Is it possible to use a receiver with these speakers?

Yes it is, the back of the speakers have conventional speaker connections. In addition, if you want to use the control pod (redundant if you have a receiver), it has digital coax and optical inputs as well as 3x 3.5mm audio jacks.

No, these speakers are designed for speaker wire. There might be some kind of work around with adapters or specialized connectors but to truly appreciate the sound these speakers produce you need a receiver. Sorry.

i wouldn't recommend it .... as these speakers are meant to be used with an A/v receiver as the rear surround channel and love to be powered ...

No, these are just speakers and have no amplifier. You would need to have a receiver connected to them.

Unfortunately no. You need a receiver to run these as well as seperate speaker wire to connect all the speakers to the receiver

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!

These are not powered speakers they require an amplifier or PA. Only then could you do connect it.

As these are just a pair of speakers you would need at least a stereo amp, speaker wire, and RCA cables for input into the receiver. I paired these speakers with a Sony STR-DH130 2 Channel Stereo Receiver and find that it drives them quite well. I primarily use them for listening to music but they do well for watching tv, though some equalizing may be necessary.

Yes you can. They use the old fashioned way with twisted wire ends. I added a Polk sub-woofer in addition to the standard speakers which works well. Check the wattage for any larger speakers.

Not directly. You would need a powered external amplifier with a digital input (from the PC) and analog output (to the speakers). Most modern receivers provide these interfaces. So, if your PC happens to be nearby your home receiver, you may be able to play your PC audio with these speakers. You'd need to route your PC's digital audio output to your receivers audio input. Then connect the speakers to the appropriate analog output channels on the receiver.

I really haven't tried that kind of setup. I only use the speakers myself but I don't see why you couldn't use both. You might want to contact a Pioneer repersentive or retailer in your area, I'm sure they would know.

Yes but you have to have an external amp or receiver to power the speakers.

No, they are standard speakers and need a stereo or receiver to use the speakers, they are not a stand alone audio device.

If your receiver has a sub-woofer output, it should work. The power part of the speaker is supplied by plugging into a wall outlet.

There non powered regular speakers that need to be powered by a receiver. I have them and they sound great!

In order to use these speakers you need to buy a stereo receiver. There are many available. I bought a Yamaha rxv 373, w two Pyle pcb3bk speakers and spent less than $200. I already owned a JBL Northridge e series 10 inch 150 watt subwoofer from a previous application. W these purchases combined, I have a really nice system for minimal $ Once you have these things in place you then use a hdmi cable to connect the receiver to the TV.

I haven't tried to do that, but I have no doubt that you could. But you couldn't directly. I would suggest getting a receiver. Great speakers no doubt.
