I got an akai as-980 quadraphonic reciever. It works but I know nothing about the speaker system. They have to have 4 wires I'd guess because there are 6 speaker inputs with 4 plugs for each speaker. What are they called and are these speakers hard to find? Cam anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, Matt
hi matt hippie.the akai as-980 is a four channel stereo tuner/amplifier the four speaker plug/connectors are for connecting your speakers in a way what they called matrix four channel stereo.and the two speaker plug/connectors are for a two channel stereo connectionso you can run these speakers either way as i've just explained.hope this helps you out in some way matt and merry xmas!
Look at the Onkyo HT-S3400, it is a receiver with a set of speakers. Demo it at your local Fry's Electronic and it goes for under $400. Hope this will help you out.
