You can basically connect any speakers. But they have to have they own power. No matter what you use.

2.1 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1CZ1G98824

Thank you for reply but like i said i'm not interested in regular speakers for pc i have plenty those. I am more into learning ohm's capabilities & technical side of of it. Yes i have account with Newegg for 7 years now. but nice line up. Kudos. ;)

You have three ways to connect speakers from you computer. HDMI, Analog & Digital. Like said you can connect any speakers out there on the market.

But they have to have a power device of some kind in between the speakers and the computer. Your sound card only gives you sound.

It doesn't have any power at all to drive a set on speakers. I understand what you want to do, but you still need that device in between sorry.

Thank you for the input. Very much appreciated. Just regular talk here. I was hoping real Repair technician with many years of repairing & knowledge would explain to me in terms like this. I wanted to know the Variables of ohm's and integrated Sound card is capable of handle ling. I read some old PC sound cards would handle in beginning 4 ohm's-50 ohm's this are strong variables  power plug in & wall connection is irrelevant at this moment since is obvious they need power.Don't feel offended i just want the break down of integrated sound cards from now a days if possible if not than at least i came across some cool members who gave there feed back.

BACKGROUND
"
A typical high-impedance system is shown in Figure 1. A transformer at the power-amplifier output steps up
the voltage to approximately 70 volts at full power. Each speaker has a step-down transformer that matches
the 70V line to each speaker's impedance. The primaries of all the speaker transformers are paralleled
across the transformer secondary on the power amplifier.

I'm not offended but I have been working on and repairing computers for over 30 years. Most people about 99% really don't care about this.

Yes there is 1% of the people would want to know this. Most people only care that if they connect the speakers and they work are happy.

But here are a couple of links that might help or might not. http://www.wirelessforums.org/alt-comp-hardware/sound-card-impedance-63682.html
