Q: QuestionWhat does a passive speaker mean the klipch 8 inch says passive and one dont(4 answers)
A: AnswerPassive in this meaning related to a speaker means that you need to have an amplifier or receiver connected as your sound source. It's like the original type stereos of the past. Nowadays they offer powered speakers that have built in amps inside the speakers themselves also on the market. So if you have a conventional system the "passive" speakers are what you would use. Example: Many sub-woofers are NON passive or called powered subs because they have their own amp/power source built inside.Answered by electrocuted
Q: QuestionWould these be good speakers to use with my pioneer elite sc-27 AVR receiver(5 answers)
A: AnswerYes these will work with any receiver.Answered by Eric
- A: AnswerI think you will. On my system when I run it without the sub I get no bass. To me, without the sub I feel something is missing in the sound.

- A: AnswerI am using the Denon AVRS750H rated at 110 Watts/channel to power the Klipsch 600 Watt towers. This is similar in power to your Sony. I am also using the Klipsch R-120W powered subwoofer. With the volume control set at 75 (out of 1 to 100) I get as much volume as the neighbors would tolerate. My listening area is 30'x30' and 14 feet high. I'm sure your existing receiver will handle the larger Klipsch towers.

- A: AnswerYou will be fine with 16 gauge wire - take a look at the cord on your girlfriend’s blow dryer, which is 1500-1850 watts continuous. I feel quality is more critical than gauge, so spend a few dollars more for whatever attribute floats your boat - oxygen free, pure copper, longitudinal stranding, special terminals, flux capacitor, etc.
Answered by BrianM
- A: AnswerIt depends on the age of the T-50s. Just off hand I would say yes because of the watt upgrade and the fact that these are made for volume. I would recommend a Klipsch 12 in sub with can be balanced appropriately so the bass is not overbearing.
Answered by RAC57
- A: AnswerNo, it won’t work. I suggest you get amplifier receiver.Your tv should have a Fiber optical that will go in the back of the receiver. These speakers are big. Keep In min, you’ll also need rear speakers to complete a surround sound. The center & subwoofer is an optional but will help. The subwoofer is for the base. You can use your tv as the center channel.

Q: QuestionHow does the speaker wire connect to the back of the Klpisch 820 speaker?(6 answers)
A: AnswerYou can use bare wire or banana plugs. There's a little plastic cap on the speaker terminals that needs to be removed to insert the banana plugs.Answered by Mark

Great towers
Great upgrade from my old klipsch towers. The 8in drivers make the sound much fuller, giving more punch to bass and clarity with the new cone designs. You don't need a lot of power to run these either, but when you do, that's where it really shines. These towers can handle power without distortion easily. Plus they look great!

AWESOME!!
I’ve been eyeing Klipsch speakers for a while now and when Black Friday came around I purchased a 7.2 system and paired it with a Marantz receiver. These bad boys will melt your face off I highly recommend u won’t be disappointed.DO NOT have them delivered to your home do store pick up only. Speakers came dinged and dented and had to return both tower speakers to store and then wait several days to new ones came in.

A little overwhelming when opening box
I was little surprised when I opened the box regarding their size. Everything always looks smaller at the store. I hooked them up to my audio receiver and was a little disappointed at low volume. Then I turned up the volume and the world opened up in quality and spaciousness! I realized these speakers want power and lots of it. So be prepared to have the volume up to get the best out of them.
