QuestionWhat's the best 'sub' to go with this set? I want very good low bass.And also I've always had floor tower speakers, 3 way with 10 or 12 inch woofers, can a 'sub' box and smaller speakers (8" in this case) really compete with a set of larger woofers in the tower?
Asked 9 years ago by Ken.
- Answer Well given that you've had 10 and 12" woofers before, you know they sound great. With that said, 8" is enough, although 10" is even better as it moves more air. But a solution with these is there are 2 8" drivers in there. So my 2c is this...Get these, and if you REALLY want deep bass, get a 15" sub...either a Klipsch or something else if you prefer. To get the really low tones (down to 20hz where you really feel it) requires a 15" or larger sub. It can be done with others, and for example the Klipsch 10" sub sounds great...but it only gets down to the low 30s at spec. It will play down to 27, but it is weak there. These + 15" sub = happiness for you imo.

Questionwhat denon receiver for these speakers would be the smallest one could go?Looking at the avr 3100 denon receiver
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I have a Denon receiver myself. Model is some letters and 600 something. They put out about 150 watts times two into a 8-ohm load per speaker. The Klipsch towers LAUGH at my receiver's amp! Driving the towers hard and loud for over an hour and then, Silence. The amp's "protection circuit" shut it down to keep it from melting! After a cooling off period, the party continued (at a significantly reduced volume) and the Klipsch towers were STILL LAUGHING!! Lesson learned.

QuestionI have a vintage Pioneer SX-1080 120 Watt Receiver. Can these speaker's handle this kind of power, And are these speaker's too efficient for it ?
Asked 6 years ago by Eddie.
- Answer I have a 4 yr. old Sony Reciever 125 per channel 7.2 If you are only running 2 channels you should be fine. Make sure you have the copper connection that connect the bottom and top of the speakers. Mine came with, so I don’t need to Bi-Amp them. After a few minor adjustments to the reciever by upping the decibel output to max. Now they sound absolutely beautiful, I use my old RF-26 Towers for my rears, surround sound is awesome.

QuestionI see this speaker have two speaker hook up do I need to hook up them both
Asked 6 years ago by Grayghost.
- Answer You will see a flat copper jumper between the two sets of speaker connectors which is the normal use. Leave the jumper in place and just connect speaker wires to one set. For use of separate speaker connections see the owners manual. Make sure all connections are tight as the jumper is flat.
