I do want a solution. You haven't provided one.

You suggested an amp. The fact that I'm able to use a headphone jack to connect my speakers should tell you I don't need an amplifier. The question posed is how to connect those speakers if I no longer had access to a headphone jack. Currently the headphone jack is working fine.

For what it's worth, here's a comment that seems like it's get a perfect solution for me.

Sorry if I was unclear.
