I have a Yamaha RX-V675 7.2 Channel Network AV Receiver with Airplay. Don't have room for towers, looking for bookshelf. Will these pair well?

If you do not want thundering bass, these are excellent speakers. However, with an added subwoofer, this would be an exceptional speaker. They have a good amount of bass output on there own. This is a bookshelf that would benefit greatly with the addition of a sub. I enjoy mine. They are drive by a Harmon Kardon HK3390, again - I am pleased with my choice.

They are powered speakers so they do not need an amplifier. They can be directly connected to computers or airport expresses. They do not support airplay. To use in 5.1 applications, your receiver would need line-level outputs for the channels (many do). You will not need the amplifier stage from your receiver to drive them. I second the opinion that these speakers sound great.

Yes, but in a similar way I started out with a onkyo and a separate crown 2100. It was good but the home receivers just don't have enough volume or dB gain. I have 2 crown amps and a art equalizer and most of all a art rack mixer. Setup is louder by 4 times as home av stuff. The amplifier is a winner but if it's not loud enough, get a mixer to drive the lines.

I suppose yes. If you connect the receiver to an amplifier with speakers, it will be fine.

Yes. I am using two with a Yamaha intergrated amp. Plus I am using the Hafler hookup; using two small speakers on top of the Pioneers. You aim them at the ceiling using the difference signal from the amp. On the small speakers, wire the L+ and R+ of the stereo amp to the + of both small speakers. Then connect the L and R negs together on the small speakers and you have live sound. Better than Dolby

This is a great 7 way receiver. I have some Bose and Polk speakers connected to the same unit. I can also control this with my ipad and do air play.

Wirelessly or wired L, R, center and sub? If wirelessly you will have to find a kit that supports all the speakers. Otherwise you just wire the remaining speakers to your amplifier or AV receiver.

Dear John,Great integrated amp and bookshelf speakers. I like the way you think! This will be an excellent match. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I haven't set them up yet -- waiting for the remodel to complete. I bought a Sonos Connect:Amp to pair them with -- it's rated at Class-D (2x 55W, 8 ohms). The Sonos Amp is extremely versatile, can't wait to hear it with the Wharfedales. Should be very good. http://www.sonos.com/shop/products/connectamp

Well! it may put out audio with in the tv's range & that may suit you just fine. Now ! on the other hand I got the speaker's to add to a Sony surroud system & they drowned out the rest of the speakers also the impedance was not correct. I had to get things in balance now my all Yamaha 7.2 system pushed with Yamaha Reciver the Rx-V676 .The house trembles & that works for me. Pleas note I did this a pair at a time as there are no package deals in the mid range speaker's , seems the stores sell top & bottom stuff around me...have fun what ever way you go.

I have a pair of BIC America Venturi DV-64's I bought on Amazon in early 2012 that I use with mine. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00011KLOI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think they sound great together. I bought these Fluance's last year after moving and needing some new rears, and I think they sound great with the towers I bought. I have Jamo center and sub, and a mid-grade Yamaha receiver. Based on the comments I've gotten from a number of people (including a couple of guy's who've had AV businesses in the past) it's a good sounding system. In my opinion, reasonably priced speakers sounding good together has more to do with your receiver, and having THAT set up properly based on distances between speakers and distances between where the hearer sits relative to the speakers.

The ones I purchased required a separate Apple Express in order to use AirPlay. I bought the older speaker version that used the older Express which made the combined solution more affordable.

I don't know what type of reciever you have). Most of the new ones onkyo and yamaha provide you with an app that automatically sets up the room for you. There is i believe a cd that does the same.

Yes, it's working fine for me. Google "spotify OSX airplay" and you will get to the Spotify support page detailing how to do it

I use mainly the 5.1 mode, and switch to stereo 2 channel if I lis to music. of course they sound less complete than my big infinity boxes, but that's expected. The argument for the Yamaha is space and sound. We found it a serious improvement to the setup before with tv speakers only.

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.

Yes they do and very well. This combo can embarrass far more pricey kit if you give the speakers some air - say 2 feet from the rear wall. And the stands cannot be too high - about 22 inches high is good. You will want some high quality speaker cables. The airplay sounds better if you run ethernet cable directly to the NAD from the router, btw.
