I purchased this unit to replace an older model Plantronics headset that was wearing out, it works fine, my only complaint is it doesn’t seem as comfortable in my ear as the old one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bring together your analog and digital music collection with this 2-channel Sony receiver. Its phono input lets you hook up a record player directly, and its Bluetooth capability allows convenient wireless streaming from compatible devices. This Sony receiver has a built-in power amplifier for clear, distortion-free sound, and the rigid chassis minimizes vibration.
 
A very good stereo receiver.

I have a JVC Ultra Compact Component System FS-500. It has two separate Antenna inputs: one for FM and one for AM. Do you think I will need two separate antenna to cover both?

No....The Insignia antennae has independent connectors for AM (2 bare wires) and FM (a coax plug).

Could I use these speakers by plugging them into the back of my Samsung TV for better sound than the speakers in the TV?

Short answer...no. The audio output on TV’s require an amplifier to drive speakers. Best Buy has excellent products (an A-V receiver is what you need) available, starting around $100.00.

Can I hookup this speaker with the positive lead going to the left channel positive and the ground lead going to the positive on the right channel to get the center speaker effect on a receiver that don't have a center speaker hookup?

NO! That is not how speakers work. If you’re looking to improve dialogue clarity in your “home theater” system by a adding a center channel speaker, you will need at least a 5.0 receiver to drive it, Best Buy has excellent units starting under $300.00.
