Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

Q: Can these be used as surround speakers?
A: You could use them as surround speakers, but they're probably a little bigger than most, and highly-capable speakers. There's a smaller-sized Klipsch bookshelf (I forget the model number), that might be better-suited for surround speakers.
A: That is what I am using them for and am pleased
A: I have not yet, but have considered it and still might. They are not large...but they aren't small either. If mounting to a wall, look for side-clamping wall mounts. There are several available and will do just fine. They won't be hidden, but they will be up off the floor and adjustable. They do not come with a bracket and do NOT have screw holes in them where you can screw it into a stand or a mount...that's why I'd suggest a side-clamping wall mount.
A: These speakers are exactly 12.5" tall, and the stick on rubber feet will add another 3/16". The front grill however is rounded at the top and extends another 3/8" past the top of the speaker. So if you use the feet and install the grill, the top of the grill will be exactly 13 1/16" tall.
A: This product will require a amp.
Q: How far away from the wall do they have to be ?
A: As these Klipsch bookself speakers are of bass reflex design and the port is rearward facing, giving them some distance from the wall is desirable for better sound quality. However, I am using mine as rear surrounds and I have them angled inward and only 8 inches to the port from my rear wall. They sound great and the bass for their size is excellent with no objectionable issues. I have a 110 watt/channel @ 8 ohm 7 channel Onkyo Atmos receiver and these little Klipsch speakers can handle some serious volume without distortion. As long as you don't put them directly up against your wall, I don't think you will have any acoustic problems.
Q: Can these speakers be hooked up to a Mac desktop computer?
A: Yes. I do it with my MacBook Pro every day. You will need a cable and a 2-channell Receiver minimum. I chose items below. Working very well and sound is astounding! With two of those cables, you can also hook up your iPod, iPad through their headphone jacks.
