I use mine with a regular receiver. I just had to adapt the wires at the receiver.

No. Just bare wire connections. But this device does an outstanding job. I have two and have connected two receivers together. I would HIGHLY recommend this product.

I used banana plugs from speaker wire to receiver. I plugged wire directly to speaker.

You will need extra wire as the don't give you long enough wire and you may need an adapter plug for your receiver. Bestbuy installed it for me even though I did not purchase it there.

Make sure the input is 5v DC (five volts, direct current) on your receiver.... If yes, it should work...

I connected mine to my home receiver. You would need a preamp to connect them to a computer.

They do not come with wiring. They are also not powered, you would need a receiver or some other amp to power these.

Not directly. You need an adapter plug, that allows you to run speaker wire from the speaker, to a receiver. Then to the TV.

You can use a sub-woofer in conjunction with this pair of speakers, but not without a receiver. There is no port that would allow you to directly link the two. Further, the speakers are not powered (they're passive) and require a power source (receiver) to function.

No you must direct wire it to source. Very short wire, may have to add wire.

No. You have to use bare wire, which sucks. I'd still go for something better than Bose though.

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.

These are not wireless. You need to have these wired directly to the source.

I wouldn't bet on it, although I haven't tried it. They do okay with speaker wire, but it seems that coax might be too thick n heavy.

These are the traditional bare wires that plug into an AV receiver type hookups.

Yes, unless you have extremely old wiring -- black - white- and bare copper wires is all you need. These fixtures do not take nearly as much electricity as the old fixtures, so you are very safe using them.
