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?

Get a cheap reciever and use that to power your speakers.

Agreed. I'd suggest checking with a local thrift store / charity
shop. They often have simple low-end receivers available for very
little money.
