Questions about Klipsch R-51M

These are not active speakers. This means that your TV must have a built-in amplifier, otherwise you cannot connect them. If your TV does not have a speaker connection, you will need an external amplifier, e.g. an A/V receiver.

So I will rather look into your cases on monitor speakers. Maybe you'll find something. Maybe there's something here or from Thomann.

Hello, I also drive my Klipsch with a Denon AV receiver and am more than satisfied. It is completely sufficient for me. Greetings

Well, the STR-DH95 from Sony is a pretty modest receiver with few connection options. The speaker terminals for additional speakers are also very cheap. It'll work, but I'd go for the Onkyo TX-NR636, available second-hand from Digitec, which is much better equipped and a real bargain for the price: Onkyo TX-NR636 (7.2 channel, FM, AM) Or a Denon, which is a bit more expensive at 499, but also very good. But the cheapest one costs 499 francs again. Denon AVR-X1600H (7.2 channel, FM, MW) And for 537 you can even get an 8K receiver from Yamaha: Yamaha RX-V4A (5.2 channel)

The speaker's impedance is 8 ohms. As long as this is above the recommended impedance for the AV receiver, operation is not a problem. Therefore, it will work. The speaker can handle up to 340W, but continuous power is 85W. So it can handle 85W of power for a (random) long time without any problems. That means, if you don't want to listen for hours at the highest volume, there should be no (or hardly any) wear. My amplifier can also handle 100W per channel, which hasn't been a problem so far, but I haven't really used it to its full potential.

You need an AV receiver/amplifier to operate these speakers. You cannot connect them directly to the PC. However, these speakers are also available in a different version, in which the amplifier is integrated, as far as I know. They just cost more. That would be the Klipsch R-51PM.

Mine don't have any holes either. And on google I quickly found pictures from 02.2019, also without. The R-51M are more intended to be placed on feet. I think they should be the R-41M with the holes. But hanging them up doesn't make any sense either, because it covers the bass reflex channel...

No, you can hardly try anything out at Digitec. You can return them, just minus 10% of the purchase price. But I can tell you that they are really great. I have 4 of them as Heights in my living room and 2 on my PC:)

These here are so-called passive speakers. They lack an amplifier, which is necessary. These ones have an amplifier built in and can be connected directly to the PC: Klipsch R-51PM (1 pair, 120W, Black Vinyl)

I don't recommend that. With a bit of luck, a sound might come out :) But since the impedance of the GSX-1000 headphone amplifier is 16-150 ohms, and the speakers are 8 ohms, it could quickly get a bit scorched. I recommend a proper hi-fi amplifier for the speakers with at least 50 W. If your motherboard has an optical output, an amplifier with an optical input would be ideal.

I guess already

I used banana plugs for the home cinema and none for the PC, as you like.

You simply need speaker cables (which should be suggested with the product). There are also more expensive ones that have a banana plug built in, but they are very expensive and not really necessary.

Simply put, the 51Ms are slightly larger, thus slightly louder (maximum volume) and slightly better bass.

You need an AV receiver and speaker cables. You should be able to find them here under these two keywords.

Yes, of course, the R-51M are connected to a receiver. If the receiver supports at least 5.1 (which most of them do anyway), you can simply connect the speakers to the other outputs on the receiver. Normally, however, you choose 2 floorstanding speakers and 2 bookshelf speakers + 1 subwoofer for a 5.1 setup, but 4x bookshelf speakers + subwoofer will also do for smaller rooms.

What kind of outputs do you have on the turntable?

I have them at home, you just have to unsolder the cables and then you can attach them to the screw terminals. Banana plugs cannot be used.
