L,welcome. Yes, in general it's possible to hook up any receiver to the speakers in a HTIB set, as long as the speakers have the standard binding posts or clips that accept the usual speaker wire. You didn't identify the set, and it's impossible to analyse what the weak points might be, but it's very often the case that the speakers rather than the electronics are most in need of replacement.
