How do i connect some kef floor standing speakers to my samsung LCD TV?

Question

i have kef speakers and whant to put them to my tv. but do i need an amp and how do i connect the amp to my tv?

Answer 1

you will need a amp/receiver the Sony STRDG510 is a good choice at £199.99 at richer sounds if you can afford it go for the onkyo tx sr605 at £399.99 both have hdmi inputs and out

you better off getting a good amp/receiver to make use of the kef floor standing speaker to its full potential. I have the Kef Q7 floorstanding connected to the onkyo 605 and they sound superb.

as for hdmi connect 1 from your dvd/blu ray player to the receiver then hdmi out to your tv.

some amp/receivers will need the hdmi and optical cable to get picture and sound. The onkyo do both from the hdmi.

Also banana plugs to attach the speaker cables to your receiver. Cost about £5.00 a pair or go to ebay you will get some good ones on there  10 plugs for less than £7

Good luck with your choice

Answer 2

Yup, you will need an AV receiver to power those Kef speakers.

Answer 3

You need an amp.  Any receiver would work.  If you have a cable box, you connect the cable box to the receiver through the audio out or the digital out (if your receiver has a digital in).  You can use any input of the receiver except the phone input.  Just remember which input you used and set the receiver to that source.

If you don't have a cable box, see if your TV has audio out.  If so, just connect the audio out to the receiver.  If your TV only has digital audio out, you'll need a receiver that accepts the type of cable your tv's digital out uses, usually coax or TOSLINK.

Answer 4

You need a receiver.  You need to plug in the speakers to the receiver then the receiver to TV via RCA, component or HDMI.
