Flames for general stupidity aside, I have a question.

Would it be possible to hook up the 950 to my Sony reciever through the 5.1 analog inputs? I know it's not a good solution, I'm asking if it would work...

Thanks

I suppose it would work - hey, who am I to judge what consenting adults do behind closed doors?

Actually, I've heard the question here before... Yes, it is possible. You will need to settle on a volume setting on the Sony and leave it there, then calibrate the speaker levels and control the volume at the 950 thereafter.

Whuttttt?
i don't even think Langstrom will be able to figure that one out.
really, i don't advise it. point in fact.
i once sold a harmon kardon e.q. to a couple who'd bought some really bad ....stuff.
tried to explain how this is really not the cure...her friends ..do it..do it..it'll fix it. she did it (she worked as an audio tech for theatre)...came in the next week...her sony amp wuz all blowed up...whut happened?
caveat emptor, mon amie

naw..really she blew it up and he didn't understand and i had to tell the boss why they were going mad in the store. believe me,we moved the maggies and the time windows really quick.
moral of the madness: don't do something..strange...that no one understands and that over 50% of the people will likely make fun of ... later.

You're telling me...

The guy over at Tweeter said this would work... more of an issue (regarding you telling me not to do this) is whether or not I could screw up the 950 by doing this? I really don't care that much about the Sony... (even though it is all I have right now...) 23, married, children... poor me. and if I *did* blow up the sony, I could persuade my wife to let me get an amp... so long as it wouldn't kill the 950...

oh fer god's sake. if you don't care about the receiver, do not blow up your new thing.(ok, i'm from mississippi...things are what you buy, stuff is under your finger nails).
again i say. do not hook these two units up. true, if you knew what you were doing...it might just work. pretend it's an atom bomb...and you jst paid a lot of money for it. do you really want to risk throwing your money away? I think not! save the sony, save the 950. drink some ...stuff...and think about it in the morning. is she really worth it?)(*&%$#@!! I hope so if you fry it all.
nuff said...(i hope)
Don't do it, dude!
