I live in New Zealand. Wish to know whether these speakers will work with a AV receiver/amplifier that runs on a 220V electricity supply? Thanks

Power goes to the amplifier first and as long as the amplifier accepts 220. The amplifier transfers a low voltage signal to the speakers. The speakers do not hook up directly to the 220 so I would say yes.

I am not familiar with the equipment in New Zealand I would strongly advise you to call Polk or email them that question to make sure you get the correct answer.

Hello there this is a pasive speakers. Not power supply need it. The more important think is rhe maximun power level of your amplifier. I use for surround and the performance is great. Regards from Spain.

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

They should be compatible with most, if not all, receivers. You might have to splice the cables to attach to the alternate receiver. You might want to double check on a Sony AV board but I use to use Sony speakers with my old Technics bedroom setup.

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.

The sony TV has an option of switching between the TV and Audio system speakers. I use that feature. Also, as you said, when I turn on my TV, the HTS turns on. So that works for me. As far as electricity is concerned, as long as the amplifier is not working, the electricity used should be minimal even though the receiver is on. Am I right?

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

These speakers are not powered and therefore will work anywhere. You must have a receiver or power amp in order to drive them...

Yes. .....you will need a power amplifier. ...they are not powered speakers.

Yes they should work just fine! Mine are hooked up to a 110w/channel 7:1 surround receiver. Placement of the speakers are critical in getting the results so keep that in mind. Check the instructions for speaker placement on your receiver. Mine were hung and angled down to the listening area. Hope this helps.

All US models operate on 120v- you'd need to purchase a compatible receiver model from the ONKYO International website- as their models do operate on 220-240v. Any unauthorized modification of he receiver's power supply will directly void the manufacturer's warranty. Although it is not recommended by Onkyo to do so for performance standards; using a voltage converter to provide power to the receiver is an option- but can cause potential and permanent damage of the internal components of the receiver.

I have sold the house I put these in but they are great sounding speakers . I suggest you verify via Yamaha website if the rated wattage is a concern. I am putting Yamaha in at the new house but a different style due to mounting arrangment

They are powered they plug into 110V. Awsom sound for the size. I like them better than my other tv's 5.1 speakers.

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

I can only tell you that my Sony receiver has 200 watts / channel and I've had no issues at all with the speakers. You likely will never play them at full power anyway.

Theae cables can be used to connect the speakers to an amplifier/receiver, but not directly to a TV, as I've only seen TVs with RCA, 1/8", and/or Optical out. You would be able to make the phyical connection using an adapter, but the output from the TV is not designed to drive an unpowered (passive) speaker set. To use these speakers with your TV, purchase an amp/receiver. Also, these speakers seem to be aimed at outdoor applications. While these cables will work, they are not intended for outdoor use. You may want to try something a little more weatherproof.

It is better to have speakers with wattage ratings higher than the receiver. 150 watt speakers will work fine with this receiver as long as they can handle 8ohms. Check the ohm ratings for the speakers, you did not say what kind of speakers you have so I can't answer that. Look on the rear of the speakers for the ohm rating.

You will need a receiver to power these speakers. Just about any av receiver will work. Mine are powered by an old onkyo 605. There is not a remote with these. It's just the speakers.
