I have a Mac Pro from 2006. Back in the day I bought a JBL speaker system with 3 speakers and a woofer(wired). The speakers are no longer working. Looking to replace with something that would give me a stereo sound.
I'm using Samson Media One 5a studio monitors with my 2009 Mac Pro and it sounds amazing. I also had the Bose companion 3's but the studio monitors blow the Bose out of the water in sound quality. I'd go with a nice set of studio monitors.
That’s a shame about your JBL speakers. From what I understand, any speakers would work for stereo, but you’d want good sounding ones( no garbage) so, maybe audioengine, logitech, to name two, I’m sure there are other good brands out there, what I usually do is check the companies’ websites until I see something that looks good, then I check out the specs, then the price. I don’t know of a store that just sells computer speakers- usually it’s this, that, and the other and computer speakers. Maybe your local kijjiji?
Just a few ideas

Mac output is a almost always headphone output. To get sound from a speaker subsystem, it must have an amplifier. Speaker systems for computers typically have an Amplifier built into one of the speakers.
My old speakers have BOTH a power adapter AND batteries inside one of the speaker bodies. When the batteries get weak, it stops producing sounds.
Check for disconnected power adapter.
Check for dead batteries or corroded battery contacts in the unit with the Amplifier built-in.
Thanks Andy I will check them out!
Grant, I thank you for your analysis. I doubt I have batteries in the speaker because it is a wired system and I see no place for a battery to be housed. Nevertheless I will give them another look.
Good options, thanks
