Audio Receiver died, connect Active Sub + 2 Speakers to Sound Blaster ZxR?

[Dengla]

Hey guys,

my Harman Kardon HS100 just died on me and now im left with the Harman Kardon HKTS 7 Speakers that where connected to it. i have a sound blaster zxr sound card. Is it possible to connect the sub and 2 speakers ( front l/r) to the soundcard without an additional receiver? ive been using the sb zxr with my K712 Pro's and the HS100 trough optical output before. i dont know how to connect it, if it even is possible. http/www.manualslib.com/manual/519920/Harman-Kardon-Hkts-7.html?page=9#manual here on page 9 to 11 are the speaker connections.

do i have to buy a new receiver or just some cables? i dont care about 5.1 , front left/right and sub would be enough for my needs on my pc.

thanks in advance

No you need a receiver because it acts an amplifier to boost the sound for the speakers.

i can get my hands on a yamaha r-s300. will this receiver work out of the box with the hkts 7 ? 2 speakers and sub?

Not really, it doesn't even have a sub channel so only the L/R speakers would work.
