How to add a 2.1 speaker setup to my current system?

So, I just picked up a pair of Klipsch The Fives, and honestly, the sound quality is incredible. It’s got me thinking about an upgrade, though. Is it actually possible to hook up a second identical pair of Klipsch The Fives to a single PC and get them both running at once? If so, what’s the best way to set that up? Thanks in advance! 🙂

I've never actually done this 😁 and honestly, I don't see the point, but whatever... let's look at it this way: since these are active speakers, they have their own built-in amps, so you aren't going to blow anything out. You can just grab a cheap 3.5mm stereo splitter, plug it into your PC, and hook up both sets of speakers to it. It works fine with headphones and speakers combined, so it should work for two sets of speakers too. That said, there are about a million variables that could screw up the sound quality. Sometimes when you use a splitter, the total volume drops, and I'm guessing you weren't looking for a quieter experience, right? You should probably head over to the audio/video subforum to ask—those guys will give you the full rundown on what might go wrong...

But hey, if a buddy of yours has these or something similar, a splitter is basically pennies, so you might as well give it a shot...
