A:Answer Hello Heritage, thanks for your interest in the Companion 2 Series III Multimedia Speaker System! This is a great question, and I'm glad to help. This model is not engineered to connect with a stereo receiver, as it is intended to connect directly to a computer. The speakers are powered by a standard wall outlet. For your interests, I would recommend a product such as the Bose 161 Bookshelf speakers. This pair of speakers can handle up to 100 watts per channel from your receiver, and deliver crisp, detailed audio. These are available through other online retailers, and I think you would really enjoy them. Hope this helps! Jesse - Bose Support
