Hi, my house's previous owner left two RM7 SAT Black speakers on the wall and a bunch of wires. I think the previous owner must have had a home theatre system and took all the moveable pieces with him.

I want to take advantage of the speakers to build a home theatre system and am wondering what other pieces that I need to buy.

Any ideas? Thanks!

    Are the speakers on the front, side or back wall?

    Ok, so they would be used as rear surrounds and do not need to timbre match the L/C/R speakers.

    At a minimum, you need to buy two front (left and right) speakers, a matching center channel speaker, an AVR, cables and any sources, such as a Blu-ray player. I presume you already have a TV.

    Thanks a lot! Just googled around, looks that I need to invest five or six hundred dollars at least to make it work. Maybe I will wait until later. Thanks anyway!
