Do these speakers require a separate subwoofer?

Mark - You may add a subwoofer to add more bass if you would like, however it is not necessary.

Depends on what you are using them for. If you are just listening to music on a 2 channel system, no subwoofer needed unless you just prefer a more robust base. If you are using in some sort of home theater set up, then I would definately recommend a subwoofer.

If just listening to music no. If used as the main stereo pair in a home theater system then probably. In my living room the first thing I noticed was a surprising amount of bass for a bookshelf speaker. They have a rear-firing port so you'll want to keep them away from the wall a bit.

No, they need to be wire like any other speaker system. Speaker wire for the satellites and a single low-level line RCA cable for the subwoofer.

No need for a subwoofer. I run mine through a sony receiver and I get good sound.

No you will need a separate amp. I bought an inexpensive Pioneer that pushes 150 watts per channel and these speakers sound true and rich.

Nope. I use these speakers on my patio. They really have a good base/lows so you don't need a subwoofer.

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.

No they do not. These are at least bookshelf speakers - they have a large footprint.

No, you do not have to have a subwoofer. It's awesomer when you do, but still awesome without it.

No. Just plug them into the sub and thats it. I am very pleased with this product, and recomend it highly.

Unfortunately no. You need a receiver to run these as well as seperate speaker wire to connect all the speakers to the receiver

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.

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

The speakers are connected to the sub by wire. They all connect wirelessly to your computer or other device. In my opinion, they are well worth the money. They sound amazing.

Yes, but it is a subwoofer and not a regular speaker. So don't try to use it as a stand alone speaker.

You can use a sub-woofer in conjunction with this pair of speakers, but not without a receiver. There is no port that would allow you to directly link the two. Further, the speakers are not powered (they're passive) and require a power source (receiver) to function.

Yes!These speakers are powered by the subwoofer or the amp (depending on your system) not directly by the wall power source.

No, just regular non powered stereo speakers. Don't sound half bad though especially if there's a sub involved.
