Can you run a pair of Pioneer CS 99 and CS 99A via A & B speaker outputs on a Pioneer SX 1010? I am also looking at adding a subwoofer but not sure how to connect the sub< Thankss
CS 99 paired w/ CS 99A ?

You should be able to connect both pairs and run at same time. I do not know about subwoofer. I personally don't thing subwoofer is necessary.

I was going to put 99 on the bottom and 99A on top? is there a concern with 80 watt to 100 watt?

Uhhhh....
What is the minimum impedance of the receiver? You can find it written above the speaker outputs. It may say something like "Speakers A OR B- 4-8 ohms. Speakers A+B 8-16 ohms". Make sure the speakers don't go below that.
And no, wattage won't be a problem as long as you don't play them at full volume for long periods of time.

How would you know if a sub is necessary? You haven't heard his system, in his room, so you are only speculating how it might sound. With nothing to go on, and no evidence why bother? :scratch2:

Well cubdog look at the list of Pioneer speakers I have. The speakers he has have large woofers. I said "personally.." Don't understand why you are dogging me, oops that's your name.
To NotJerry - You can hook up both sets of speakers and play at same time. You can stack them if you like. One issue might be if one set is louder than the other. You just need to experiment with placement to see what works for you. Don't worry about wattage label.

Nothing personal. I'd say the same to anyone and expect the same back.
I've heard both of the speakers in question and I don't think they have very good bass. But I have no way of knowing how they sound in his space. That's all, no offense meant. It's a holiday after all, have a great New Year!

I apologize for not posting what I am doing. I have hooked a sub two B speakers on the 1010 and stacked the 99A's on top of the 99's.
I have found as many have that the 99A's are short on bass. You would think with the large woofer it would be the opposite? With sub it is much better and with the 99A's more @ ear level the mids and high are much more pronounced.
Now I want to add the 99's and see what I get. I feel the 99's have more bass but I am not sure.
I am having a problem connecting bare wire to the speaker terminals on the 99's.

Both speakers 8 ohm. What about A+B+C with C the sub, too much maybe?

Does the subwoofer have a speaker level input and output? If it does, connect one of the pairs of speaker to that. Peace and goodwill.

I have a suggestion look for a set of pioneer hpm 100's you will have all the bass you will ever need. hooking up three pairs of speakers will present around a 2 ohm load and the sx-1010 will only allow you to run two pairs of speakers at any time. pressing a b and c results in no sound.

No need to apologize. I had a feeling you might find your speakers lacking in the bass department but as I stated it doesn't do any good to speculate. Every room, every system, and every set of ears are different. Good luck getting things sorted out.

I am going to move back to the 99A's on the floor (7" stands) and leave the sub on B in case I feel it needs it. Also tried a 30 band EQ which I knew that I would not like. Guess that was a good thing I learned during the DDD years-leave it flat. I always had issues setting my EQ for room compensations anyway.
