Speakers do not have a voltage rating, right?

The RF-7s, RC-7, and RS-7s do not have a voltage rating, right? Such as 110V or 220V. You just simply plug them in the receiver (110V or 220V) and let 'em rip, yeah? I know the RSW-15 is powered and so does have a voltage rating.

Sorry, I am new to Home Theater.

Powered speakers have a voltage rating, powered means they have a seperate amp in them to provide power to a built in sub, say for instance. But, normal "powered by the reciever" speakers have no voltage rating, they have an ohm rating though. The ohm rating should be matched to the recievers output.

Why do you like playing around with my little scope of reality?

I can feel it all start slipping away.....

See but I don't get it, don't you think maybe we can put it on credit?

I get stupified. It's all the same...

Unpowered speakers don't have voltage ratings. But they do have power ratings, e.g. 50 watts, which is related to the voltage applied to them. Howerver, this voltage has nothing to do with the supply voltage required by the receiver, i.e. 110V, 220V, etc. So, don't sweat it. Just hook them up to your receiver and don't exceed the power rating.
