can Harman Kardon AVR 1510 5.1-Channel 75-Watt Networked Audio/Video Receiver drive this system well?

No experience with it. The speakers are great, especially for their size, and if the reciever is halfway decent you'll have a nice compact setup

You most certainly do NOT have to have a Harman Kardon receiver. It could be any receiver. Also I f your TV has audio out, you can just attach it directly and control the volume from your TV since this has 3.5mm outputs I believe.

I have 4 of the hooked up outside my house and sound good they do need an amplified power source for better quality sound so I would recommend an amplified receiver with at least 100 watts per channel

I just use my marantz 5005 receiver and run my audio and video thru the receiver...no separate amp required as long as u have an AV (audio video) receiver

I just bought the speakers and paired them with Denon AVR-S500BT; awesome. The price is similar to Onkyo but Denon has the auto calibration tool. The setup is also very easy, just another option for you to consider.Either way, it should work.

If your receiver has enough power (say at least 120 Watts per channel) it should be okay to hook it up to the receiver.

Great! With a 150 rms amp, you will have no problem driving to 80hz. My Onkyo drives Klipsch towers, surrounds and this center channel. It to pushes 145 watts rms. I think it will do what you are looking for... Go for it!

I've run this set on Onkyo 5.1 100 watt per channel receivers and they have performed very well. As with most speakers over powering is not the problem. Distortion kills speakers plain and simple. Playing at a volume level that causes distortion does the speaker in. The more clean power you have the more clean volume you have to use. Better quality receiver less distortion you should have.

It should be OK. My Yamaha avr can get to 95w and these spkrs are still fine at very loud level (my ear drums start getting hurt)

Since these are mid-size speakers, they really don't require a lot of power to sound great. Even 50W per channel for two channels is plenty. I'd shop around and decide based on what else you'll be using a receiver for, such as video. If audio is all you want/need then finding an amp should be a cinch. Onkyo, Pioneer and Harman Kardon would all be great choices for these speakers, it will just come down to personal taste and preference, as well as price considerations. Hope that helps and good luck!

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!

Yes, These speakers don't require a lot of power. I'm sure your receiver will do fine.

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff

Hiya, this doesn't make sense entirely - the speaker is a passive speaker and will only produce the sound of what you send it. It has three speakers in it (Left-Center-Right) all in one cabinet, but it's not powered so it won't create two extra channels. Your 5.1 system will still be a 5.1 system. Well, assuming you have another 2 speakers and a sub....and a receiver.

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