I am building a new computer and wish to use it to replace my stereo reciever. Will a sound card put out the same amount of power as a stereo reciever? Can I use the same large, unpowered speakers, or do I need to get a powered set? Is a sound card output capable of giving me 100W X 2 channels? If so, how can you tell the power output of a sound card?
