just wondering if i can put any kind of speakers to my macbook? I have a set of cambridge 5.1's and they're still working very well.. however i can't seem to get them going with my macbook. There are about 3 different wires to connect, black, orange and green. None of them work though..

If I'm understanding correctly, each one of those is for a pair of channels for 5.1. Front Left/Right, Rear Left/Right, and Center/Subwoofer. To use something like that with a Mac, you would want to use a Griffin Firewave, which has those connections.

if that's the case, what speakers would you recommend for good stereo sound for a desktop setup with my macbook?

Well for other computer type speakers, just do a search in the forums. There have been a bunch of threads about recommended speakers.

However, if you already have the cambridge setup, it would be cheaper to buy the $40 Firewave than a new set of speakers. Just a thought.
