The measurements are not like one thinks, if you measure to outside its wider, inside...... I do not know how they measure BUT either you have a chanel(s) going out on amp or.......the speaker at even 50 watts should be loud. I would hook up another pair of floor speakers and see how loud, also make sure your amd will push 8 ohm and if you are running more than 2 speakers, it is not 100 watts a speaker unless if you have a 5.1 amp and its 100 watts, it is 100 watts divided by # of speakers. I have a Yamaha 500watt amp. If you put 500 watts through that speaker for more that a coue seconds, you blow speaker. My guess is you are driving speaker with 20 watts, if it is a 5.1 amp. Thats enough to give you more than you are getting but not 100 watts to a single speaker, you can bridge but you need to know what you are doing. A 100 watt 5.1 amp is better rated for smaller speakers. Talk to someone who knows amps n not speakers. The lower costing Yamaha or any amp rated at 100 peak watts means the whole amp puts out 100 watts MAX Or it could be a channel like I said but I learned the hard way by buying an amp like yours and nice speakers like yours only to find no sound until half way up n then not a lot more. They need at least 50+ watts to drive the speakers at a volume you want, sounds like they might be getting 20
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The woofers on the R-620F are measured between the copper colored torque screws. Please make sure the R-620F is connected to a receiver that supplies close to 100 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms. It may be worth performing a recalibration of your receiver and checking the crossover settings. Klipsch recommends a crossover setting close to 80Hz for the R-620F.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As far as measurements go I am not educated enough, but Klipsch speakers I have found like more power to show off their genuis, and they will get better with a good break-in session of 20 hours or more in my opinion. The more amp wattage the cleaner they sound as long as it's coming from quality HiFi, but it doesn't have to break the bank. I started my Klipsch on a Sony ES series reciever and it blew me away because I didn't think that reciever was all that impressive, until the Klipsch speakers gave it a stage.
