QuestionI have a home audio system, original speakers are not working, I would like to replace them with these Sony bookshelf speakers. How do I connect these speakers after I disconnect old speakers? Do you provider home service with purchase? Thank you
Asked 5 years ago by islandgirl1.
- Answer Hi islandgirl1, make sure that your home audio system supports 6 ohm speakers. You can connect these speakers via standard speaker wires. Please refer to this link for more information: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4533/45336590M.pdf You may check with Best Buy for installation options. ~Ralph

QuestionAre these speakers suitable to be used as Surrounds in a 5.1 system?
Asked 5 years ago by Imatekkie.
- Answer Yes. For best performance you’ll have to ensure that your AV receiver can push enough power. These speakers won’t need crazy amounts of power and are relatively easy to drive. I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-LX304 9 channel and am running these bookshelves for my fronts and rear surrounds. I have the matching center channel. Also running 4 Atmos speakers for a 5.2.4 setup. In a 2.1 and 3.1 setup, it’s plenty for power for great music for me. It’s clear, nice highs, and a small subwoofer is enough to round out the low notes. In the full 5.2.4 surround sound with Atmos, I have an ideal home theater for all my movie watching.

QuestionHello! I ordered at Nobsound Little Bear G5 Mini Digital Power Amplifier to use with my SS CS5s. What RCA cables do you recommend? I cannot seem to find ones that will fit with the speakers.
Asked 5 years ago by JustJost.
- Answer There aren't any RCA cables for these speakers. They're not powered monitors so they need to be connected to a source with Speaker Cable. You can use banana plugs at the end of your speaker wires to plug in more like RCA cables, but RCA cables aren't what you use for these. I would suggest these if you want an all in one solution and aren't used to making your own cables. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Speaker-Cable-Gold-Plated-Banana/dp/B07FDCGP9Q/ref=sr_1_13?crid=2SQEV9TN4O67H&dchild=1&keywords=banana+plugs&qid=1591690049&s=electronics&sprefix=Banan%2Celectronics%2C202&sr=1-13 I usually buy 100 ft spools of speaker wire, and build my own cables, but it's not necessary.

QuestionMy listening area is split by walls so I want to put speakers on the ither side of the wall for better sound in that area. I have a bose radio/CD player. I would also like to amplify the sound from my TV so would love to be able to combine these needs.
Asked 5 years ago by Christine.
- Answer I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but I'll take a shot with what you've typed. I think your best bet is to get a multi-zone surround sound receiver. and have wire run through the wall as your second zone. A surround sound receiver should be able to accommodate the signal from your TV, CD-Player, and anything else you want to play through it while providing ample amplification for as many speakers as you want. You don't have to use all of the channels on the amplifier. With the vagueness of your question I'd suggest having a professional come help set everything up. I think you might be better off getting an independent home audio/home theater technician for your job unless your Best Buy in your area has a specific home theater/audio technician that they work with since it sounds a bit more involved than the average job I've seen geek squad sent out for. To make the wiring job easier I've suggested a Denon Heos reciever and Heos link box which can expand into your other listening area on the other side of the wall if you want to try this without a professional installer and are comfortable with setting everything up yourself. The Heos link box should be able to receive the signal from the main receiver and amplify the signal on the other side of the wall without having to wire between the walls.
  I would recommend:

  - Denon - Heos 5.1-Ch. With HEOS 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Receiver - Gun Metal Silver

QuestionWill these speakers work with a Panasonic SA-HM32 Compact Audio System?
Asked 5 years ago by Bootsie.
- Answer Yes because the Panasonic SA-HM32 uses standard speaker wire terminals on the receiver/amplifier side these should work quite well since they are passive speakers designed to be hooked up with standard speaker wire to an amplifier/receiver.

QuestionWill a Kenwood ka 1400g receiver work on this trying to hook my turntable up to receiver then these speakers but getting horrible noise most likely the receiver it’s from the 70s the speaker wire is hard to wrap on it
Asked 5 years ago by Glen.
- Answer Any receiver should work with these as long as it uses standard speaker cable. Check your speaker wire termination to make sure everything is in the terminal correctly. If you are wrapping wire at the speaker terminals I'd advise against it. They're made to have the wire twisted, and poked into the post hole that opens when you loosen the collar then you just tighten the collar again once the wire is in place if you're going with bare wire. Otherwise you can use banana plugs, and remove the dust covers from the ends to utilize those.

Questionwill these speakers work with a samsung 27" TV
Asked 5 years ago by THEGREEK.
- Answer As long as you have speaker terminal outputs or have a receiver for the TV. I would suggest running an external receiver since these are passive speakers, and most TV's that size do not have amplified speaker outputs. If you think you want to eventually build a surround sound system I would suggest getting a Onkyo or Dennon receiver, and adding speakers as you go along. If you only want Stereo audio I would suggest getting a FiiO d3(also listed as the FiiO Taishan) and a Yamaha 200w Stereo receiver. If you go the Yamaha route you will probably have to buy the FiiO from another source, but it will convert optical audio to RCA which you will need to send signal to the Stereo receiver.

QuestionCan you stack one speaker on top of the other one?
Asked 5 years ago by SanJosePhotoNut.
- Answer Sure, in the sense that any rectangular speakers that have flat top/bottom can be stacked. But a few thoughts: 1)You should consider a vibration absorbing mat (like a rubber shelf liner) between them so the vibration is absorbed to help prevent movement and damage to the speaker. These speakers don't put out a lot of base so they shouldn't vibrate too badly (I use a subwoofer with them). 2) You would loose stereo separation, obviously. 3) You might consider putting them on their side rather than top/bottom to help stability and help stereo separation by putting the tweeters on opposite sides. This takes a little more shelf space but less height.
