If you play only cd's or mp3's all you need is a receiver, two speakers, speaker cables and an ipod. If you don't use mp3's you don't even need the ipod. If you want a little more punch to your sound you could add a power amp and surround sound, but those are definitely not necessary.

Hi-- It all depends on your ears. If you are looking for background music, then almost any off the shelf receiver and speaker combination will do. If you are looking for something that will capture you as you walk through the room, then that a whole different story. The latter is high end audio. If you are just starting out, you might consider vintage pieces from the 1970's. Oak Tree Audio is a good place. The speakers you will have to go and listen to, but fast rise times on the specs will help your sound be cleaner, and more transparent. Also-- use live music as your baseline. IE: Can you sense the varnish and wood on an acoustic guitar, or is it just making a guitar noise? JD Hi-- It all depends on your ears.

are you using a connecting cable 3.5mm with two out put ends to plug into your aux imput on the back of your receiver? if you really want hi-end playback, get a nuforce dac and use this type of cable or a single 3.5mm connecting cable from mp3 player to a receiver or intergrated amp and the sound quality will blow you away, happy listening:)

Definitely need a receiver for this sound system. It is a great system though once you get it up and running.

In order to use these speakers you need to buy a stereo receiver. There are many available. I bought a Yamaha rxv 373, w two Pyle pcb3bk speakers and spent less than $200. I already owned a JBL Northridge e series 10 inch 150 watt subwoofer from a previous application. W these purchases combined, I have a really nice system for minimal $ Once you have these things in place you then use a hdmi cable to connect the receiver to the TV.

I recommend getting good quality banana plugs for the wires. They are easy to get on Amazon..You don't need anything else other than that for an easy plug-in to the receiver. Of course, you need your HDMI cables..

You need a subwoofer cable. The receiver should have a Subwoofer out that connects directly to subwoofer with the subwoofer cable. Don't buy a Y adapter or cable.

You need an amp/receiver with speakers.....or you can use just headphones with the unit

Buy a vintage stereo receiver with a headphone jack and phono input. Preferably a mid to late 1970's model or very early 80's. Look for a ~30W Pioneer, Kenwood, Onkyo, HK, Toshiba, Sony. Should be able to find one on Craigslist for $0-$150. These things were constructed very well, it was the heyday of audio gear. Nothing like the throwaway Chinese junk made today. Pioneer's SX series is very abundant and priced pretty reasonably.

Just speakers and a sub.. Decent set for 5.1 sound for movies and tv but not exactly made for music. Solid value for the price and a decent 5.1 receiver can be found for cheap if you wait for the right sale. Best of luck

i just bought a inexpensive pyle amplifier on amazon and then you can just hook in anything you want. any cheap stereo, mp3 player or cell phone. i have mine hooked up to a smart tv. good luck

Yes buy a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. That way you can connect all your accessories (cable box, blu-ray player, game consoles, etc) directly to the receiver, which will be connected to the surround speakers.

You will need a receiver to drive the speakers of your choice. This table has a built-in phono amp, which makes it compatible with any receiver. At the very least, I would recommend a $300 receiver and a $300 speaker set. Almost all receivers have a very nice headphone output.

Hi Leonard B., I bought this receiver for my brother and sister in law, last year. They wanted a basic, powerful stereo receiver, NOT a home theatre system. I chose this model because the speakers my sister in law has are high end and need 75 watt PLUS per channel. She is a semi professional singer, who listens to classical music and opera all day long. They LOVE this receiver. The sound is crisp and clean. The radio is dynamite, and they live in a remote area of the northeast. So yes they need an extra antenna. I use one myself even tho I live in Chicago. This is an excellent receiver to serve as the center of a traditional hi fi set up. You can plug your TV/DVR/DVD into it.. but it is not a home theatre system. It's for music and radio listeners. -Timothy Jackson Chicago, IL

well, ya. quality components are sold individually. spend plenty more on speakers than this unit, as they make more of a difference. you'll also need an amplifier....

You have to have speakers and a stereo receiver or amplifier. The turntable comes with a belt for the drive and a cartridge with needle already installed.

All ur receiver needs is a sub pre-out. So an RCA connection. Plug in to LFE(Low Frequency Effects) on sub.

I got everything I needed to hook them up in the box. There might be some items for special hookups, like a sub which are not included. Just a note, you need a knife blade or a thin screwdriver to remove the panel on the rear of the speaker that has all the hookups.
