My MIL just needs some small speakers for her 90's vintage CD player and radio receiver. She wants to get rid of her 18" floor speakers. Good option?

Yes, I think the Sylvania speakers are a very good option. They have big sound for such small speakers. I wish I would have bought another set when they were on sale.

Well, I don't think they'll be quite as loud as 18" floor speakers, but they will sound good (it really depends on what application she will be using them for: music? movies? surround sound? etc.).

if she wants to save space and has the appropriate 3.5mm line in hookup on the cd player, its a decent option. it wont be as powerful, but they are nice for the price. i use it as surround sound in my studio for the tv. good luck!

I have mine connected to my turntable, tape deck, CD player and receiver, all of which are minimum of 20 years old or older and I have no problem. I take into consideration that these speakers are not top of the line Bose, but they do pretty well. I'm happy with them.

Jeanine, I have a 5.1 system (4 polk RC85i speakers (two on each side), once center speaker and the subwofer). My place is similar to yours. In my opinion your distribution could work very well...

I don't actually know but I think you need to just buy a turntable and amplifier and hook a CD player to your setup. I'm a granny too, but I think this is more state-of-the-art as it has an Ipod dock. I think you can find a better system for your needs.

You could purchase a matching tower to your left and right front channel speakersI have not noticed a tinny sound. But my room is smaller and I do not crank the volumeYou could also try a Polk or Klipsh(disclosure theypurchased Jamo and now mfg. that brand and line)Those would be at the lower range of cost between 2 and 3 hundredI still think matching is you best option

The speakers are good for their size. They're obviously not Bose quality but they fill up a room adequately. There are RCA outputs to hook up the turntable to an amp or receiver but no direct speaker hookups

For a room that size the 8040s would be much more suitable. My 8060s at times can be a little much in my 15 x 26 foot room. They sound amazing at every volume range and for a serious listener I highly recommend them.

David, A number of things come into play here. What kind of speakers are you using? What is the size of the room? This network product is primarily there to give you a lot of features for smaller speakers (only 60 watts) and to be a space saver. Eric C World Wide Stereo

Since this is not a high receiver, I would not invest a lot of money into high end speakers. Klipse or Polk Audio are good speakers for the price. Not too long ago Best Buy had Klipse speakers on a blowout floor special

Hello and thanks for the request. The speakers were too small for my needs however the plugin jacks were standard size. I hope this helps.

I would go and look but the speakers are at my other place. Nevertheless, the controls for pairing, volume, and tone are all on the rear of the speakers and I access the controls frequently rather than go inside to whatever I have them paired with. You would be better off with a wall shelf. I can tell that these speakers have great sound!

Thanks for the response. I can't find the same speakers from anyone and the one set I found were $105/pair used! I may end up with these from what I can tell. These are bookshelf speakers for use here in my basement.

Thanks for your question. There's no ideal size for a receiver. It depends on your room size. Klipsch speakers or Polk Audio speakers, for instance, would be a fine sounding match for it. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Denon dealer.

The speakers are not made for a large space. Imagine sitting at your computer and having the speakers excite the space within an area of 30 sq ft. In this area they are clear, with great definition. I have B&W; speakers that can handle 200 watts each and an REL Sub. These are made for a large room and at low gain fill the room. You would be better to get a pair of Senheisser or Grado headphones and plug them into the MM1 jack.

Is a shame because Bose speakers and Onkyo receiver for $357 is a very good deal. I was looking for something smaller because of lack of space but I'll consider this thanks a lot for your help

Not bad for the price, but there are much better options available. These will most likely be comparable to the current sound output.I would strongly recommend something with larger speakers and more power as well. A subwoofer is also nice to have. I would highly recommend an inexpensive or used hi-fi system over computer speakers for a TV. Even something like this would be better: Logitech Speaker System Z313
