I was given 4 really nice speakers and i dont have a way to hook them up to anything for music, tv, etc. i have 2 sub woofers and 2 mids. they have the older Black and and Red wires. I have no idea what to get for these and i need to know before Christmas because im broke!! Something that can have an iPod dock or be hooked into the tv as surround sound. PLEASE HELP!! I will try and put some pictures on but i cant promise. THANKS!!!! (i have the speakers obviously but i need a good system or thing that they all connect to. i dont know what its called oops..)

yes, a receiver is the thing. receiver that can do what's called 5.1 surround sound. yamaha and pioneer make entry level models for 230.00 dollars. simply put, you plug your boxes (game systems, cable/satellite box, dvd etc) into the receiver, you wire speaker outs with speaker wire (red and black) and you send the video out to the TV. it acts like a big switch, allowing you to listen to what ever you have plugged in.
if you have two subwoofers you might only be able to use one...
the receiver is a big black box, kinda heavy, sometimes with one or two large knobs and a screen to tell you what's playing and how loud it is. then you can buy a simple cable for the ipod, it has two different ends, one end plugs into the ipod and the other end has two plugs, one is red and one is white, these go in the back of the receiver and voila !!! kick butt sound from the ipod.
don't be afraid to spend on sound equipment, it's about the only electronics left where there's a huge difference between the best and the worst.

What speakers system goes best with a Yamaha RXV371?

Answer
Well there are two things to look for, you want to buy speakers that work well with the amplifier electrically, and complement then sonically. First you want to buy speakers that are closely rated to 8ohm impedance as yamaha receivers don't like to drive very difficult impedance loads, especially below 4 ohms. All speakers impedance will vary depending on design, but in most cases speakers that are rated with a 8ohm impedance should be fine.
Second Yamaha receivers tend to be a bit on the bright side of neutral sonically, so you want speakers that will not emphasize the brightness in the high frequency's, like Klipsch for example. Bright and bright make a bad combination, and even more so in a room without a lot of damping.
There are a number of speakers that both are easy to drive and are more on the warmer side of neutral that will sound just fine with your Yamaha receiver.
Speakers like Vandersteen, (which by the way are a great value sound wise)
