So my family has this old 5.1 home theater system that we never even set up and I wanted to use it for my computer/desk. Isssue is that the receiver/head unit started smoking. So my question is. The speakers are connected by speaker wire and not an RCA cable, and the subwoofer is connected by component cable.
1. What receivers can I replace this receiver with? How much would it cost?
2. Would it be possible to use it without a receiver/head unit?
Why is there suddenly several home audio questions on g?, are we gonna get a new company shilling here soon?

would be savable in the right hands or the sub and and speakers could make a cute 2.1 setup with a new kit amp and some tweaks
but if you have to ask here i dont think you got what it takes
a modern cheap logitech 2.1 will save you time and sound better

How so? Can I just not get another receiver?

yeah but its not really a propper amp as you would like to think... its proably got 5 x 35 watt amps on a tiny chip the size of your thumbnail and a crap power supply and crap crossovers on the speakers
modern stuff is so much better also 2.1 > 5.1 99% the time on cheaper stuff
