I have a vintage Yamaha receiver that puts out 60 Watts per channel. Would these speakers work for me?

These Yamaha speakers connect to a amplifier with standard speaker cable. 60 watts per channel should be fine.

Yes, they certainly will work. For the price these are well worth the cost. I will be using these on my 1969 sansui receiver 30 watts per channel. I have tried them on my newer receiver a technics with 75 watts per channnel and they work nice. I am going to add some polyfill acoustical materiel to dampen them a little but thats just me because I am always trying to improve things and not just speakers. They are not $1,000.00 speakers but for me they are just right. If you read reviews they will drive you crazy, everybody has their opinions, some are just too critical but I say the sound on these are very good for the price. I hope this helps a little.John D Yes, they certainly will work. For the price these are well worth the cost. I will be using these on my 1969 sansui receiver 30 watts per channel.

I would think that they will work just fine. These speakers have amazing sound quality for the money.

yes. and they would sound very good in stereo. your Yamaha has enough current power to drive them well and get the most out of them! later on they would do fine in a home th. setup. Im currently using them in a medium power 5-spk(4.1) 90 wpc stereo system. very happy with them.A bargain for quality recvd. Placement with these is NOT as critical as would be with less-defined speakers. i find 15' feet apart away from corners is good, but they have such a broad sound field adn wide dynamics its not critical as it would be with other designs. More flexible is good for now and the future.

Definitely, they will work and it will maximize the power of your receiver because you have 4 driver- and 3 way floorstanders, it will provide more detailed balance sound and better use two (2) put them at your front channel and you will experience a high quality speaker system.

Actually I am using these speakers with a vintage 30 year old Pioneer receiver which exceeds the sound quality (based on my experience) of any modern receiver such as Dennon, Onkyo or Sony. Wattage is deceiving and is based on there tests which may not be accurate. Go to a stereo store and listen to several units. Manyvif the bells and whistles on expensive units are never used. You may be surprised that a $150.00 35 Watt Onkyo may sound and perform better than a $300.00 100 Watt Dennon or other brand.

They will sound very good---not to expect the sound to fill a concert hall--using four of these for your channels will be fantastic--or a two channael receiver like you said "vintage"---I uses mine as rear speakers for my Onkyo. Hope this helps.

Yes.This receiver will power any set of speakers I know of . Pioneer rates this receiver at 140 rms watts per channel. I cannot speak for pioneer but this receiver will get the job done. Hope that helps. Great Receiver.

I cannot think of any reason why it would not work just fine. I am not proficient in sound numbers but my receiver is 100 watts per channel and have 4 of the 6 speakers pairs hooked up and it works just fine. No problems at all.

I doubt you have 185 watts per channel RMS. These will work fine with your system. You won't over power them unless you over crank the volume. They will take a lot of power.I paired these with a set of the big boys, dual 15 inch woofers, Cerwin Vega, forgot the model number. Those I drive with a separate 700w RMS QSC amp. M base receiver is an 1100 watt Sony. That receiver drives the xls-28's no problems. Nice speakers. The big boys are too big for your setup. Weigh 120 pounds, and probably take 25 watts just to get moving. Hope this helps.

I have a Yamaha with 120 watts per channel. That seems like plenty of power.I don't know if I'd use less than 80. Good speakers for the money

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 will sound fine with just about anything. I have a Yamaha 773 AVR and it drives everything fine from my ceriwn vega part monsters to my pioneers andrew Jones series speakers.

These are not intended for home use or with a stereo receiver as they are a PA system speaker and require a pro audio power amp and a mixer to function properly. So something like a 2000 watt amp that runs around 500 watts a side at 8 ohm would be a good match for these.

Absolutely! I believe that receiver is 50 watts per channel at 8 ohms, and that will drive these speakers nicely. These are good speakers, I have them in my master bedroom and they sound great!

I have not a clue, any respectable amplifier with 20 watts RMS from 20-20KHz should do it. I use an Yamaha RX-V573, 70 watts @ 20-20K, 110 @ 1Khz (big whoop). The point is I never need a whole lot of power, read the specs, 96 db 1 Watt/1 meter, pretty efficient, up there in Klipsch RF territory and they sound better than Klipsch RF-62's. If you have a clean old two channel receiver with 50 watts x2 channels, it should be plenty for a good sized room. My listening room is 20' x 11' and along with the F12 these guys always sound great.

My app is also Yamaha and it's pushing 115 watts per channel (RMS) and it does a great job. You should have a Pure Direct button on your app and if so they perform very nice under this mode. Hope this helps you out. They are the bomb.com speakers... JS.. love them!

They will work with any receiver/amp, as to how well, you will need to match up specifications. You have given no information about your receiver so at this point you are the only one who knows. You must compare numbers, it never hurts to have some more power than is recommended. Common sense still applies in operation and usage of said power. Aside from all that, these are amazing speakers for their price. Enjoy.

I have two pairs of these speakers and they are magnificent. They are also efficient (i.e. don't require a lot of power "watts" to drive them). If you vintage amplifier has at least 40 or 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, it should work fine. This will get you to a medium loud sound level, but not near ear-bleeding sound levels. Larry Blakely
