Connecting speakers to a Mac

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to hook up a set of speakers to my Imac. I'm planning on starting with a set of hi-fi speakers (about 2 years old) as I'm smashed and cant afford a decent set of monitors.

    I have two questions:-

    1) I'm fairly sure it's a usb audio interface I need but am not 100%. There's another thread here about these but am wondering can you connect sepakers to these (there's only a wire from the speakers). Can anyone confirm that this is what I'm after and maybe recommend a cheap interface (that will take wires from the speakers).

    2) Is there a massive difference between a decent enough set of hi-fi speakers and a decent set of monitors. Am I wasting my time with the hi-fi speakers?

    Thanks for any help given.
