Can I use this as front speakers with Marantz NR1504 a/v receiver?

Dear Sony,Absolutely! There are also great options for matching center speaker, rears, and subwoofer!Eric C

Absolutely. Great speakers. For the current price I don't know of any others that can compare. I advise you buy them before they're gone.

Bear, These do not send sound straight at you so they normally would not be the best choice as your front speakers. Eric C

The Marantz PM6005 will work terrific with the Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers! However, a subwoofer is highly recommended with those speakers.

As long as your external speakers have regular a/v components then that should work. You're speakers should have the Red/White inputs.

You should be able to. They are wire connected so as long as other speakers could be driven by relatively low output of the receiver they should work. The speakers that come with this system are just fine for a bookshelf system however.

I really haven't tried that kind of setup. I only use the speakers myself but I don't see why you couldn't use both. You might want to contact a Pioneer repersentive or retailer in your area, I'm sure they would know.

I guess you could since I think that the AVR only provided 90 watts/channel. However these inexpensive speakers don't deliver really robust bass that you might want in rear speakers.

Well ' yes I assume you can -Because I actually have a Pair of rather expensive 4-ohms I'm running for front left and right mains.. I have had receivers in the past that will give you the option of switching the ohm requirements in the main menu-- The 515 does not have this.. I'm thinking that in this day and age all of these receivers should be what we call 4-ohm compatable.. So in other words years and years ago if you had a set of speakers that would ever drop below a 4 ohm load-- You could actually damage the receiver.. I just don't see that as a problem any more.. So I havn't had any problems yet..- Thanks-- Frank Well ' yes I assume you can -Because I actually have a Pair of rather expensive 4-ohms I'm running for front left and right mains..

Dear Mustapha, Thank you for your inquiry. They are both great receivers. Based on amplifier quality I would probably give a slight edge to the Marantz AV8801. Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance! Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I don't believe it will work as part of a surround sound setup. The input is optical and so I don't believe you can setup the amp to output via the optical port the centre speaker.

I am not an expert , but as far as I KnowYou have to check if the Marantz can Stand your speaker potency! It is a very good Amplifier , but with a limited potency!

Although I use it for the rear speaker setup I'm sure it will work just fine for a front connection. My setup is a 7.1 arrangement.

Sure no problem! I know my Onkyo is hdmi 1.3a and as I said, i've had no issues so I bet it would work just fine through your Marantz. Good luck!

It will blend well with almost any front speakers. With the Andrew Jones bookshelf just set the crossover about sixty hz and see how it sounds. It sounds seemed with my definitively technology sm450 bookshelf monitors

I gotta say as a center channel- it is a great sounding speaker. However, not sure I'd use them as mains. Maybe if you use them as front surrounds? I guess it depends on your setup.

Yes you can do this. You would connect the pre-out jacks of the Marantz to the inputs of the amplifier using RCA connectors. Be careful when buying the amplifier as they can have a different number of pre-outs. For example, for my set-up I only wanted to power a single pair of main speakers, so I bought an amplifier with two input jacks - one for the left speaker and one for the right speaker. If you plan on using your amplifier to power not only your main pair of speakers, but also surround speakers, height speakers, width speakers, etc., then you will have to buy an amplifier with enough input jacks to handle all of the speakers you want to power. My amplifier is a Motiva -2 which means it has two input jacks to power two speakers (a pair of main speakers). Motiva also sells Motiva - 3 to power a pair of main speakers and a center speaker, Motiva- 4 to power a pair of main speakers and a pair of surround speakers, etc. Good luck, it is not really hard to connect your Marantz to an amplifier if you just read the documentation - John in Las Vegas.

If you are installing only two front and two rear speakers they should work fine. If you are planning a 5:1 surround system they do not perform well as center channel speakers.
