Can I use these in the back of any standard receiver, such as Onkyo 8050?

No I don't believe so. I have a Kenwood and it won't fit. I checked the user manual on the Onkyo and it did not indicated they could be used. Sure would be nice though.

I have an Onkyo TX-NR 509 and it fits perfectly. Not sure if the 8050 has the same kind of connections.

I do not know what type of connections are on that receiver, but if you have the spring loaded (ones where you must push a tab down to insert the wire) then no, it will not work. If you have the hexagon type of terminal it will if it has the hole in the middle to accept this plug.

Yes. You can look at the back of the Onkyo 8050 (2nd image on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-8050-Network-Stereo-Receiver/dp/B004UR486G). These plugs fit in the red and black posts marked as "Speakers".

These wires will work; they are designed for '3 way binding posts' which look like red/black circles on the rear of the speakers. The plugs on these wires go into the 'circles'; very easy! If your speakers only accept bare wire, the plugs on the wires easily remove by unscrewing revealing the bare copper strands. Your Onkyo has 3 way binding posts and are compatible with the banana plugs on the wires.

If your speaker connection on the receiver takes rca's, you can try it. in place of the center speaker. If it won't work it won't work.

I looked up you receiver and the terminals are the same as all the other name brands. I have an onkyo receiver and they fit just fine same speakers terminals in the receiver as the Sony. The only thing you will notice perhaps is the banana plugs may not go all the way in. Mine stick out about a 1/8 inch but they don't fall out. Hoped this helped these are great to connect your stereo with. Good luck.

I don't see why it would be a problem, unless you're very particular about the preciseness of your sound. I have an old pair of 5.2's paired with this center channel. Mine sounds great. As long as the receiver has a port for it you should be fine.

I don't see why not...As long as you have correct size receiver. I love mine!!

I use them with Behringer heavy speakers with no problem but to be safe contact the manufacturer

I have 2 of these and I've successfully used regular 3.5mm stereo extension cables on the receiver end, but haven't tried on the emitter end. I would think it would fine, though.

If you have a good Quality surround receiver(Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo ETC.), go ahead and use them with the receiver. It is designed to have a nice set of fronts. JIm

Yes, these speakers will work with any receiver in just about any position in the setup.

I think they can be mounted in the rear as long as there is sufficient room. If it is too small of a space, try the Pyle 5 1/4 size speakers instead.

these are designed for front and back channels. Would sound better if you had a center speaker. these make good surround sound speakers

I would assume so. Physically you can. The only thing I would be careful if making sure the speakers don't require too many watts. You don't want to overload the receiver trying to push speakers with wattage that is higher than it was designed for.

They can be used as standalone. Any receiver should work. 5.1 ones have modes for 2 speaker setup.

If I understand your question correctly, yes. I use mine with a Onkyo receiver. The transmitter is wired to the receiver and the speaker is at the rear of the room. My fronts and center are connected in the conventional wired manor. This is the only rear I use and it provides a very good effect all things considered.

I am using my pinoneer speakers which are about 15 years old. They sound great. So as long as you have any decent set of speakers, they will work fine with the receiver.
