Hooking up to a SonosConnect amp (55w). Would these suffice and would there be any advantage to going with the larger NS-AW294?

Not really. Both speakers work off an 8ohm load. I have used the sonos with these speakers and it sounds good.

Hi, I would go with the larger model if you want more depth or presence and especially beter bass......hope it will help you decides....

If you are already using a quality product like Sonos amp I would spend the extra 20 dollars and get the Polk atrium 4 speakers

Don 't know the Technics amp, but I have a Sonos Connect:Amp and the Wharfedales sound great! I expect they 'll sound great with any amp that can drive them.

I did try to connect two Fisher 8-ohm speakers from a rack system, 15 inch woofers to the B speaker output. At higher volume the over heat circut protection activates. I purchased two Infinity Multifan 3 AI-MPFA units. I also raised the receiver up one inch for better air flow. I have not turned up the volume yet. You might find this interesting.

I used standard two wire to hook up so it should work with two channel system. I'm using a Sonos system and I'm having no problems at all. They do sound nice but I don't blast them but I you need bigger speakers I would follow the JBL line. Very good quality for the price.

Yes - I am doing the exact same thing with this switch. I connected it to my SONOS Connect Amp and a Yamaha Amp to a single set of speakers. Works great.Just don't switch it to A+B. I also make sure the AMPS are off when I turn the Switch from A to B or Back.

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

It depends on how far apart you will be placing the speakers. Ideally you'll want to use two separate #14 awg speaker cables one from each speaker as a left and right set-up going to the connect:amp. It wouldn't hurt to bump that wire size up to # 12 if your running longer distance. Think voltage drop

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

I bought a pair for stereo speakers. Used one in one set that I was repairing. Sounded good and they are very inexpensive, yet well made. Don't know about how welll they'd stand up to 500 watts. But in a combo amp, which are usually not huge amps, I'm sure it will work just fine. And youl'll save a few bucks for a case of beer to slowly break in your new speaker(s)! Best of luck and 'Rock On!'

Probably will work. I have 45 year old 4-8 ohm Utah's with 12" woofers/7" mid horn/2" dome tweeter. At 25% volume my wife gets really upset. IU use a Stanton Turntable to spin LP's while I work out and it sounds great. The price difference between the 6004 and the 5004 was over $100, but slight differences. The 5004 (now the 5005) has better THD specs, but slightly less power. It depends on what your are doing. I prefer the quality over the volume. In short: I am VERY happy with the 5004 and sound produced with my LP's. I also plus my iPad into the AUX jack and that sounds excellent as well. I just like the sound of LP's over CD's and Audio files. Probably will work. I have 45 year old 4-8 ohm Utah's with 12" woofers/7" mid horn/2" dome tweeter. At 25% volume my wife gets really upset.

I always use 12AWG. I just bought 100' from Ebay that I really like because it is red and black. Get yourself some nice banana plugs too and you'll be hooked up sweet. I got those on Ebay too because the price was much better than anywhere else I looked. The items were all located in the US so shipping was fast. Happy listening! FYI, If you are going to bi-amp your speakers with the TX-NR616 you'll only get a 5.1 surround.

You only need to purchase one or the other. Which one you get depends on what you will be connecting it to. The Sonos Connect is good for connecting to your amplified home theater or stereo. This is the one that I have because I needed to connect to my receiver. The Sonos Connect: Amp is good for connecting to your favorite speakers (in the absence of a receiver, home theater or stereo system). I hope that helps.

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

I bought these for work but experimented at home first. I also tested on two Denon Recievers, Denon 3312 and the older 2807 (now at work). First of all your amp should be high current or rated for 6 ohms, (these are 6 ohm speakers), I was surprised how far I needed to turn the volume up on both Denons. At home, room size is about what you have, I was ok with the sound they produced until I tried them with one of my subwoofers, I was blown away! I actually checked to see if my Infinity Beta 50's where playing the music. At work with the old 2807 Denon no sub in a large warehouse co-workers have stopped and commented on how nice the music sounds. Sorry for the long answer, I would say if your reciever can handle 6 ohm and you use a subwoofer you will be happy you bought these.

It depends what you're driving. If you're driving guitar amp, then NU3000 would be sufficient at driving 4-8 ohms speakers wired in a 4 ohm load. (Parallel wiring, stereo setup).If you are driving a PA setup using 12", 15"' or 18" inch woofers with a crossover, midrange and a tweeter, I would probably step up to a NU6000 because your crossover and extra speakers are going to use up a lot of that power.

You can use a impedance matching audio-former, or I would suggest using a high quality amp. you can buy a amp with 4,6,8 zones @ 30 watts of power per channel that would give more than enough power per pair of speakers plus have complete control with the OSD ATM-7. Make sure your amp & speakers impedance are matching 8ohm amp match with 8 ohm speakers for best results !..

I hooked it to system with 8 ohm impedance and works perfect!However, buy an oversized electrical wall box or an open audio box, otherwise unit fitting will give you headaches.
