Thanks for the response. This looks like a much better value than the tx-sr805. I think that I found my new receiver.

Right now I am using a Pioneer VSX-1120 that powers all my speakers,I am running the JBL in front,bose center, and sony front ,side and rear a total of 9. I also have run my Onkyo TRSX-705 . I did like the Onkyo but it is only a 7-1 hookup THX. I will probably be selling that one due to I have a RCA to. The JBL'S are good for Bi-amp.They sound real good with plenty of base for the action movies or listening to music. Let me know if you need any more advice. Remember to use a heavy gauge wire.

Any surround sound receiver will work with these speakers. I have a Panasonic 5.1 unit and they sound great

It should work just fine. The setup program will optimize the receiver based on the speakers hooked up and the type and quality of the speakers. The receiver is really designed as a home theater system so there will likely be lots of features that you will not utilize with your setup!

You would need a receiver. I would recommend either Yamaha or Denon budget around $300 - $500

Yes It will work with any receiver. I used it with my Yamaha, and did not have any problems.However, make sure your receiver is not too powerful. If it is too powerful, and you crank up the volume, you may damage the speaker.I have since traded my Yamaha for a new Bose system which included a new center channel speaker

I would move up to more power for floor standing speakers. Odds are you'll bottom out with this receiver.

You do not need a receiver for this item as they are powered speaker. I have a mixer just to boost the power & supervise the volume limit.

I have a 10 year old Aiwa receiver with 7.1 channel capability and it's been great. There are a lot of good receivers on the market you can choose from in the price range you selected. I suggest looking at the top brands (Sony, Aiwa, Denon, Onkyo, etc) and read the reviews on Amazon. You'll figure out what features appeal to you the most that fit within your budget. Just make sure it has at least 6.1 channel capability to take full advantage of the Polk speakers.

Not this one. Others on Amazon do though. They are probably more expensive though, but unless if you already have a receiver this one will be worthless.

You can hook the receiver to nearly any audio source via a 3.5 mm audio cable. If your audio source does not have 3.5 audio output - a component to 3.5mm converter can be used. If all else fails, use the provided microphone and place it close to the desired sources speaker

Hey Adam, Since this is a very good receiver, I went with Sonance In-wall Theatre-Cinema speakers all around t Center and they sound great with this receiver. It's worth spending a few more dollars on higher end speakers. Best of luck!

Bob, just about any 5.1 or more surround sound receiver that I carry would work here. Depends what features you would like(zone 2, bluetooth, airplay, wifi).Eric C

Please consider getting a receiver with a Sub-out. The sound quality will be improved beyond your wildest dreams.
