    Hi
    Can I  get a price for budget 5.1 speakers with active sub please? 

    I have picked up an oldish amp that would do what I need but no speakers.

    Hi m8,

    If you're looking for a good budget set of speakers I would go with the JBL Cinema 510 at 219 euro. These sound amazing and have an active sub, however if you could push the budget a little bit I can't recommend the Elac Cinema 5.1 system highly enough at 299 euro.

    Let me know what you think.

    Kind regards

    David

    Thanks David, I was hoping for something a bit cheaper tbh.

    I will have to see if I can stretch to there.

    Hi m8,

    No problem, the JBLs would be the cheapest I have but let me know if you're able to go for those!

    Kind regards

    Are the JBL 510 4 ohms as my old receiver needs 6-16 ohms?

    Yes the JBL's are rated at 4 ohms, the elac cinema 5.1's are rated at 8 ohms so would be better suited to your receiver https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203010-elac-cinema-5-1-5-1-speaker-package.aspx

    Hi Guys
    Sorry for all the questions.

    Is the Subwoofer with the [font=Montserrat, sans-serif]Yamaha YHT1840 active or passive?[/font]


    [font=Montserrat, sans-serif]Can't seem to see it anywhere in the specs.[/font]

    Hey M8.

    The YHT1840 comes with a passive subwoofer but has the capability to run either Active or Passive as it also has a subwoofer pre out.

    Just one last question.

    I see the JBL 510 on a German site saying they were 8ohm, can you just double check please?

    And thanks for all the advice.

    Hi M8.

    Here is a link to JBL's website where they are stated as 4 Ohms the same as listed on our own site.
