Logitech Z5500 with RCA plug loadspeakers

[hnrk]

Hi.

I have a Logitech Z-5500 with RCA plug speaker connections. Can I replace the RCA plugs on the speaker cables and use the speakers on a regular Yamaha receiver with "twistie" or banana plug speaker connections? Or are these speakers special in some way (e.g. depend on a line signal and not a speaker signal)?

Thanks for any help.

Another way to ask (the other way around): Can I connect regular speakers to the RCA speaker plugs on the Z-5500?

Yes, you can reemplace the connectors

Yes ... but check the impadance of the speakers you wanna connect 😉

Thanks! I was able to use the Z-5500 speakers with my Yamaha RX-S600D A/V receiver by creating RCA to banana plug cables.

Nice ... use heat shrink in those banana connectors thus the cable doesn't cut with movement

Hi,

You can do it but knowing Logitech the speakers will likely sound much worse
on a normal AV amplifier, that is the Z5500 uses active EQ for the satellites.

Sort of implied by the non-standard speaker connectors.

rgds, sreten.
