what would be the best receiver for these speakers

I'm not exactly an audiophile, but I've been using an Onkyo TX-NR525 with these speakers for the last year and have been quite pleased.

It really depends upon your budget & desires. We went with an Ontkyo wifi receiver with enough hdmi slots for our gaming system, etc. That way, the phones & laptops don't need to be "plugged in" to add to system occasionally & still work well.

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 would move up to more power for floor standing speakers. Odds are you'll bottom out with this receiver.

Your speakers are rated at 120 watts, I recently bought a pair to use in the rear of a surround sound system. This receiver is rated at 100 watts per channel. Your speakers are a perfect match for this receiver.

Yesss but you wont get the full surround sound without 5 speaker and a good receiver. These speakers can handle a lot of power and sound great .. I think you would be wasting your money for 2 speaker set up with these.

You will need a receiver to power the speakers. They are perfect for surround application .

Definitely a better speaker than the Infinity and Klipsch. I would not but Klipsch because their speakers tend to miss out on mid-range. The Polks will work better with higher end receivers and will shine with separate amplifiers.

It should work just fine. The setup program will optimize the receiver based on the speakers hooked up and the type and quality of the speakers. The receiver is really designed as a home theater system so there will likely be lots of features that you will not utilize with your setup!

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.

These speakers are efficient enough to work with either receiver. Would make a nice front pair for 5.1 or stereo. I use mine in a stereo setup that offers about 20 watts which is way less tha the onkyo u are looking at. I kind of prefer a stereo setup with a subwoofer rather than 5.1. I can get accurate sound for not near as much money but that is just me. I have had 5.1 but found a good digital integrated amp with a great DAC, good speakers and sub was affordable whereas the same kind of quality in 5.1 was far beyond my budget. If I want the movie experience, I go to a movie. Hmmm.

You would need a receiver. I would recommend either Yamaha or Denon budget around $300 - $500

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. :)

You do need a receiver. I went with a Sony receiver. They are well priced and are good quality. These speakers not being wireless sort of ages this system now. Might want to keep that in mind. There are good all in one (receiver included) surround systems out there now. Do your homework.

This is just the receiver only. I paired mine with Klipsch Icon speakers from Best Buy. They are an absolutely perfect match. They have a wide range of sounds and can handle the power of this receiver easily. You can also look into other brands like Polk or Bose but you'd be over paying.

I would say about 150 Watts RMS. You really need some nice clean power to drive these speakers. I would highly advise to Bi-amp your speakers: meaning get an external amp in addition to your Receiver's amp.

These are computer system speakers. They would improve your sound tremendously but I think you may want a surround system or a sound bar with simulated surround. Best bet is to buy a receiver and 6 speakers

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