Q: 6. I would like to connect these speakers to an older Bose Acoustic Wave music system model cd3000 which has RCA connections for powered speakers. If I purchase a y cable (male RCA to male 3.5mm) for each speaker, will I be able to connect them directly to the radio?

Q: 7. How far apart can I put these speakers?
A: It will be depended on the Length of Speaker Wire that connects the 2 speakers. Though it has Bluetooth Capabilities for Audio Playback purposes, they do not connect to each other wirelessly. I see it is packaged with a 16 foot long Speaker Wire.

Q: 9. Is there a wall mount option for these speakers?
A: These speakers are designed for either desktop or bookshelf mounting.
Q: 10. How would I connect these speakers plus one or two pairs of headphones to my laptop? I only have one audio jack on my laptop
A: I have a similar use case, but manually switch headphones and speaker cables (and only use one at a time). Alternatively, you should be able to use a headphone splitter and plug-in the auxiliary speaker cable and your headphones at the same time, although this will send sound to both, not switch back and forth. Third, you could use the speaker's USB -A output direct from the computer to the speakers as well as plug-in your headphones to the computer, then choose which to use via your computer (note: some computers may override USB output with a aux cable plugged in, so you may need to double check that).
