My thinking was that they need a minimum number of watts per channel to run. Since most of your modern home theater amps have lots of power(500W), but they are split out over 5 to 7 difference...

Most PA or musical instrument speakers are more efficient than home hifi speakers, so the OP will not have any difficulty attaining high volumes.

You can buy a long 1/4 inch "daisy chain" cable like this, then cut it in two and hook the bare wires to the Sony's speaker output.
