One of the best older JBL’s, love them and they will hold there own even today. Here’s a link to the back, back of jbl c50 - Google Search. Use good quality speaker wire, you will benefit. Use the lower connectors in the back, connect to your amplifier outputs as mentioned above, use the one labeled "input" connectors. The upper ones are used for bi-amping only. Enjoy!
Do the speakers have a wire coming out of them to plug into the wall ac outlet? If so, then the speakers have an amplifier built in (very rare). If not, then you will need an amp to use the model 7 preamp. The Pioneer SX450 does not have a separable preamp/power amp, so you can't use it with the Marantz 7 preamp. I'm a bit confused, do you have a Marantz model 8? Very nice system.
