QuestionCan I power the klipsch r-820 with an old sansui 771 receiver? Its 32 watts per channel 8ohm
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, absolutely! I use my Pioneer stereo receiver, rated at 30 watts per channel, and it has little trouble filling up my room with sound. You will notice some diminished bass frequency response from these speakers. Get a subwoofer, if you want to hear the lower audio frequencies.

QuestionWould you suggest these for a music producer's first set of monitors? I was trying to find good deals and didn't know how these would compare with the JBL brand. I produce a few genres of dance and r&b.
Asked 7 years ago by Ky.
- Answer I am not an expert. But if I were you, I'd consider how your music is likely to be played by others and factor that into your decision. Klipsch is unusual in that they use horn loaded tweeters. Their reputation is "bright" or energetic. Which is fine if you like that - I do. However, if you produce and monitor your music on horn loaded tweeters you may have a different listening experience than many of your listeners who are probably not using the same kind of speakers.

QuestionHow do these compare to the R-15M, which are still available (though no longer at Best Buy)? Similar? Better?
Asked 7 years ago by Pete.
- Answer The r-15m (specs gathered from klipsch.com) come with a 4" img woofer and 1" aluminum long travel compression tweeter mounted in the klipsch tractrix horn assembly. The r-15 also comes in a slightly larger cabinet. The R-51m comes with 5 1/4 woofer( same construction and materials as the r-15), same tweeter and horn assembly, rear ported. The r-51m do boast a 96 db sensativity rating vs. the 94 db rating of the r-15, power handling and impedance are same.

QuestionImages show a keyhole for wall mounting, yet the speakers do not actually have this on them. Is there a reason why?
Asked 6 years ago by Goose.
- Answer Hard lesson learned on my end as well. New model of speakers (reflected on klipschs website but not at Best Buy) shows that they removed the keyhole. I purchased mounts off of Amazon to accommodate these speakers. Here is the link to the mounts I used. https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Universal-Clamping-Bookshelf-Mounting/dp/B01MZE0O8U/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=klipsch+speaker+mount&qid=1573572562&sprefix=klipsch+speaker+&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMFY1NjRMV1NHNlA1JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTE5ODExTThYU1BMUzc5SEFIJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4Nzc2ODlOR1ZRWUdSS0xKTzEmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== I hope this helps!

QuestionI am interested in the Klipsch bookshelf speakers. Can you tell me what size the speaker boxes are, height, width and depth??

QuestionAre these made in the U.S.A.? I've heard Klipsch products are made in America (in Hope, Arkansas). Like many people, I'm trying to exercise responsible buying habits and purchase items made in the United States—or at least not China—when possible. Thanks!
Asked 5 years ago by PaulS.
- Answer These are made in China, as are my Reference Premier RP-160M. This makes me believe that all Reference and Reference Premier units are made in China. If you want made in the USA look at the Heritage line such as Forte III and Kornwall IV. I just verified those two July 25, 2020 on the Klipsch web site. The Klipschorn AK6 is designed and engineered in USA, but that isn't explicit if it is assembled here. I can't imagine that it isn't, since I thought they were custom ordered, and it is their signature speaker.
