Receiver Speaker Amp

With no reviews anywhere on the web, I took a gamble on these and ordered two. Klipsch is a great brand of speakers so I thought they should be good and I was not disappointed. I ran one 100ft and one 50ft 14 gauge speaker wire from 100w per channel home theater receiver to each speaker. You could use any amp rated 100w - 200w per channel speaker or a A and B/ multizone capable receiver) Clear instructions from klipsch told me how to cross the speaker's four wires over to create either 2 channel (for one speaker only) or to create 1 channel per speaker (left and right) like I have it. Set the speakers approx 20ft apart, pointed towards the house and turned the receiver on. Adjusted the distance to get the pefect stereo sound when sitting at the patio table. Turned the receiver to the max and sound didn't distort one bit, the speakers still have more to offer if your amp or receiver is greater than 100w per channel. The highs are precise and clear just as advertised and the lows/bass were surprisingly solid for outdoors, no need for a separate subwoofer. I have the sandstone which is a slightly lighter color than the rest of my rock patio but they don't look out of place. I absolutely love them and if you want quality, the money is well spent with these.

I replaced my motorhome's a/v receiver. This new receiver is better than the original amp.

I’ve installed this on the NR1403 (Marantz receiver/amp) and it works.

We connected this amp to our whole house speaker systems and it works flawlessly.

The 'Amp' replaced a Home Theater receiver I still employed with some nice horn driven speakers I couldn't part with. The receiver was the last bulky and 'in your face' component in the living room. I expected Sonos quality in this Amp, but wasn't ready for the improvement in sound stage in comparison to the receiver. Things sounded so great, I had to break out all my favourites so as to listen to them again for the first time!

I am using these as computer speakers because I wanted powered speakers so I didn't have to purchase an amp/receiver. Most computer speakers have pretty sorry sound quality. These have great sound quality and I use them for music, games, and video conferencing. I got an Maudio hub to connect them easily.

I started with trying to find an amp/receiver to fit into a confined space. This one fit that requirement. The real bonus came when it had the power to drive 2 sets of my old Bose wired speakers and kept the THD to a minimum so that I cold listen to my vinyls like I used to way back in the day. Simple 2 channel balance allows seamless sound to emanate the room. All this and Bluetooth too. Great job!

This is a really solid amp. The fan is quiet, and the amp is electrically quiet. Easy to use, takes standard XLR in and has both binding post and the speakeron connectors. I purchased this to replace the power amp part of an old Yamaha stereo receiver. I wasn't able to find anything of decent quality as a consumer amp, and the high end hifi amps seem to be both overpriced and of questionable quality. So I went pro audio, as friends of mine had done years ago. This is definitely the way to go. For road use with a band, I think I'd look at the new Crown class D's. I have one, I love it, and it's significantly lighter than this, and with a few more features. They sound absolutely identical. Both have much more headroom into actual speakers than the old receiver did. Can't recommend this highly enough.

The AV Direct allowed me to use the center channel output from my Home Theater Receiver (speaker level) as the input to a Pro Monitor that I found used. My main speakers are Infinity Modulus with a ribbon-style (EMIT) tweeter. The only match I've found at reasonable cost is the Adam Pro series with their X-ART tweeters, but my Pioneer receiver doesn't offer pre-amp outputs. The AV Direct came to the rescue, allowing the amp inside the Adam Pro monitor to do its work. I matched levels by ear without difficulty.This solution is simple and certainly less costly than buying a 1k or so Home Theater Receiver with preamp outputs.

Worked perfectly. Connected my HT receiver 'LFE' channel to external amp 'XLR' for a passive sub. No 'hum'. Thick cable. seems durable.
