We currently have older Marantz speakers that work great but they use the old wire clamps so how would they work with this receiver?

I'm it sure what you are asking. The wires could just be cut and exposed to fit the connectors.

The old fashioned speaker wire works just fine. You can use banana plugs or screw tighten the copper wire.

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

Yes it will work for 4 ohms speaker Less than 60 watts per channel Unit is very bad, pictures looks awsome But not real function Better to get vintage receiver for $50 It will way better than this Good luck

Garrett- I went to a local stereo shop and bought a high quality speaker wire. But any speaker wire will work. The better the quality the better the sound though. Hope this helps.

There are screw terminals for the speaker wires. You unscrew the binding post, put the bare speaker wire into the connector, and using your fingers tighten the binding post down on each wire.

Thanks, Daniel. I got 12-gauge speaker wire from monoprice and it works wonders :)

I have a Yamaha reciever and had a pos/neg 2 wire setup and no problems. As long as you have center channel setup.

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.

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.

The connection points to the receiver are proprietary, the connection points to the speaker are hardwired. If the speaker blows you can splice a regular speaker wire to the connector and as long as the replacement speaker matches impedance you should be fine.

Nope bare speaker wire works too. Thats how mine is rigged up. Sounds great on a pair of decent bookshelf speakers.

My speakers hook to an amp, that has the same connects as the speakers, so I used regular speaker wire. If yours has jacks, I have used cables that had the proper jack, and cut of the jacks on the opposite end, to hook the speaker.

It should work fine with the old receiver. I would not guarantee that it would, though.

Your speaker wires still go to the receiver...The pre-amp is only for your turntable...

The wiring that it comes with can be used but will be difficult. My step brother had to cut the connections since they did not match but he soldered the speaker wires to the wires going to the truck and that worked... the set does come with wire clamps but I feel that soldering is better. Also make sure your buying the right size speakers, I have an 04 Colorado and I should have bought 7" speakers but I bought the 6.5" by accident. So be sure to double check.

The single important thing is that you wire both speakers identically. If you use the wire with a white stripe on the red terminal of the speaker and receiver on one side, do the exact same thing on the other side so that you don't have your speakers out of phase. That will cause you to have muddied sound because the speakers will be fighting each other.

Wires are attached to the speakers. You do not need any wire unless you need the speakers to be further away from the receiver (or run through a wall), in that case you will have to get some wire and do some cutting and splicing.
