BrainFlushYou can connect left and right speakers, you can also connect with aux, and 1/4" (instrument cable). My advice is if you're a gamer, this card is definitely I great option. For movie watch it is damn good card aswell, but it doesn't make it better than buying an amp. If you're an audiophile buy an amp instead of this card. It is directed to gamers with features like scout mode and Crystal voice.

BrainFlushIt will not power full sized speakers. It has a headphone amp in it, which appears to be rated at 80 mW. According to the specs you posted you'd need 1000 mW (1W) to hit the 97 dB sensitivity rating... which means you can use a relatively low power amp to get a lot of sound out of those. But that's still a lot more power than a headphone amp will get you.

KreycoThanks both of you. I have a game room. I don't have room on the desk for an amp and I'm not looking for one. But I would be willing to buy a mini amp thing to attach to this in conjunction etc.
You have ideas. Let me know. I'm looking to keep it cheap as I do use my headphones 90% of the time.
Really appreciate it.

BrainFlushThere are several desktop units out there that are low powered but sufficient to drive a full sized speaker. They are pretty small. I found these 2 after doing a quick search, and they seem to get decent reviews.
Lepy LP-2020A ($26 Amazon, don't get the car version. You want the wall power supply) Pyle Home Series (price varies by model)
Even the Lepy, which is 20W per channel should be more than sufficient to get those speakers over 100dB (fairly loud). Just don't expect 120bB rock concert levels.
