Questionwould this work with Sony STR-DH790? or need a more powerful av/r
Asked 3 years ago by HonduranHomey.
- Answer The speakers produce 97 decibels at one (1) watt. FYI, that level of loudness is very loud, enough to cause hearing loss if prolonged period time serious damage at 8 hours. 95 dB is as loud as a car without a muffler, ATV, motorcycle, or a gas powered lawnmower cycle (earplugs are necessary). You could power those speakers with a 67 W amplifier without breaking a sweat, you could power those speakers loud enough for the neighbors to call the police.

QuestionI have a Yamaha 5.1 home theater receiver rated at 150 watts per channel at 6 ohms. How will these work with that amp?
Asked 10 months ago by Joe.
- Answer These speakers can be run off of this receiver but we strongly recommend using a receiver/amplifier that supplies ~150 Watts at 8 Ohms to drive these speakers. If you are adamant about keeping your existing receiver, we'd suggest considering the R-600F! This model will still give you a lot of dynamic range and output, while being a bit more compatible with the power rating of your receiver.

QuestionMy father gifted me his audio setup that he bought while we lived in Madrid Spain in the 70s. The receiver is a Kenwood KR 10000ii, would you recommend this setup? I have a Reel to Reel, Turntable and 8 track setup all purchased at the same time.
Asked 2 years ago by KenwoodKR10000ii.
- Answer From what I could find on that model of receiver, it supplies "60 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)". The R-800F has a power handling of 150 Watts at 8 Ohms and should be connected to a receiver/amplifier that supplies close to this. The Kenwood KR 10000ii would be better suited for the R-600F. You will get cleaner audio and less chance for distortion.

QuestionWould the Onkyo RZ50 be enough power by itself for these to sound pretty good?
Asked 3 years ago by B.
- Answer I have the TX-NR6050 which has less power than the RZ and it drives them quite adequately. I don't know your specific loudness tolerance or your goals as far as how loud you wish to drive them but I can get them loud enough to be told that nobody needs music that loud from neighbors about 50 yards away.

QuestionCan this work with Marantz SR6012 as far as power goes?
Asked 3 years ago by Frank.
- Answer Are you able to look up the power output for your Marantz? As long as it's less than 150 watts RMS they will work fine. If all you can find is a peak power rating, which I would doubt because Marantz is high quality and they don't need to "boost" sales by using high power ratings that aren't realistic they can handle up to 600 watts peak/max but that's only for real short bursts such as bass drum hits. RMS is the key number that says how much they can handle continuously and for these speakers that number is 150 watts. Hope this helps...

QuestionDo these speakers have a built-in passive crossover for bi-amping, or is the second set of posts strictly for Dolby Atmos setups?
Asked 2 months ago by kenwood.
- Answer Hello! The R-800F is not a bi-ampable speaker. The 2nd set of binding posts is indeed for the optional R-40SA Atmos topper speaker. For a bi-ampable version of this floorstanding speaker, we can highly recommend the Klipsch RP-8000F II. Thank you!

Questionwill this item work with a projector?
Asked 1 year ago by marco.
- Answer The R-800F is a passive, non-powered speaker that will need to be connected, via speaker wire, to a receiver/amplifier for power and audio reproduction. This speaker cannot be connected directly to a projector or TV.

Asked 1 year ago by lou.
- Answer The R-600F would be a better fit for the Denon DRA-697CI. The R-800F has a power handling of 150 Watts at 8 Ohms and should be powered by a receiver/amplifier that supplies close to this power handling.
