Can external speakers be attached to Sony Trinitron Color TV Model # KV-13FM12 serno 40882090.
The speakers on my old TV (Sony 27 inch about 1986 vintage) are shot so I'm wondering how to connect a pair of external speakers to the external audio out RCA jacks. The speakers in question have spring loaded wire clips, no other connectors.
Do I need an amp or pre-amp or some other switcher to convert the signal? (trying to strip the RCA wires and inserting them in the clips didn't work!)
