You will need a power amp between the HiFi speakers and the PC audio output.
It is possible to get an adaptor that can go from the 3.5 mm mini jack on
the computer to a set of phono plugs that can be extended to reach your HiFi
amplifier. Use the AUX or the Tape monitor input to amplify the computer's
output.

Take care when doing this, because the computer can make some surprise types
of noises, clicks, and whatever. HiFi equipment tends to be less robust than
the computer equipment for this type of thing. I personally would get a
descent set of speakers for the computer. In relation to everything else,
you can get a cheap set of computer speakers, and you would be better off.

OK, I asked a previous question earlier about whether I can connect 3.5mm
minijack output on my PC soundcard to my hi-fi speaker. The answer was that
it wasn't recommended - thanks to those that answered.

Therefore I'd like to know of another way of connecting my hi-fi speakers to
my PC. Cost plays a big part in my decision so what is the cheapest way of
achieveing this with decent results? Powered hi-fi amp? High-power
soundcard?

Thanks.
