A:AnswerI wouldn't worry about too much power what you should be worried about is under powering them and clipping your amp will take them out 100x quicker than over powering them! I have used these speakers on many types of amp from 80 watts a ch to a pair of 1000w monoblocks with NO issues at all. They really like power
A:AnswerI am using an old Onkio amp that pumps out 8 ohms and these 6 ohm speakers sound great, no sweat for your amp to power these speakers, my 8 ohm amp sounds great!
A:AnswerYes, 16 gauge will work for short runs.
I use standard lamp cord or zip cord
bought at hardware store off a spool.
It's cheaper, way thicker & is perfect for runs
longer than 20 feet.
Oh & a manual isn't needed.
The back of the SP-SF52 Tower speaker
has it's specs and info listed on a tag.

A:AnswerThey have 5 way binding posts. They can connect to bare wire, banana connectors, flat connectors and just about any other aftermarket connector.
A:AnswerYes, these would be the front channel in your situation. Even just these and a receiver would be far superior to tv speakers. Ideally these plus a center channel, 2 surround speakers and a subwoofer would rock your house down for movies and music. GL you are stepping into a fun hobby, you can take it as far as you want, e.g. Some speakers cost over 20k a pair. These speakers in the 5.1 ( has these plus 4 other pieces ) package are like 599 or something and they will rumble your house down if you want.
