I recently purchased a pair of Infinity P152s for about $120, since I'm trying to start an ultra-budget speaker setup for my dorm room. I understand that as passive bookshelf speakers, I'll need some sort of power/integrated amp or receiver in order to power them sufficiently, but I'm not sure what I should be looking at and I'm positively clueless as to how to set them up for use with my Macbook as a setup. I'm not looking to spend more than $120 for whatever else I'll need as I'm on a pretty tight budget, so I'm wondering what some great bang-for-the-buck options are for powering the P152s. Any suggestions?

I just won a Denon DRA-425 Receiver on eBay for about 70 bucks. Was this a good idea? What do I need to set this up from my Macbook?

Wow, old skool, lol...

I have a DRA-635 that I use as a preamp for my headphone rig (rarely though) and power some little Cambridge Soundworks speakers with. What types of connections does your Denon have on the back? At the very least, you'd need some sort of analog out on your Mac, and can run it to one of the RCA inputs on the Denon.
