can i use old speakers from a stereo and connect them to my new reciver? or do i need special speakers?.Thanks! :)
The speakers need to have the proper power rating and impedance. Also, for proper sound in your home theater, the speakers should be acoustically matched, especially the 3 front speakers.
If your stereo is one unit(all in one) and the speakers are hot wired to that unit, then no. If your stereo speakers and your new receiver are separates, then yes, move the speakers to your receiver. Then set your receiver's speaker setting to large. Real stereo speakers are always the large type.
