i just have a small cheap portable amp... i'd plug the amp into my laptop and then plug the splitter into the amp?

I suggest you get a power amp just for the speakers.

Doing that actually gives you a wider, however weird, sound field.

EDIT: Used to do this when gaming, but to really benefit from the grand sound field you need to have open headphones, which you seem do (Grados, right?).
But this will also FUBAR your HP's own quality quite a bit, considering that's Grados (or Alessandro? they all look the same).
