Questionwould these work great with my pioneer 11.2 SCLX904 which has a RMS per channel of 140W. I would use them for my surround right and left.
Asked 5 years ago by preorder.
- Answer They should work great for your configuration. Your receiver has two height inputs so I would recommend two sets. Especially if you have a medium to large sized room. Front and side placement would probably give you the best sound but I would try front and rear surround as well. Keep in mind that the front height speakers would be in addition to your front left and right channels. You can lay them on top of your current speakers if they are floor standing with a large enough surface or mount them high on the wall. Run your microphone setup with each configuration to find what's best for you. Then tweak the settings from there. The speakers are 8 ohm with 50 watt continuous and 100 watt peak. Keep that in mind if you like to play things loud. My system is 120 watts per channel at 8 ohm so these are perfect in my configuration. I also have a small room 17 X 15" so I would go deaf before I overloaded the speakers. I am also set up in a 5.1 configuration with the rear height speakers being my 2 additional channels in my 7.2 receiver. I plan to get another set as my standard (side) surrounds. Even with the small room.

QuestionHave a 3.1 system. Klipsh RB-35 mains, Klipsh R34-C center and JBL PS120 (12") sub, driven by a Denon AVR-E300 (175w/channel). I'm considering adding these R-51M as rears - they would need to sit directly on top of the RB-35s. Any value in this setup?

QuestionDear Madam or Sir: Can I wirelessly connect my iPhone and is the music played in stereo? Sincerely Michael A.N. Winkler
Asked 3 years ago by manwinkler.
- Answer The R-51M are passive, non-powered speakers that will need to be connected to a receiver/amplifier for power. The R-51PM is the powered counterpart, which will not need an external amplifier for power. The R-51PM features wireless Bluetooth connectivity.

QuestionI have two of these speakers , what do I need to make them work for an audio jack on my dj controller (numark ns7) ? Do these speakers require a power cable or something?
Asked 3 years ago by Katherine.
- Answer The R-51M are passive, non-powered speakers that will require a connection, via speaker wire, to a receiver/amplifier. You will need to connect these speakers to a receiver/amplifier that supplies close to 85 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms.

Asked 3 years ago by LevittownGuest.
- Answer I use these as front speakers at my desktop, but you cannot expect speakers of this size to offer deep bass. I use them with a subwoofer, which really provides the deep bass.

QuestionIs a receiver needed to use these or can they be hooked directly to the TV?
Asked 3 years ago by Clueless.
- Answer First of all, these are absolutely great sounding speakers. But, as you stated, they need to be connected to an external amplifier or receiver capable of driving an 8 ohm load. A receiver will add the option of adding a center channel and maybe a sub for a much fuller sound. If you are looking for something to connect directly to the TV, I might suggest a high quality sound bar with a sub.
