Energy C-5 Connoisseur Series speakers

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

So my brother has a couple Energy C-5 speakers. I have been wanting to set them up. I know nothing about speaker systems but instead just know about headphones (and even my knowledge in that is amateur considering I have not even been here a year). I am assuming they will need an amp. Would a receiver made for a home theatre system work? I am hoping to set it up through my computer and then setup his (my brother) computer for it too. 

 

I can update what kind of receiver I have but cannot right now because I am sitting in Union Station in Toronto. I am really excited to set these speakers up and I want to do the best job possible, taking into consideration the dimensions of the room and all other factors that can affect the sound. Anyone have suggestions as to where I can look to do some research or any input that would be helpful? Thanks for taking the time to read my thread and I appreciate any positive/constructive feedback I receive! :)

They will need an amp, and a receiver will work fine. The receiver most likely can decode most if not all audio codecs output by a pc. Go to  the speaker, amp/receiver, and htpc forums at http://avsforum.com/avs-vb/ for more information

Is head-fi not the appropriate place to discuss speaker systems (no sarcasm intended or anything, really)?

I would't say it's not appropriate, and one occasionally sees speaker threads, however it is called head-fi because it is a headphone oriented forum. There is much more discussion about speakers over at AVSforum and you will probably get many more knowledgeable eyeballs on your question than you will here.
