I stupidly bought a pair of monitors which haven't got speakers in, I'm pleased with them and don't particularly want the hassle of sending them back... So I need a set of speakers with minimum of 2 inputs... I know I should've checked this prior, but oh well.

Any suggestions? Or am I best off trying to find an amp\etc?
 
Some PC speakers have secondary inputs, but I don't think you can select which input is used. Creative T20's for eg, have a secondary input, but it is intended for connecting an MP3 player while they are also connected to a computer.

You can get active monitor speakers that have multiple inputs and have input selection. It depends what you want to spend, as monitor speakers with input selection might cost at least £100.

An amplifier is another option, but they are pretty large, so you will need to make sure you have space if you decide to go down that route. Also you will need a pair of passive speakers.
 
I was thinking of getting a Creative D200, T20 S2 or Edifier 1600T's, if the T20's have got the secondary input at the back, I'll probably get them. The D200 sounds interesting because I can have it on the shelf next to my Linux machine with cable input, and then BT connectivity to my PC, but I'm a bit warey of the playing HD video and the hi-def sounds going through BT...
 
The Edifier's only have one input.

The T20's secondary input is on the front. When you connect a device to that input, say an MP3 player, it will override the main PC input.

The D200's have a secondary analogue input as well it seems. I'm not sure if there is an input selector though, so you might need to plug and unplug the secondary connection depending which input you want to use, like the T20's.
