I've recently picked up a Sound BlasterX AE-5 sound card and I'm excited to get it set up. I noticed that the connections include one RCA for the front left/right, back left/right, and subwoofer. I really want to use my Bowers & Wilkins speakers for gaming when I'm playing alone. Is there a way to connect the front speakers to one RCA connector, and what about the other channels? My backup plan is to use optical through a receiver. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Actually, the Sound BlasterX AE-5 uses 3.5mm jacks rather than RCA connectors. Are your Bowers & Wilkins speakers equipped with RCA inputs? That would change how you connect everything.
Yes, they do use RCA! Do you think it's better to use a receiver and go with an optical connection instead?
