Is there a way to connect external speakers to fives, like a surround sound?
Siddharth,
The Fives are able to use an external, powered subwoofer. These speakers were designed for stereo music listening, so there is no way to add surround speakers to the Fives system.
Can I pair the fives with the new the nines to make all 4 speakers sound from 1 hdmi?
Orr,
Thank you for your question. These systems are designed for stereo music listening, so there is not a way to connect the Fives to the Nines system or vice versa.
Can I connect a Marantz 2238b receiver to the fives? And connect my turntable using my Marantz receiver instead of connecting the turntable thru the fives.
Hi Rick,
Most likely yes, as long as your Marantz receiver has line level, non amplified outputs. Most likely those will be RCA jacks labeled as main pre output or tape out.
Thanks!
