Hello everyone.

I am sure glad I came across this forum!

I have a bit of a problem and was wondering if some of you kind folks might be able to guide me a bit.

I recently purchased a Creative Labs Audigy X-Fi Platinum sound card for my computer.
I bought this soundcard because I use my computer for entertainment and make music.

I currently have an old zenith surround sound reciever and am looking to buy a new reciever for my new speakers.

I bought some Event 20/20 150W Non Powered Studio Monitors. I know that the traditional thing to do is get an amp to power these things but since they dont require quarter inch jacks i figured that a receiver might do the trick.

I strated doing some research and found myself at a dead end. I would love to find an old school style rack stereo receiver but all i keep on coming across with is home theater systems and im not sure if that would be apropriate to power my speakers as im not familiar with home theater audio.

I ideally would like to have a FM recevier that can link to audio devices like the old traditional stereo systems with cd player, etc. and be powerfull enough to power these speakers and be able to switch over to my Sony SS-MF650H speakers and 5 surround sound speakers for home audio and entertainment.

I am somewhat clueless at this point as almost every system i have owned till now have been shelf systems.

Ideally my sound card would provide the output into the receiver. I would really apreciate all of your help and advice.

thanks for reading!
