hi,
I used to use creative sbs A520 model 5.1 computer speakers along with my TV.
pic attached.
I have recently upgraded to Denon AVR 1500 receiver with Q acoustic bookshelf speakers.
Since I have planned to add subwoofer later on, I thought of reusing the subwoofer from Creative speakers in meanwhile.
The creative speakers only have 3.5mm audio jack as input.
So I configured Denon AVR with Front Speaker configuration as A+B. That means it shall output extra stereo output (left + right) on 2 channels.
using a 3.5mm jack to bare wire connector, I have connected the 2 channels of AVR to Creative speakers.
and Voila, IT WORKS...
It may not be as good as a stand alone subwoofer, but it works seemlessly.
I am only worried if it can cause any issues to avr, since I am driving full-level audio output (instead of pre-amp outputs) from avr to active speakers directly.
Any suggestions or critics are most welcome.
