I'm not into gaming or home theater. I'm looking for speakers designed specifically for audio use. I'm using a Cary Audio tube amp and preamp setup.

Hello Kyle R. And thank you for your inquiry. The Klipsch RF-52 II would be an excellent solution for your 2-channel system. It is very efficient and would not require a ton of power making it a great match for your Cary amplifier! We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks again!

Although most would consider these a good match...you should try to listen before you buy. Klipsch uses a horn tweeter. While most like the "bright" highs some...esp on the Music side find them too "bright". Klipsch are very efficient if not, the most efficient in the industry. Meaning less power the speakers still sound fantastic. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your question. Klipsch is a fantastic speaker for stereo music listening. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Klipsch dealer.

Currently, I am using Klipsch F-30s for my fronts and these RF-52s for my rears in my 5.1 setup. While everyone has a different ear and taste in their music; I personally find these to excel with the highs as a previous reviewer mentioned. The F-30s have a much fuller sound and do better with the mids and lows. For music purposes, I would suggest either the F-30s with a decent center or these with a sub to help with the lows. As always, there is no right answer; It's all a matter of opinion.

Speakers need to be efficient, which I believe Tannoys would be... it will make them sound AWESOME! This little amp is fantastic.

It's not very practical to buy speakers, test them and then return them and repeat until finding the best solution. I'm sure going to stores and listening is good but it might sound different when you get it into your home setup.Do you have any suggestions on a good 5.1 setup for the onkyo 606 that doesn't break the bank?

I use the TV sound and it suits me fine. Granted it's not the best it can be, but if you don't like it you can buy a amplifier receiver & speakers and go at it.

Sound will project more with better base. Add an amp and see for yourself. Why els would you buy speakers that your deck unit would underpower...

I'm using the amp for my flat screen tv, which only has a digital audio out. The tv's speakers aren't very good. I run the digital audio out to a digital to analog converter. Then it's a simple matter of hooking up some speakers. BTW, the amp is well worth the money if you can use its configuration.

Anyone who is concerned with quality audio should be using an external amplifier and speakers with ANY LCD TV. I haven't found one yet that impressed me.

i would look for something else. these dont have a very high db so its not very loud. plus they arent as crisp as a cerwin vega speaker. these distort too easily.

No the need an amplifier you are looking for a PA system these are not for presentation but home audio.

These speakers are not amplified,therefore you will need to buy an amplifier.

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

The speakers themselve should be enough. I have a crappy sound card and these speakers sound wonderful! Good luck. They're awesome!

I do not need a separate amplifier, but I also am not one for loud music. I enjoy my system just as it is, and plan to use it for a long time.

I concur with the others on this question. You do need an amplifier for these speakers.

they are good, but i don't listen to bass heavy music. and i also use a subwoofer to handle all low end for my personal setup. amazing speakers for the price point.

1% THD is not "Audiophile" by any means. This looks like a good, straight forward, low cost, cheap amp, but it's not top quality. Two discrete power supplies inside running off a common transformer with cheap car audio amp specs is what it amounts to.

Not sold with speakers, but you might be able to find a site that will bundle them with speakers/amp.
