Q: Could you use these speakers in a 5.1.4 as fronts and rears,or one of your other speakers as the fronts or rears, will be using a denon 3800 or 4800 recevier.Any help would be great.Thanks... Phil..?

A: Hello PGANT, You can certainly use these as fronts and rears provided you have the space and stands for them. There would be no issue having them powered by a Denon receiver such as the 3800 or 4800 as well. This would work wonderfully.

Q: For the speakers, they come as is without any cords or amp. I purchased a CDA-4D from B&O, but aren't fully sure how to actually hook everything up. What cords or accessories will I be needing to hook these up to a 16" Macbook (via USB-C or aux).

A: Hello. The CDA-4D is a custom installation distribution power amplifier, and may not be the best option for your system. It requires you add a pre-amplifier to connect your sources to. A better option would be to go with a Marantz Model 40n or a Marantz M1, as they both fit neatly between your computer and the 706S3s, offer a good set of analog and digital inputs to work with and are easier to operate and set-up given your requirements. Either way, 12, 14 or 16 gauge copper speaker wire of the length you need will be required. We recommend Audioquest for this purpose. For more information, I recommend speaking with a Best Buy Home Audio expert.

Q: Hi Want to confirm price is for 2 speakers - Thanks

A: Best Buy indicates that the price is for a pair of speakers in the description "700 Series 3 Bookshelf Speaker with 1" Tweeter and 6.5" Midbass (Pair) - White."

Q: Are you able to hang them on the wall for rear speakers?

A: Hello, These are able to be used as rear speakers, but we do not design any wall mounts for these speakers and these speakers are meant to sit on a stable surface like the dedicated speaker stands.
