Unfortunately, while Raymond's response is technically correct, the system wouldn't make much sense. Most of the purpose of a receiver is defeated by doing this. It would just be a bizarre, barely functioning, patched together system.

To answer the last question, probably not. As I already said, many of the features of the receiver would be lost, such as surround modes, volume control and so on. You have the receiver. Do the logical thing and get unpowered speakers so you can use it. The sub will have to be powered, but the one in the Logitech set is not really a sub, despite the marketing.

I suggest you do more research and just read and learn before buying anything else. If you already bought the Logitech, take it back.

Maybe someone else will come in and explain everything from the beginning, but that will take too much for me to go into now.

Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost. Last edited by JohnRice : 04-22-2008 at 10:30 AM.
