Here are some brand suggestions: Parasound, NAD, Rotel, Adcom, Emotiva (eh..) Anything that is high current (45amps peak +) and puts out 150w @ 4ohms or better. Current is more important than wattage, remember that.

Should work, any speaker will do. Note that it does need to be plugged in to a normal 110v plug. Topping and Amphony are worth looking at but I chose this one for the higher output. I am running a pair of Polk tower speakers just fine at reasonable volume.

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

what about speakers with 150-watt maximum input power? I'm a novice at this stuff

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

I'm looking at the Polk 50 soundbar now. I believe this is going to be the route I go with. Thanks for the input.

I'd stick with the same. Some amplifiers can operate "unsafely" I.e. overheating or crappy sound, if they can't produce the right impedance per whatever ohm each speaker has. I'd start from ground up if you're wanting bigger better sound

Any standard home audio receiver will work with these. As a general rule, more power is better, but these speakers are very efficient so they will play loud with any receiver from 50 watts up. I have mine on a 100 wpc Yamaha receiver in a 25 x 35' room, and it's more volume than we can stand.

Can you be more specific on how to hook up a subwoofer{with "speaker level outputs"} to the Onkyo?

I'd recommend Polk Audio Rti A1's. Might be a little more than 200.00 though and you'll need an amp. 200.00 budget for what you want is difficult. Unless you go with something used on e-prey. I've seen the Polk A1's here on amazon priced at 215.00. Get a low cost receiver/amp from Radio Shack or here on amazon and you're in business.

I suppose, if you find compatible speakers with similar connections. You'd have to see what you're working with to find which ones will work.

This is what I'm running and for the money you can't go wrong. Also dont be afraid to spend good money on your wire kit, its a big deal and will make all of your expensive stuff sound like crap if you dont use good gauge cable.

Yes you can hook up those speakers. The polk Pa660 is a 4 channel amp. I would recommend having 4 speakers hooked up to it at all times. Your gains only need to be at about half so you don't blow those little 8 OHM speakers out. The benefit of running 8 Ohm speakers on an amp like this, is that the amp will run a little cooler and not draw as much power. Cooler is also good because the amp will last longer. You will not need to use the crossover portion of the amp if all you are are running are these (polk audio atrium 8 SDI) speakers. Make sure your power connections are good using thick copper wire, running 8 ohm speakers 8 Gauge wire will work fine. Speakers connections are a simple positive to positive and negative to negative with a all four speakers.

Polk describes the speakers as being a 4-way tower speaker with three 5-1/4 inch drivers. Arranged in a MTMW configuration suggests the crossover is a 3-way, perhaps they claim a 4-way because it can be connected with a bi-amp capable receiver. I upgraded the xover with a VR3 Mod that replaced the stock components with higher quality ones. The upgrade was well worth it.

I asked the same question! It is a stand alone unit and has excellent sound output. Although initially I had hoped to incorporate in my other surround sound speakers, I am pleased with the Polk system. An alternative could be the Definitive Technology MYTHOS XTR-SSA3 unit that has receiver compatibility.

You can go for the Polk Audio TRiA Series because you could take advantage of its Bi-Amp feature. I personally use a pair of Floorstanding speakers, but the RTiAs are rock-solid!!

Anything that can deliver at least half of the recommended power which is 110 watts rms per speaker. I currently give them 50 watts rms and they sound great and are loud enough for me. Make sure the amplifier is CEA 2006 compliant. All of the information can be found on Crutchfield or sonic electronix. I recommend Alpine Mrv-F300 or something similar as it will be slightly cheaper than the PDX-V9 if your on a budget. If you can splurge a little more go for it and get a PDX-V9. Both amplifiers are a great buy in my opinion
