Specs
Could this speaker connect to the destop computer? If could, how?
Answered by Klipsch Product ExpertThe R-50M is a passive, non-powered speaker that will need to be connect to a receiver/amplifier via speaker wire. You can then connect the receiver/amplifier to your desktop computer to achieve a signal path from the computer to the speakers.
Just curious but could these speakers be used as surround back speakers in a home theater setup??
Answered by Klipsch Product ExpertYes! The R-50M bookshelf speakers are good additions to a home theater setup and are typically used as rear or side surround speakers. Please keep in mind that these speakers have a power handling of 75 Watts at 8 Ohms. You will want a receiver that supplies close to 80-100 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms to ensure quality audio reproduction and longevity of the speaker's components.

What are the dimensions tall, length, width,?

Will these speakers work on a carpeted floor or will it effect the sound?
Answered by Klipsch Product ExpertIdeally the speakers should be placed at a height in which the top horn is close to eye/ear level (this will ensure optimal imaging of the sound). The speakers can be placed on a carpeted floor but there may be frequencies that are lost depending on the listening position and room acoustics.

These speakers have a stylish vinyl woodgrain finish.
