cost you a lot of money!

The Beomaster 5500 is here:

I don't know if you can just use a headphone amp of some description from your PC headphone out socket?  You just need the correct DIN connectors to the CX50's.  A full Beomaster 5500 or 5000 etc is a good option though so you have better control and ability to expand the system, use the tuner etc.

Have you taken the frets (grills) off those CX50's yet?

A bigger issue is the foam rot of the woofer if they haven't been refoamed yet.
