Suitable amp for Pioneer CS-C400A

[Thines_1]

I have this Pioneer CS-C400A lying around.. so i thought of using it as bookshelf speaker. Can i know what amp is suitable for it? Its 70watts and 8ohms impedance. I need an amp that has aux input or Bluetooth and cheap. If possible all the stuffs i need to get it running such as the connecting wires from amp to the speaker drivers. Thanks!

Its a single channel center speaker with just a pair of 3 inch midrange drivers.

It would be absolutely woeful as a music speaker , not really worth inveating money in.

Any amp will play an 8 ohms speaker. The 70w rating is max so anywhere from 25 to 70 will be fine. Since you only have one you don't really need a stereo amp but it will be hard to fine one with bluetooth that's mono.

They sell boards that you could build into the speaker or external amps.

Thanks to both of the solutions, pretty much answered my question. As madmatt30 said, its really old, so yeah not worth investing the money. Thanks

Its not because its old that I say its not worth investing in ,its simply the fact that its a single channel centre speaker with drivers that are incapable of pushing out any low end frequencies.
As a centre speaker in a setup with front & a sub Im sure it would still work fine,just not as a full range speaker for music etc.

I own speakers older than that which still sound very good.
