My 21st century workshop audio solution:

One of these Nyrius Bluetooth stereo audio adapters:

<https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EVYJ4VC/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all>

Then the stereo output into a pair of Alesis Elevate 3 monitors I got on 
a Christmas sale a few years ago for $49:

<http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/alesis-elevate-3-studio-monitor-pair?cntry=us&source=3WWRWXGP&gclid=CLejuvHX8tICFYuNswodDl0NJA&kwid=productads-adid^156403583515-device^c-plaid^140859210981-sku^H80524000000000@ADL4MF-adType^PLA>

And the 1/8" subwoofer out from the speakers into a used powered sub.

Sounds great, play any song I want from my iPod wirelessly for under
$100
