I am throwing out my old Panasonic Home Theater system SA PT650. But I intend to keep the speakers alone for my new AV Receiver "Denon AVR 1713". Could anyone help me in clarifying whether I am trying to marry the right set of speakers to the right AV Receiver. Here are the details:

Speaker System:

Speaker(s) 2.0 x Center channel speaker - External - -24905.0 Hz - 6.0 Ohm - Wired,
1.0 x Subwoofer - External - -24920.0 Hz - 6.0 Ohm - Wired,
2.0 - External - -24905.0 Hz - 3.0 Ohm - Wired,
1.0 - External - -191.0 Hz - 3.0 Ohm - Wired
Driver Details Center channel speaker : 1.0 x Full-range driver - 65.0 mm,
Subwoofer : 1.0 x Full-range driver - 160.0 mm,
1.0 x Subwoofer driver - 65.0 mm,
2.0 x Full-range driver - 65.0 mm

Denon AV Receiver 1713 details:

Fully discrete power amplifiers for all 5 channels
(120 W x 5 ch, 6ohm 1kHz 0.7%)
(80W x 5 ch, 8ohm 20-20kHz 0.08%)

Thanks in advance,
Balaji

Aside from the ohm rating and driver sizes, those speaker numbers make no sense to me.

After checking the owners manual for your unit, your subwoofer will not work with your Denon. It needs an amplifier to power it whereby your own unit had one internally. "Real" powered subwoofers that will work with real HT receivers, like you now have, can be had for > $100.

The rest of your speakers should work, at least until you can find suitible replacements.

Those are small satellite speakers won't be a problem for that receiver, though the sub woofer will be an issue.
The satellites are all one-way designs featuring the same 2.5-inch "woofer" and no tweeters. The subwoofer has a 6.5-inch woofer on its right side. The speakers and sub come with permanently attached cables, with stripped, bare wire ends.

You'll need a self powered sub to work with that Denon.
