Would my two AR14 speakers work well with this receiver? Do I need to get a separate subwoofer?

Like mentioned previously it depends, i dont know enough about your (Acoustic Research?) AR14 speakers i think they are some vintage speakers, just make sure they're 6ohm or higher rated, then you should be completely ok runnin them off this receiver, the speakers you have should be able to give you full range sound without a subwoofer (given you dont need your floors to shake when you listen to music) Just make sure you set that up correctly for Stereo use only and full frequency crossover setup via the Yamaha menu options.

Im not sure what AR 14 speakers are, i use bose speakers and they work great with this stereo. subwoofer is your personal preference, if you like the extra bass go for it ! I do use a subwoofer but not a necessity.

The receiver will work with just the two speakers, but does not sound as good without the subwoofer I turned off my subwoofer and put it on 2ch stereo to hear the difference and I would recommend getting the subwoofer if you want the better sound but if you don't want to get one it wiil still work fine. You should also think about getting 2 more speakers to get the whole surround sound with the subwoofer. I hope this helps.

Keeping it JBLs all the way would not be bad. Love JBLs, however in my opinion (and system) I prefer an infinity center speaker and one or two Sunfire (powered) Subwoffers the SR7007 has two sub outputs. But whatever you do keep the JBLs (or upgrade the JBLs) for front right and left.

yes, you will need a receiver or an amp to power the two speakers. the sub has an amp built in.

Not sure I will be of much help, as I am not certain what you are asking. However, the speakers simply function/act as any other speakers that you would hook up to your receiver.

It'd be better to get a 2 channel or 1 channe monol. This isn't exactly made for subwoofer. Look for 1600.2

You can get a sub cable at the electronics store and a splitter. It's. single on one in and red and white on the other. Plug the red and white into ur sub for better sound, then plug the sub cable into the sub connection in the back of the receiver. When u go into the menu of the receiver go into the manual select for speaker options and select 1 sub instead of two.

Just connect your left, center & right from your receiver with speaker wire. 14 gauge worked fine for me.

I like them. But, I like them a lot better with a separate subwoofer. I have a theater set up with two sets of these and a Polk subwoofer. I do like my all-Polk system better, but it was also more expensive.

Not sure which speakers you have, but your receiver looks like a brute, which makes me suspect that this little subwoofer might be a little wimpy for your setup. I'm using it with a Yamaha DSP-4100, which is a soundbar and I have a 12" B&W subwoofer to supplement for movie LFEs. Hope that helps.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

Not sure about sub-woofer. I drive two outdoor Yahama speakers. Works great.

Yes if your receiver has separate subwoofer Input that supports powered subwoofer it works ,this subwoofer is pretty good and generates nice base and sound

I just got the RF 82's too and paired them with the RS-52's. The RS-52's sound great with in the setup. These surrounds are like 2 bookshelves combined in a semi circle array. If you are willing to pay a little more for the 62's why not go for a little more power. I would say get a good center too at least RC-62 or above to make a good match.

You need a powered subwoofer. There is a pre-out (low power signal) on the receiver that connects via an RCA cable to the input of your powered sub. You can confirm this on the images on the Amazon listing.

it should sound pretty good. I prefer tower speakers and a sub but it's a good start. I am very satisfied with the receiver.

Of course it also depends on the source material and your speakers, but assuming your source music and downstream speakers are good, the receiver is powerful enough to produce pretty stong bass from a pair of decent speakers. The onboard EQ is also quite responsive. Also, since it has a subwoofer out connector, you can pretty much add any powered subwoofer you like. Overall I personally am very pleased with this receiver.

Absolutely yes! I did the same thing with my output of my theater receiver and the bass sounds much better running 2 subs. This particular splitter is great quality and very durable.
