Is it generally a good idea to use a set of computer speakers on a

Just one is an good idea.


How so? I have mine mounted at ear level on either side of my
computer display and the sound is in the middle of my head, like with
hearphones.


The radio output is ~ 8 ohms the same as the impedance of the average
speaker. Best bet is put them in series. The situation adds well if you
happen to have two 4 ohm speakers in series but most bookshelf are 8
ohms. One loudspeaker does the job anyway.
