- RMS Power: 85 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
- Peak Power Handling: 340 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
- Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 62 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. 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.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 21 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum 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 I use this as my rear speakers? My front speakers are Klipsch R26
A: These are working great as both surround and rear speakers in my system
A: There actually is no keyhole on the back. For some reason, Best Buy decided to put pictures of different speakers in for the imaging of the R-51.
A: 9 pounds 15 ounces for one individual speaker. Just checked it with my digital fish scale.
Q: How is the bass responds on these speakers and is there any harshness to the top end.
A: Don’t have the bass of a larger speaker but very good bass for their size. No harshness on top end if broadcast quality is good. Kind of a silky smooth sounding highs.
A: Hello Preorder: A receiver's RMS rating is supposed to be set against a "standard" and is an indicator of how much "clean" power a receiver can deliver to speakers at a certain resistance (OHM rating, 8 Ohms for example), and with the proper gage wiring and distance, etc..... You typically hit the "peak" power draw on the lower BASS response. So the lower tones generated by your music source and the higher the volume, the more power it takes to drive your speakers. To be clear, the 140W RMS receiver and the 85W RMS speakers need to be compared at the same resistance, so for example if these are both rated at 8 ohms, then what this means is you would be fine to use these speakers at volumes near 70% of what the rated output is for your receiver. So don't turn it up all the way, or you may run the chance of damaging these speakers. You should NOT turn it up all the way in any case because when you do, the receiver begins to deliver more "noise" distortion in the signal and that can potentially damage ANY speaker. Keep it at a decent volume under 70% and you should be able to enjoy these together just fine.
Q: Can I wall mount this speakers?
A: The answer is yes and no. They have a rear port on them so you can’t flush mount them; it would cause the speakers to sound terrible. You can however use a swivel mount to mount these. I’ll attach a link and picture so you can see how they work. These do not come with keyholes on them anymore .

A: Much depends on your budget and what you are willing to spend on an a/v receiver/amplifier. There are quite a few good AV receiver brands today. Review the offerings from Yamaha, Denon, Sony, and Marantz. I prefer a Marantz A/V Receivers although they are expensive. You get what you pay for. With the current ongoing sales, you can find good multi channel A/V receivers for less than $300. Yamaha and Sony come to mind for budget priced amps. If you go to inexpensive you may find yourself upgrading very soon. 50 years of experience with many thousands of dollars spent.
Q: Can these speakers sit directly next to a LG 4k TV on a mantle without affecting the picture?
A: Yes. The magnets in speakers could affect the stream of ions creating the picture on the old cathode Ray tube type TVs ( those heavy glass ones) but won't affect flat screen TV at all
