The specs say the satellite speakers are "powered". Does that mean they require separate power connections?

The speakers are powered. The main unit(with the subwoofer and digital display) has a power cord that plugs direct into a power outlet or power strip. The satellite speakers are powered from that main unit. You only need one outlet to power the speakers.

no, it means that they are plugged into the wall and are really great speakers for the price. The bass is good, the volume control has a wide range and the remote is really nice. Great bang for the buck.

No, what you are referring to are powered speakers. These are simple speaker wire hookups

These speakers need power. I have 120W per channel and they could take more. Dont skimp on power.

Why would you want to? The speakers are supposed to be one of it's best characteristics. It could be done but probably won't supply the power needed and you'll damage the system.

These are not powered speakers. They are standard speakers with input for speaker wires coming from the stereo amp/ tuner/receiver at whatever voltage that runs on. I hope that helps.

They are powered by the subwoofer, the big wooden cube you have to plug into a wall outlet. Have some space available for the subwoofer, the control wire and speaker cables from the satellite speakers are long so they can reach pretty far.

Dana - Yes, the Seismic Audio Baby Tremor Powered SubWoofer also has an Amplifier (150watts per channel) that you can run a Passive Speaker(s) through. It has Speakon and Banana Terminals for Satellite Output (Left and Right). So if you get one of the Powered Subs then you can hook to Passive Speakers up to it. Or you can purchase two Subs and hook one Satelite up to each one. I was so impressed after the 1st Sub that I later ordered another one. The Bass Response is FANTASTIC!!!!James Clark, Jr., DJ

According to the manual, MCR-040_manual.pdf, there are connections for only one set of speakers.

No, you will need to purchase the power supply in addition to the speakers. There is an alternative model that comes with both.

I do not believe the T-15 speakers are "powered" meaning that you do not plug them in to drive an internal amp so you would need an external amp.

The AX510 gets its power from the display, so no separate power supply is needed, but that also means that the speakers won't work with displays that are not compatible.

These are designed to be used with a surround sound receiver/amplifier. The sub-woofer has a built in amplifier, but only for powering the sub-woofer. You will need to wire satellite speakers with standard speaker wire (I used 14AWG). The input for the sub-woofer is a single RCA connector, I would recommend a double shielded coax with RCA connectors in order to keep out interference from power sources. Most TVs have 2x <=10W stereo output for a pair of speakers, this will not work for this system. BA recommends a 10-100W per channel amplifier(receiver) with sub-woofer out for these speakers.

Hello John. The speakers have a standard, stereo, micro-plug. Yes they need to be plugged into household current and are equipped with the necessary power converter.

Receiver powered. No external power required. I'm using them for rear surround speakers and they do an awesome job !

Yes, the two separate speakers are detachable from the main power unit, it that's what you're asking. Each of the two speakers come with a wire approximately three to three and one half feet in length, which plugs into the main power unit. The only downside I've found to this product is that the speaker wires are too short. Hope this has been helpful.

you must connect speakers to the power amp. the cx-a5000bl can not power a speaker

I answered 'yes' by mistake - it is not necessary, so there is no confusion. The speakers are self powered, you simply need to plug them in from the speaker with the power cord to a 110 outlet.
