## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these speakers be used with an older sound system of cassette player, cd player, receiver, turntable?  The sound system is about 30 years old.**
A: I have mine connected to my turntable, tape deck, CD player and receiver, all of which are minimum of 20 years old or  older and I have no problem.  I take into consideration that these speakers are not top of the line Bose, but they do pretty well.  I'm happy  with them.

**Q: If I use four speakers, two in front and two in rear, will that give better perfomance in big room?**
A: I have two in the front and two in the back and the sound is just great I can hear so clearly

**Q: can I hook them up sidewards on the corner walls?**
A: I don't now if the original question is the same as mine but I'll throw in my question...have a couple old rectangle shaped Infinity speakers that are mounted up in the corners near the ceiling.  They're on mounts that have a 4 way pivot so I can point them right into the middle of the room where the listener will be most of the time.  The Bose 161 has a 2 way pivot mount so I can either do up and down or side to side depending on which direction I mount it.  What's the best way to mount this speaker for the best sound in the middle of the room?

**Q: Will this speaker work with an old realistic sta-78 stereo receiver?**
A: Yes, these use standard speaker wires and would work well with any receiver. Charles
