Well, I don't have any experience with these speakers, but it sounds like you need a receiver.....however, if these speakers are self powered, which it sounds like they must be since you don't already have a receiver, then I really don't know what you need.......give some more info on the speakers please.

Looking at the speaker system inputs:

You will need a switch box of some sort. If you want to go even cheaper, then I suppose you can buy a couple of audio splitters and mess around with some female to male RCAs. If you want truly awesome sound, then definitely get a receiver. If you don't have too much to spend, the switch box is a good idea. Another option is to go to Guitar Center or some music store and buy a mini-mixer.
