Hi, my brother gave me a pair of R30 speakers that he had hooked up to his TV. I would like to do the same. I have a samsung TV with 2 connections that say audio right and audio left. They are only 1 connection each. The R30's have 2 spade connections each. What cables would I need to hook up my R30's. Thanks, Tim
