If I buy 2 of them to use in a 2.0 Yamaha receiver ¿cuould I use them in a 5.1 receiver when I buy it in future or will I have to buy 5 new speakers?

yes. and they would sound very good in stereo. your Yamaha has enough current power to drive them well and get the most out of them! later on they would do fine in a home th. setup. Im currently using them in a medium power 5-spk(4.1) 90 wpc stereo system. very happy with them.A bargain for quality recvd. Placement with these is NOT as critical as would be with less-defined speakers. i find 15' feet apart away from corners is good, but they have such a broad sound field adn wide dynamics its not critical as it would be with other designs. More flexible is good for now and the future.

You don't have to. I actually used these as my rear surround and the TSi400's for the front and a cs-10 for the center. But I'm sure 4 of these and a sub would sound excellent. If you want the full "5.1" you'll need a center speaker. 5.1 = 5 (speakers) .1 (subwoofer) roughly

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

These speakers are not designed for your two main (front) speakers on your sound system, or home theater system (unless in a very small room, such as a dorm room, etc). These speakers are best used for your rear or side speakers in a surround sound setup. If you opt to use them as your main speakers, you could add a subwoofer directly to the receiver to give added bass output to the system. However, again, unless the room is small, these would not be the best choice for your 2 main speakers.

Hi Gonzalez, The amp says it is 5.1 that means 2 front speakers, 2 back speakers a center speaker (2+2+1=5) and a subwoofer (.1) You can be sure that there is a subwoofer out in the receiver. Hope this helps!

You can run 5.1 on it and either upgrade to 7.1 later or hook speakers up to Zone 2 and use them elsewhere.

Susan, I originally bought a pair with the sub woofer. I then wanted to do a 5.1 home theather and added another pair without the sub woofer. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR414. Works great!

Yes. As long as you have a receiver that does at least 5.1. Plus you need to make sure the inputs for the sub match the inputs for the receiver. Otherwise you may need some adapters to get it to work. I use 4 of these with one center channel being a different Yamaha and it sounds great. My family just visited this weekend and commented about how awesome it was.

7.1 has nothing to do with this system, you just get two additional speakers (of the same brand or different brand) and connect to your receiver to make 7.1 from 5.1

These speakers are efficient enough to work with either receiver. Would make a nice front pair for 5.1 or stereo. I use mine in a stereo setup that offers about 20 watts which is way less tha the onkyo u are looking at. I kind of prefer a stereo setup with a subwoofer rather than 5.1. I can get accurate sound for not near as much money but that is just me. I have had 5.1 but found a good digital integrated amp with a great DAC, good speakers and sub was affordable whereas the same kind of quality in 5.1 was far beyond my budget. If I want the movie experience, I go to a movie. Hmmm.

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.

Hopefully you have a "B" output on your receiver. Send the output to the input of the Pyle and connect your speakers. That is for 2 channel. If you want 5.1 I don't thing that will work. Good Luck

Yes you can. The speakers are individual units so if you needed more you could buy more. For example, I have a 5.1 setup connected to a Dolby Digital 7.1 receiver to which I also have connected two 12" Polk Audio subwoofers. I hope this helps!

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.

My 2 cents - If you just fried up the Bose 3-2-1, just get a new receiver and you should be able to use the speakers in 3-2-1 mode. ORGo to BJ's or Samsclub. My local BJ's has a Bose 3-2-1 or an Bose 3-2-1 like system with Bose speakers and Onkyo receiver (2.1channel only), for 400 dollars.

You can use this player with your 5.1 receiver. You need to go into the player's audio setup menu and set the surround back channel to "None." The player will then only output to the 5.1 analogs (just leave the surround back analog connectors unused). This is what am doing.
