does it look like this on the back?

if so, it looks like you need to connect an amplifier to it with some speaker wire 

 

chromecast audio -> (whatever input the AMP takes that is the most compatible) amp -> (speaker wire) speakers

So my dad has a pair of bowers and wilkins cm1s (the older one), I wanna add it to my chrome cast audio system. Now I'm a complete idiot that doesn't understand RCA and basically anything that isn't optical or aux. So my question is what converter do I need to use a chrome cast audio with it, RCA to optical? I honestly don't even know if they're RCA I'm dumb.

Yeah I'll just sell them, I don't wanna buy two amps. Maybe I can get a few hundred for them, wish me luck. Thanks for the help.
