In the previous response I hit yes by accident. I am not sure what you are asking because this is an adapter that you use on some Bose products if you have bare speaker wire. The bare wire could be coming from a receiver, amplifier or whatever you are using to power the speaker. Whatever it is, you will need bare speaker wire coming from that electronic item going into this adapter which will be connected to the back of the Bose speaker. So to answer your question no you don't have to have a receiver to use the adapter but you will need something that use bare speaker wire to power the Bose speakers. Hope this helps with your question.

These are for the Bose Jewel Cube speakers that come with the Bose Lifestyle system. You wouldn't want to use anything other than Bose Jewel Cubes with the Lifestyle system. The connector here is Bose propriatary and would not work with any other speaker.

You can use a sub-woofer in conjunction with this pair of speakers, but not without a receiver. There is no port that would allow you to directly link the two. Further, the speakers are not powered (they're passive) and require a power source (receiver) to function.

The receiver can be used in a 5.1 environment. That is currently what I have. The setup procedure will detect which speakers you have attached.

These are passive speakers, not a stereo system. Must be connected to an amplifier or receiver

No. You'd need an external preamp if your receiver (or whatever device receiving the turntable output) doesn't have an internal preamp.

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

Yes. This receiver is pretty strong and it works fine with my speakers system.

I don't see why not. As long as you're hooking the receiver up to it via HDMI. You will need external speakers though.

It will depend on the type of connections that your Receiver has. If it has enough for 1 Right Front, 1 Right Rear, 1 Left Front, 1 Left Rear, Middle, and Sub it should work. The Speakers do not come with much wire either.

I am familiar with that specific receiver, however, if it has Bluetooth capabilities it should be able to connect with speaker. Keep it mind that this a small speaker with good sound quality , yet it is not a replacement for a main speaker system.

There is an analog out and an optical out... either running RCAs or optical cable. The unit doesn't have enough power to run speakers on it's own... that is why a separate receiver is needed. If you have a set of powered computer speakers with a volume that is also another option as long as it has RCAs or optical in!!

This isn't really a receiver as understood as a component of a stereo system, it is a signal reciever for the wireless microphones which then uses a cable to send the mic signal to a real receiver. This provides enough power to provide a decent quality of signal, but to power speakers you need either powered speakers or a receiver/powered amp to provide power to your speakers. I hope this helps.

It just outputs signals. There is no power amplification for speakers, so yes, you need an AV receiver or some amplifier of some sort.

You could use RCA out (red and white connectors) on your stereo receiver to the RCA input on the amp. Because it doesn't have speaker binding posts you can't use it to replace an amp in your system, per se, of course there are workarounds, but as a headphone amp for a CD, SACD, digital stream, etc., through your stereo receiver it should work beautifully. Hope that helps.~Christian

You would need a receiver. I would recommend either Yamaha or Denon budget around $300 - $500
