Question 1

How di I connectthese to my TV?  Each speaker has a red + and black - input.  The TV has  2 "audio out" jacks, one red and one white.

Accepted Answer

You have to have a small amplifier to go between the TV and the speakers. I like the line of "Lepai" small amps like the 2020. Under $20 I believe.

Question 2

What is the Rms of the speakers? It only tells me the Peak is 200. But that doesn't always mean that the rms power is 100

Accepted Answer

Probably closer to 20 watts RMS.  I'm using a Lepai mini amp with 10 watts each channel and can't get these to audibly distort at unity, and amp at full blast.  I'm willing to bet they will catch fire if you try to test the peak at 200.  They aren't very pleasant sounding, so I can't imagine why anyone would want to get 100 watts of sound out of these anyway.  The only proper place for these are rear speakers on a home theater system, you don't want to use these as mains.

Question 3

How do I pick the right amp for these? I want to use them with an hdtv.

Accepted Answer

I really don't recommend these speakers unless you're planning on only watching the news on your HDTV.  They sound so horrible, they won't be sufficient for your movie watching experience.  Even speech sound less intelligible through these speakers.That said, if you are stuck with these, buy yourself the Lepai LP-2020A+.  Look out for ripoffs, there are lots of clones, and I've bought most of them.  The brand Lvpin seems to be at least the same circuitry, and sounds exactly to the original, though the build is a bit lower in quality.  Make sure the unit comes with it's own power supply.The LP-2020A+ delivers around 10 watts per channel before noticeable distortion on an 8 ohm load and is really one of the nicest sounding personal amplifiers you can buy for a bookshelf system.  BTW the PCB4 claims to peak at 200 watts, but this is a complete false statement.  It will probably catch fire if you attempt to put 200 watts through it.  In a home theater situation 10 watts will probably be just right for a desirable movie experience, and half that for jamming to music at your computer desk.  If you need more sound to fill a bigger area, you're going to need bigger speakers and corresponding amp, or perhaps add a subwoofer to fill the low frequencies in.So say a system with the Pyle speakers and Lepai amp would fill a smaller living room, about 12' x 12'.  Any bigger than that, you're going to need to consider getting a sub or bigger (and nicer sounding) cabinets.Hope that helps!

Question 4

Will these speakers work on a stereo?

Accepted Answer

Can you bypass the amp, and use my stereo amp?
