      While my setup isn’t meant to be showy, I cannot operate with a single monitor these days. At work I have my laptop screen, a USB monitor to the right, a 36" ultra-widescreen up high, and a landscape 32" monitor to the left.

      I still want more screens. I basically want a Neil Pert monitor setup.

      Multi monitor setups arent bad but in my experience they are usually cludged together abominations with at minimum two desks in active use. Mine for example is consistent of a HP pavilion from around 02 if I had to make a guess, a HP monitor from 17, and then my 5 plus year old Asus monitor. My desks setup is an L desk plus a random corner desk for the CRT and the WW2 era speakers I have that I still need wires for.

      Anyone know where I can get wires and an amp for an antique pair of speakers? They use a positive and negative similar to what old car speakers have, not particularly picky just want to test them ideally using an aux input.

        Any home improvement store - > wires aisle - > buy “speaker wire” in whatever length you need.

        Lamp wire is also fine, often times they are the same / interchangeable.

        An amp? Well there’s a whole lot of options there from multi channel home theater units down to just a stereo mini amp.

        If you just want to power some old speakers I’d lean towards a stereo mini amp on Amazon. Then maybe a cheap bluetooth receiver so you can easily pair your phone for some modern streaming support.
