Q: What would be the difference in sound between this Klipsch speaker and the "Klipsch Reference Series Dual 6-1/2" 400-Watt Passive 2-Way Floor Speaker" for front left and right channel surround sound speakers (as channel is assigned by the receiver)?

A: The difference is the towers sound great and seamlessly blend together very well making u think u have a center channel because of how the tweeter ports are made also the center channel sounds great by itself so if u want more bass go with the towers but if u want clarity but minimal bass response the center channel is for u both work great together

Q: I need to wall mount it over my TV as there is no place between the TV and the mantel over which it is mounted. This would require the speaker to be tilted slightly downwards. Are there mounts available to do this for this speaker or any suggestions?

A: If you leave the screws out a little farther the speaker will naturally want to point down. That’s what I did on my wall installation to match the tilt of my TV.

Q: Will my Denon AVR S760H 7.2ch 8K AV Receiver be able to handle this center-channel speaker?

A: The Denon AVR S760H supplies 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD, with 2 channels driven. This receiver would be okay to drive the R-34C at moderate volume levels. To get the most out of this speaker, we suggest pairing the speaker with a receiver that supplies close to 100 Watts at 8 Ohms.

Q: Hello. I started building my home theater system with two Klipsch Reference Series Dual 6-1/2" 400-Watt Passive 2-Way Floor Speakers, and now I want to add this Klipsch center channel speaker to it. Is this a good setup, or should I add wall speakers?

A: Do not put floor speakers in the wall!, You need 3 ft. Distance away from the wall for air to travel through speaker. They make interior wall speakers very expensive. You can add this center speaker to you floor speakers and you will be very happy.

Q: have Pioneer SCLX904 its RMS is rated at 140w per channel, confused at matching new speakers with the receivers RMS and total power. this center is 100rms and 400w peak. do you stay at or below the receivers rms for speakers ?

A: Basically, You want to ensure, that your peek is not exceeded and you have a good margin, if the numbers you posted are accurate. I'd say you are perfect. Keep in mind, that the center channel, which primarily handles dialog, will most likely need to be adjusted in your setup +/- db...

Q: What does it needs a receiver to work along with the TV

A: Yes, this center speaker will require a receiver to integrate with your TV/sound system.

Q: I want to use this center with R-820-F floor standing speakers. Think it is a good match? I currently have the RW-12D subwoofer.

A: ABSOLUTELY!! I currently use the R-34C center speaker with the same Reference Series R-620F's, R-100SW, R-51M's & R-41SA's speakers with an Onkyo TX-RZ620 home theater receiver and they rock the house. The sound is powerful and crisp. This is an excellent center speaker and you wont be disappointed.

Q: can i use klipsch c450 center speaker with r820f

A: Yes! That’s the setup I’m using, and have been extremely impressed since adding the c450 to my system. I’m not a professional audiophile by any means, but I’m couldn’t be more happy with the speaker configuration. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am! Scott
