Trying to create a surround for pc with music set speakers and amps

[unity100]

I need MAJOR help here.

I have a Creative X-fi extreme music board.

I want to get at least 5.1 outs from this sound board, but not through standard computer speaker stuff, but quality music set speakers and amp.

I currently have an old pioneer music rack from 1991, it has a stereo built-in amp (DC-Z82), and 2 stereo 3-way speakers.

I want to get at least 4 new technology speakers like these http://www.pioneerekoshop.com/urunler.asp?choice=7 , and an amp that will be able to receive digital output from the sound card, (any of these http://www.pioneerekoshop.com/urunler.asp?choice=3 ), and this way create a fantastic classic music experience.

But, im kind of newbie when it comes to setting up such set-ups, in terms of knowledge about what amp, speaker is best.

as a sidenote, i NEVER want to listen to anything on those standard (or highly pumped up), digital, extreme-tech 5.1, 7.1 speaker sets with TINY satellites (hence tiny voices - not in amplitude but in feeling) and artificially created bass.

i want to make a MAJOR classical music listening environment.

Please help with this.
