I have been thinking of getting a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Speakers and connect them to my PC. Unfortunately, I have little expertise in these matters and I want to get this set up for as cheap as possible. After reading more it turns out that I need copper wire to connect these speakers to an amp, and then 3.5 audio jack from amp to PC. I am wondering however if its possible to connect the speakers straight to my PC with some kind of adapter, thus avoiding the cost of buying an amp.
I realise an amp is needed to power speakers, but I believe that my motherboard is powerful enough to power them (I got a AsRock Z97 Extreme 6). I already have a Beyerdynamics DT770 250ohms which is perfectly driven by the motherboard.
