I just bought a new Dell with a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, I want to use it as a main computer linked to my TV in my bedroom.

I am thinking about buying a Bose speaker system (not because of the quality but because of the size) to put a 5.1 speaker system driven by my computer. My speakers will be about 30 feet (10m) from the computer. I will hook up a seperate VGA or DVI cable to my flat screen TV.

My problem lies in that I don't think that the sound card will run the bose system and I want to see what my option are for amplifying the sound from my computer. I want something small since my computer will be my main music and DVD outlet.

Do you have any solutions other than buying a (rather large) amplifier, running the sound card to the amplifier and then from the amp to the speakers?

Do in line computer amplifiers exist?

Look forward to your answers.
