Will the Apple speakers work if I use an adapter for the headphone jack? I'm planning to hook the Pro Speakers up with another pair of external speakers using a bunch of adapters through the headphone jack.

This is on the iMac 1,25 GHz.

Thanks.

The Pro Speakers are supposedly digital and not analog, which would imply that they will *not* work with an adapter into the headphones jack.

They were never claimed to be digital. They're just plain old unamplified speakers with an unusual plug. (The "digital" referred to the amplifier in the matching G4 towers.) Speakers are by nature analog -- you can't make a digital one.

If you used Pro speakers unamplified on a headphone jack, they would be uselessly quiet.

Besides, they're really not great speakers. You can get better speakers for less money than it would cost to get the Pro speakers working to begin with.
