can i use these on an 1990 Sony stereo system that are wired or are they only for surround sound systems?

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you were asking about the Definitive Technology 350. Disregard my response.

Would 4 of these speakers sound good in a surround sound with center channel and powered sub-wolfer?

Sorry NewEgg posted previous post in wrong section. Anyone know how to delete an answer? Answer to your question. You shouldn't use these as front speakers, they can be used as rear and surround speakers.
