Can these plugs be used with the speaker connections at the back of the Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System?

Doesn't look like it but I do not own the unit. Had to Google it. Hopefully someone has it and can answer you for sure

They are pins and not banana plugs. I google the image of the back of one of your speakers and they look like they take whats called a banana plug. Often times, the plugs that banana plugs plug into can be unscrewed revealing a hole where you can snake in a speaker wire then tighten the screw on the terminal for it to hold in place. I cannot tell if this is the case with your speaker terminals. Nonetheless, your question is with regards to these terminators. If your terminals are in fact banana plug terminals, then use banana plugs instead. If not, I WOULD NOT use these as terminators for your speaker wire. As you can see, there is no insulation around these and if they touch, it will short out the speaker and can cause damage to your receiver or amplifier. Note also that the pins on these appear as though they can be bent. That is not the case in my experience. Not sure what material its made from but it is certainly not malleable. Once you bend it, it will snap off. So all in all, DO NOT USE THESE.

I don't have this particular system, but I will warn you that the plugs are very long. Too long for the standard spring clips on my Sony reciever and my speakers. Thy only go in 1 or 1.5 segments - I ended up snipping off the remaining segments for a tighter fit. They are still a little loose, but I have less worry of them falling out or shifting around. There is no loss of sound once they've been clipped - I tested speakers w/ and w/o clipped plugs to check.

Yes I can, I used them to connect my speakers, and works good, make sure your speakers have banana connectors.!!!

You can easily hook these up to a Logitech 2.1 computer speaker setup and replace the mains. But you do need to make sure that they arent the hardwired type and can accommodate a speaker wire input. Also that the power output of the system is at least as high as the nominal power required by the Polks. I'm doing just this very thing, replacing the two main front speakers with the Polks on a Logitech z5500 system. Already replaced the rears with little Bose cubes.

One of my best friends have his whole Klipsch Reference Series Home theater speakers connected with banana plugs, since he made his installation last year, and it still working fine, so if you feel like it, go for it and get them.

Yes you can use banana plugs. Actually it's te preferred method of connecting the speakers.

Yes. You can look at the back of the Onkyo 8050 (2nd image on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-8050-Network-Stereo-Receiver/dp/B004UR486G). These plugs fit in the red and black posts marked as "Speakers".

I'm sure you can plug em into the back. The speaker input is a clip type in which you put the exposed wire into. So yes you can experiment with it and plug other speakers in. Whether or not the outdoor speakers can handle the watts is a different question. Check the max watts on your speakers compare it to . At $175 I'd try it out. The answer simply isn't "No". Lol

I don't see why not. I use them as my rears in a 5.1 and plan to transition them to my side speakers once I install another pair of speaker for rears to complete a 7.1 system. They might not have as much power as you would want for front speakers but that all depends on room size and your taste.

I picked up the Energy Take Classic 5.1 system and paired it with my Yamaha receiver. These speakers sound amazing and are a huge improvement over my old Sony 5.1 system.

Yes. I have mine hooked up using Monster XP (16 gauge?) speaker wire to my 5.1 surround system. No problems.

If you are using them for your rear speakers, they will be just fine with your system. We have about same set up and they work very nice.

I wouldn't. I would home run them all back to the amp/receiver. But there is a good discussion on parallel vs. serial wiring here including amp considerations for different types of wiring. http://www.avsforum.com/t/1109592/pro-and-cons-of-wiring-speakers-in-series

Yes and no! The speakers provided have proprietary connectors going into the system. You can of coarse cut the connectors off leaving a couple of inches of wire and connect your own. I have not resorted to that yet. It appears you can get the genuine article now at about $11 each (Sony Part# J-2501-295-A/Sony DAV-BC150). I saw some packs reporting to be these on one the auction sites - some with wires much cheaper than that, but you need be sure they are the right connectors. "Real" Sony connectors were not available at all last time I looked but now I see them, since I have some good speaks to connect I will shell out the $20+.

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.

Thanks for your question. These require connection to an amplifier inside the house to play. They do not need to be plugged into a power outlet. I would need to know more about your Bose system to know if these would work with it. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Boston Acoustics dealer.

Yes, all of the speaker terminals can be direct wired or use banana plugs. My set-up is using banana plugs with no issues.

Yes. There are standard speaker connections on the back of the main unit. I use different speakers than the ones that came with it.
