I am using a Pioneer 7.2 surround system with mine, but I ended up buying another sattalite speaker to round out the system, and an Infinity Center channel. The bass is great from the jbl sub, but mine went out right after the warranty from amazon was up. I purchased a polk 12in sub...its amazing...subsonic

Michael is correct, but if you're looking for particular brands to be suggested you can't go wrong with pairing JBL speakers with Harman Kardon receivers. I've been a fan of Harman Kardon for awhile and I will either get their receivers or Denon. Denon is a bit pricey, but either will do. And like Michael said...you can pair it with any 5.1 surround sound system of your choice.

There are a lot of nice receivers out there. I would get something to handle the wattage and the 7.1 to really enjoy the sound quality. I think as far as brands go it's what you like. I wouldn't go cheap, you just got some great speakers. I would look for something to enhance them. Make sure you get a receiver compatible with your speakers, wiring and so on. Check out the Leviton JBL site...that's what I did.

Actually, I bought an old Sony home theater receiver from Craigslist for $20. These older receivers (the ones with Dolby Prologic but not Dolby Digital and/or DTS) have A and B speaker outputs, which can both be run at the same time for a total of four speakers in stereo. If you're not put off by the idea of buying things from Craigslist, this might be the best and most affordable option (affordability being, I assume, the biggest criterion if you're buying these speakers, as was the case for me).I hope this helps. :)

I used the Emotiva a-100 amplifier which is a little over $200 and it sounded great. I'm sure that the 2 channel receivers at Best Buy also should work well but are probably in the $150 and up range. You can also look up Class D amplifiers on the Internet. Some are closer to $100 and anything with 25 watts or more should suffice.Since you are using the computer, the radio on a receiver is not necessary since most stations have websites.

I see that the ohms and amps of the receiver meets the speaker requirements, so I dont see an issue with the combination. The speakers are good for any low end setup, check out others such as Bose, Definitive technology,Energy around the same price range. Listen to sound from these speakers, the preference varies from person to person, some look for low frequency specifically, some look for overall performance...it depends!

This will work, but I would suggest upgrading your receiver if it's mid-grade or less. This device works fine, but is always pretty warm so I know it's burning a fair amount of electricity even not being used.

I use nothing but yamaha speakers. If purchasing an amp? Get dual zone. Works like 2 diff receivers.

Answer here...You Need A 2.4 GHz Signal Booster High Gain Antenna. The Antenna Is Fitting The Receiver.

Should be no problem as long as your receiver has optical or digital outputs.

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

Look at the Logitech site and look for unifying receiver software. There you find full compatibility models.

In that stand point you wont receive quality sound with a 2.1 system it wont matter what high end speakers you throw at it. The technology in your receiver cant produce what you are looking for.

Thanks for your question. You will need a receiver for these. It is a wonderful sounding speaker system.

The L830's should work well with a good vintage receiver. BTW, found that replacing the stock terminal connectors (the plated jumper strips linking the two sets of wire inputs) with short leads of good quality speaker wire further improves overall detail. Try it, you might like it.

This receiver has an amplifier built in actually a pretty powerful one the only other thing you will need is a pair of speakers that can handle this much power LOL

Your HDTV has regular red and white audio outputs right? If so, any 2-channel stereo receiver will work very well and won't break the bank. You can find 2 channel stereo receivers from many companies, I would stick with Sony, Yamaha, Onkyo, or Harman Kardon. They all have different power ratings and appearances so I cannot recommend one specifically for you. But Sony I would say will offer the least amount of sound quality. Yamaha, Onkyo, and Harman Kardon will probably offer better sound. Also, if you don't mind spending a little bit more, I think you would be happier with the sound quality of some nice bookshelf speakers from Polk Audio such as the RTI A1. You may lose some bass, but you will gain a clearer, more balanced sound. You can also find some good deals for used speakers on Craigslist sometimes

RTK. I have some of these units. They work really well. I only use the transmitter portion, so I have a couple of receivers laying around. If you would them, just let me know.

Go with a wireless system. Get one that has one receiver that supports 2 microphones.
