Can the CS20 be used with a Yamaha RXV573 805 watt, 7.1 channel receiver? We moved into a home with front and rear speakers in the ceiling. I know that they're Yamaha, but have no other specifics. I haven't yet selected a subwoofer, and have yet to...

I don't see that as a problem. I have my CS20 hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V671 which has about the same output. Should sound great!

BTW - only the sub is from the old system. I have a set of Yamaha's for the r/c/l set-up. :)

If you go out to the Yamaha US website, they do a side by side comparison of the two. Try this link: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/?selected=372793_372783_&mode;=compare

Yes. As long as you have a receiver that does at least 5.1. Plus you need to make sure the inputs for the sub match the inputs for the receiver. Otherwise you may need some adapters to get it to work. I use 4 of these with one center channel being a different Yamaha and it sounds great. My family just visited this weekend and commented about how awesome it was.

Yes, this will work for non-yamaha receivers. You can plug it into anything that has a coaxial digital input. That is the orange leed you see in the picture. The other black leed you see is the power supply.

Sorry for the late response but yes, the way you just said it is correct. Due to the special connection of the Bose subwoofer, it cannot be used with any other receivers.

Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2. Will you do this and also add two Pioneer speakers for the rear, and 3. will you only use the Pioneers for the front? Actually, all three cases will be fine, if you have more than twenty watts power or so for the fronts and not too many sound absorbing rugs and window curtains. I have found the two Pioneer speakers to do very well with movie dialogue when I got rid (!!!) of my 5.1 receiver!!! I actually enjoy my movies as stereo! What objections this will raise from some! Yours, Churchorganist. Dear Steven, three questions to you would be: 1. Will you use a sub-woofer and a center speaker?2.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

I am using a Yahama YSTSW012- 45 watt powered sub woofer. It is 11.25 inches high. It will rattle the walls if you want it too. I had the Yamaha and decided to use it and not get a new one.

G'day TechnoTom, The Cerwin-Vega VE-5C 2-Way Center Channel is a great speaker for its value; it will run with no issues with your RXV 473. It is a little bright; but the vocal clarity is sweet. The Cerwin-Vega VE-5C has a peak of 150 watts; your RXV with 80 watts per channel can cope and it will be good enough. Good luck mate. Cheers

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.

I am using a Pioneer 7-channel receiver whose model number is VSX 816 I bought 7 years ago. These Bose speakers run well with this receiver. If you want more bass, you can buy an additional sub woofer for perfect sound.

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.

Can it, yes. The real question is, should it. What is the rest of the system and what is your overall goal. I have discovered that mixing speaker (especially across the front) can cause issues. I am using Polk Rti's across the front and staging is seamless. When I had the CS20 between the RtiA9's, the center was noticeably brighter compared the left and right.

I am not sure. The paperwork does not answer the questions. My "main item" is a Yamaha RX-V773WA which theoretically draws up approx. 400-500w. All my switched items (amps, fans, etc.) are low wattage except for an old Adcom amp which draws up to 500 watts.Mine works perfectly even though the Yamaha, like all modern receivers, draws a little wattage when off.

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.
