Will this receiver transfer audio to power rated 3Watt wall speakers with the same quality and power or I will be losing and need to get an amplifier?

Unless your speaker have a built in amp with volume controls it won't work. The receiver's output is standard low-level audio and requires an amplifier. Hope this answers your question.

this device is simply a receiver, you need an amplifier. I plug it into the AUX audio jack on the back of my stereo.. Range is kinda disappointing, like 15' line of sight.

Hi, this is passive PA Speaker. To use them need an amplifier or receiver. Recommended amplifier power 70W

Not really. Choose an amplifier with power more closely matching that of the speakers. The amplifier can be as much as about 50% more than the speakers rated power requirements. You are more likely to damage your speakers by under-powering them due to signal clipping. Not that this amplifier would damage your speakers, but you would be disappointed by the diminished performance. This amplifier is a 45 watt x 2 channel output. You only get 90 watts output by combining the two channels. You would then have two speakers in MONO (not stereo) at 90 watts maximum.

Just use speaker cable to hook up to receiver/amplifier. Speakers draw power from amplifier so no power cable needed.

Hi Michele, It depends on the impedance of your speakers. Here are the amplifier section details of this receiver:Minimum RMS Output Power (*1): 95 W + 95 W (6 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, THD 0.09%)Stereo Mode Output Power (*1): 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 1%)Surround Mode Output Power (*1)(*2): 150 W per channel (6 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 0.9%)-Anthony

Since these are mid-size speakers, they really don't require a lot of power to sound great. Even 50W per channel for two channels is plenty. I'd shop around and decide based on what else you'll be using a receiver for, such as video. If audio is all you want/need then finding an amp should be a cinch. Onkyo, Pioneer and Harman Kardon would all be great choices for these speakers, it will just come down to personal taste and preference, as well as price considerations. Hope that helps and good luck!

Yes, you want speakers that are rated at 100 watts each or more. This receiver is set up to conveniently drive two pairs of speakers. You want all speakers to be rated at 100 watts or more. There is no advantage to getting speakers rated much higher than 100 watts either, so try to find 100, 120 or maybe even 150 watt speakers for this, nothing higher.

My comment is that I agree that underpowered receivers or amps will easily damage your speakers. I learned the hard way when I was a teenager 25 years ago and the receivers I used then blew tweeters. Then I bought a Carver amp and felt the difference. At this time, I have Carver amps driving L/R/C/Sub Channels on my system. It is safer to have a 250RMS Watts per channel amp than a 40watt receiver.

My Receiver is 125 Watts per channel. I've never even come close to full volume because the speakers are so powerful. You want to crank your stereo then go for it with no worries.

it should no problem, it's not a powered device itself. all this does a split the power you currently have coming from your receiver

If your receiver has enough power (say at least 120 Watts per channel) it should be okay to hook it up to the receiver.

yes, this is the receiver I am using, it sounds great, but you may want to get a powered sub...

The receiver needs to connect to your sound system and, yes, needs to be physically connected to a power source and your speakers. I use mine at school through our soundboard, so don't know if it hooks directly to the speakers.

Sounds like it'll be slightly under-powered. It's always better (IMO) to overpower speakers to avoid blowing them at odd frequencies and high volumes. Power is exponentially more important than quality of speakers. Cheap speakers will sound great with an awesome power source but great speakers won't live up to their potential with inadequate or overrated ( cheap) power/amplifiers. My suggestion is overpowering your speakers about 15-20% more than the speakers are rated for. Won't matter if you don't "work" your speakers hard but under powering effects rebound of the speaker cone and can tear them apart. I believe these speakers are rated for either 125w or 150w. I matched mine up perfectly and wish I would have gotten a bigger amplifier, although they sound great but begin to struggle at very high volumes. It'll be fine if you don't abuse your speakers though.

You will need a receiver to power the speakers. They are perfect for surround application .

It just outputs signals. There is no power amplification for speakers, so yes, you need an AV receiver or some amplifier of some sort.

Also I purchased amplifier/splitter from Home Depot, NOT the expensive Winegard amplifier. Works pretty well, but for 15 miles regular power station, you probably don't need that.
