Can i use this as stereo speakers on Yamaha A-S500 integrated amplifier? shall i get decent bass from these speakers, without a subwoofer?

The bass is better than I expected for speakers this size. I turn off my sub and just use these for normal television viewing. I have to set the amp speaker settings to large when I watch TV for the bass. I set them for small when listening to movies with THX and set the crossover for 80 using the sub. I think you will be satisfied with the bass. I have a Pioneer SC-1523-K

Hello Sony Joseph, Infinity primus p163 has a good natural bass on its 6.5 inches woofer no need to add subwoofer. But if you like deep loud bass then you need to add sub.

Thanks for your question. This is a fine speaker for your amplifier. They produce a fine amount of bass, the amount of which you will need to evaluate individually as different people have different expectations for a speaker. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 36 years old and a very proud Infinity dealer.

I bought a pair for stereo speakers. Used one in one set that I was repairing. Sounded good and they are very inexpensive, yet well made. Don't know about how welll they'd stand up to 500 watts. But in a combo amp, which are usually not huge amps, I'm sure it will work just fine. And youl'll save a few bucks for a case of beer to slowly break in your new speaker(s)! Best of luck and 'Rock On!'

They are only tweeters. So no bass in them. You would need a subwoofer. That's what I had to get

In order to use these speakers you need to buy a stereo receiver. There are many available. I bought a Yamaha rxv 373, w two Pyle pcb3bk speakers and spent less than $200. I already owned a JBL Northridge e series 10 inch 150 watt subwoofer from a previous application. W these purchases combined, I have a really nice system for minimal $ Once you have these things in place you then use a hdmi cable to connect the receiver to the TV.

These speakers are low on the bass side.. The subs will help considerably only if you amp em.. The amp I run is built into the Super tuner receiver.. So I assume 250 watt amp would do the trick.

If you want a 2.1 setup, the best answer is to buy another amp with either line level out or a subwoofer line out. For a solution though, you could run the speakers in a series (google how) and buy a subwoofer with speaker level inputs (though I don't recommend this). However, if you've bought this amp and want more bass just buy a set of speakers with decent woofers that are easily powered (good 2.0 sounds better than 2.1). I had this running a set of Large Advents and it sounded beautifully.

They will sound good with a aftermarket stereo. But an amp will give it more power and neater sound.

Noooo lol just the tweeters.. get a class-D mono for the subs is sugges Boss audios 5K amp for the subs. Sorry for late reply feel free to ask anyything else.

Are you asking if these are OK to use with a 130 watt amp as the only speakers, without a Sub or a center channel? My answer would be "yes" but you don't want to crank it up all the way. However, because Klipsch speakers tend to be more efficient, you probably wouldn't want to pump the maximum watts into these speakers because it would be too loud, unless you are into REALLY load music. I wouldn't worry so much about the amp rating, I would be more worried about the balanced sound output. I would find a subwoofer of some type to add to these for a balanced sound. They are great down to about 100 Hz, below that they fall off pretty fast. But, if you're not into bass, then they will do fine alone.

Dear Grant,Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Klipsch RF-62 II Floorstanding speakers are awesome. Terrific clarity, great imaging, decent amount of bass. They are not, however, a subwoofer, which is amplified speaker that does bass only. One certainly cannot replace the other--they accomplish two different things in your system. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

These will work nicely as main (L-R)speakers. Elevating off of the floor with stands, on bookshelf, etc. will be a consideration for most. They lack deep bass, but sound fine never the less. A subwoofer can fill in if desired. I would suggest avoiding excessive bass enhancement settings at elevated power input levels, to prevent damage, and improve sound quality.

I use them as rear speakers actually. you can make these speakers as rear or from as long as you have a receiver to connect them to.one thing I found out was that it still would give you 2.1 surround sound and not 5.1 because of the way a/v receiver senses them. I use them at home with my tv and it doesn't make difference and sounds pretty good. also acoustimass is not actually a subwoofer but it is kind of a subwoofer. performance is a little bit down if you are expecting some boom boom woofer performance. Just FYI.

These speakers require a separate amplifier. I use them as surrounds in my system and they have served me well.

You won't need a subwoofer if you're going to use these speakers as studio monitors. They produce sound pressure levels well beyond that which will cause permanent hearing damage, and in particular, produce plenty of bass. Most importantly, they are very accurate and produce no obvious sonic coloration. Why would you want to adulterate their clarity with a subwoofer?

these speakers are just speakers, and still need a amp/signal source. When i got these several years ago, it was part of an amazing Amazon offer that included a yamaha home theatre system, that still rocks today. You'll be happy with these speakers, but you need more stuff. :)

These speakers are not made for stereo receivers. There is a built in power amp inside the left speaker, hence it's heavier weight. The A5's can be plugged into anything using mini plugs (3.5mm plugs). If your receiver doesn't have a mini plug you may not want to get the A5's. If it doesn't have the mini plug input area, but does accept speaker wire, get these: Audioengine AP4B Black (Pr) 2-Way Passive Bookshelf Speaker They are cheaper and sound just as great as the A5's (or so I've heard). They are the same thing as the A5's, just without the built in power amp so you will need a receiver with the P4's.

These do not need a receiver as an amplifier is already built into the speakers themselves, specifically in the box of the subwoofer. Any audio source with a 3.5mm headphone jack output can be plugged in to make these speakers play sounds.
