I visited this site to get answers to my question(s), and I didn't see any posts similar to what I'm asking. There appears to have been a fork in the road a few years ago, and I took neither path. After three years in exile, I finally received my Klipsch 15 year old HeresyII and Chorus speakers back from the EX. (I'm now officially a collector of multiple EXs - Nice work, if you can get it!O) Anyway, my Proton D940 receiver and 700+ CD collection sounds as they always did, GREAT! But, during these last 3 years, I managed to amass over 5,000+ .mp3 files, and find managing and listening to music from a RealOne playlist much easier and more convenient than fumbling with 100s of CDs. Therefore, my question is this: Is there a simple way to connect these two pairs of speakers to my PC output? Would I still need to wire the soundcard's output into an input of my receiver, or can I connect the speakers directly to my SoundBlaster Extigy sound card? Or is this why Klipsch (and others) now market separate lines of speakers for use with PC soundcards? Are not PCs becoming the managing tool for most home theater/entertainment systems? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
