what do I need to connect these speakers to? Will a receiver work, and can I plug my computer into the receiver?

A receiver with at least 50 watts per chanel will do fine, then plug your computer to the aux imput of the receiver. Make sure you use 12 Gauge wire to conect the speakers and get the best out of them. It´s Important to leave enough room from the speakers to the rear and side wall, to make the bass port and the rear tweeter reflect their sound towards the listener. If you are going to use them in a book shelf better get the 201 and a subwoofer like a polkaudio.

No problem connecting to a receiver. If your computer has a sound card, you could connect via phono outputs to your receiver. Also SPDIF if both have that plug.

Good speaker cables will connect to your receiver. I find the sound of these Bose 301 speakers outstanding. They fill the room with wonderful sound. I do not know about the computer to receiver hookup. Try the "HELP" of the receiver manufacture.

You can connect to any receivers speaker outputs. You cannot connect these directly to a computer since computers do not have L and R speaker outputs.

Good speaker cables will work and connect to your receiver. I am very pleased with the sound of my Bose 301 speakers.

Forgot to mention...of course you'll need to have speakers to plug into the receiver as well...but that goes without saying. RCA cables work fine from the speakers to the receiver, but I like to make my own. :)

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

These are not computer speakers. That means that they need an amplifier (such as a receiver) to be used with the computer.

You cannot plug these directly to your computer. You can hook these up to a receiver/amplifier and use one of the inputs on the receiver/amplifier to connect the line-out from your computer sound card.

Dear Omer,You need a stereo receiver or amplifier to power the speakers, a connection cable from the X5 to the receiver, and speakerwire to go from the receiver to the speakers.Eric C

after you connect your computer to the receiver, then connect this set to the receiver just like other speakers. There is no special connection for this set or anything.

If you connect the speakers to a receiver and then connect the computer to the receiver, then yes, you can. We have a computer connected to a receiver which connects our speakers and other components and it works just fine.

you can use computer speakers. But you need a power source for the speakers and will have to turn them on and off as with a computer.

You can hook it up to powered computer speakers or to a stereo receiver. It should come with the appropriate adaptor cables.

I have no Idea, my speakers are currently hooked up to my PS3 through regular RCA cables mostly and a few adapters. Since they are each powered speakers I don't need a receiver. You can plug an iphone or PC or whatever directly into them. If you want to plug into a receiver you'll want it to have RC outs on it.

You will need a receiver to power the speaker. It does not have an independent power source.

You cannot connect these speakers directly to your tv. They require an AV receiver to power them.

These are not self-amplified computer speakers. These are passive speakers that would connect to an amplifier or receiver. So you would need an amp to connect them to a PC.
