Speakers use RCA input and Receiver uses speaker wire output

[AddictingPats]

I have the Edifier R1280Ts (Amazon link), and they use an RCA input, and I am looking for a receiver to plug my record player and CD player into. All of the receivers that I can afford($100) use a speaker wire output, any ideas on a cheap way to solve this?

Thank you

A receiver would need passive speakers.
A cheap way would be a splitter https/www.amazon.com/Belkin-Speaker-Headphone-Audio-Splitter/dp/B000067RC4/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1515740819&sr=1-5&keywords=3.5+mm+splitter
or for RCA: https/www.amazon.com/iExcell-Speaker-Splitter-Shielding-Adapter/dp/B019ZQS4N4/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1515741041&sr=1-5&keywords=rca+splitter
or a switch box. Something like https/www.amazon.com/SMAKN%C2%AE-3-5mm-Stereo-Switching-socket/dp/B00XQOPRBO
or for RCA
https/www.amazon.com/Panlong-Switcher-Composite-Selector-Consoles/dp/B00KXVBB3Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1515741112&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=rca+switch+box&psc=1
if both record player and CD player have analog audio output.

You could open the back of the powered speaker, cut the wires from the amp to the crossover and add new wires to the receiver.
If you wanted to get sophisticated, you could add a 2 wire 2-way switch so you can use them as powered speakers also.

It's not too hard to solder basic circuitry, but don't mess with it if you feel you don't know what you are doing.

You don't really need a receiver at all if the TT has it's own phono preamp built in.
You need an input selector for the speakers.
