I already have a Receiver, how do I know my speakers will be compatible?

Question

I have a Sony STR-DG910 7.1 receiver and a Philips DVD player. I want to do a 5.1 speaker configuration in my apartment room with a subwoofer. I don't want to buy some speakers that will not hook into my receiver. How can I be sure that my speakers will hook in properly with the receiver I already have?

Answer 1

Any surround sound speakers you find at places like Best Buy like Bose, Sony, etc. will work fine.

Answer 2

When choosing speakers they are all about preferrence and your knowledge about sound (music/movie) If youre knowledgable about music/movie, than you might  already have something in your mine. If not, than a mini 4inches speaker for left/right main and two more for surround is sufficient, plus any size(watts) centre and add them together with your sub. They are just fine.

Answer 3

Are you just asking about the connections?

Most speakers have either 5-way binding posts or spring clips.

You can just strip 1/8 in speaker wire and insert, or buy the dual banana plugs from Radio Shack to make a neat connection.

Answer 4

Make sure to use the proper impedance for speakers
