I have a question regarding the AW1 ~ how does it work for rear surround if you have a receiver that is outputting a 'powered' line for a wired speaker? is this not a good idea?
would one need to get a receiver with line-level outputs?
I'm Audioengine they can give you the exact answer, but I would not recommend sending speaker-level signals to the AW1. The instructions specifically call for "RCA outputs" from receivers. I don't see any spec on the input stage, but I've got a feeling that sending a speaker-level signal will fry it.
