Will an old 30 WPC Marantz 1060 power these ok?

Thanks for your question. Your vintage Marantz is a wonderful amplifier. It will power these just fine. Just remember that 30 watts has it's limitations, but absolutely. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Polk dealer.

They will work but will not be very loud. you buy an amp with higher power for better sound quality.

Yes they would probably sound very good on that system. Most likely that 1000 watt system would have less than 250 watts per channel.

It will be ok as long as they are not over 35 watts.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

It should be fine. They can only handle 600 watts of maximum power so just don't turn your amp above halfway and you should be fine.

These speakers are powered. As long as you have a standard line level audio out it should work. These speakers have a 1/4" phono jack and an XLR jack for inputs. A standard 1/4" male to male cable should plug the two together.

The PSB's are 8ohm and 90db sensitivity speakers. The Marantz will have no problem driving them. Pair it with a good source transport, solid speakers and you will have an excellent system.

Yes, just check the ohm level of your speakers and make sure they are in the range of the amp. If they are standard bookshelf speakers, shouldn't be a problem.

Definitely. I have them hooked up to a 200w stereo system from the 80's that can't do surround sound. They blow me away with music, movies and games.

I did a quick review on the 2.1 system.I personally have bought these Pyle PLG64's for a car audio system and they worked great. According to what I read online about your computer audio it should fit and they should handle the wattage which is 200watt for the media pro. So, I'd say it should work. Sound quality though I wouldn't bet on it being too great.

It will be fine. It's actually more than you need. Assuming you have a true 1100 watt rms amplifier, and correct wire sizes , clean connections , these drivers are only rated at 400 rms I think. So if your only running one be cautious on how much gain you use. Just remember it's distortion that kills drivers not to much power. Good luck

Harmon Kardon 330c should be fine. 20 wpc thirty years ago was much more powerful than 20 wpc nowadays. Not sure why, but I am playing mine through a H/K 330b and they sound great.

I use a Marantz MM7055 140 watt per channel Amp for these speakers and I think they rock. I can't imagine needing hundreds of watts per channel. If they sound so good with 300 watts per channel hooked up to them, I sure would like to hear it.

They are just speakers. They don't currently have anything powering them. So the short answer is no. Maybe they could if you added a reciever and hooked your computer to that, but you'd be better off (and will save money) if you go with a powered set made for a computer.

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff.

I don't think it will make much difference. I plugged them into cheap Creative desktop speakers and the sound was great when it worked.
