Can i use a pair of this as A / B speakers for Yamaha A-S500 integrated amplifier? Can i get the required bass also from this unit, for a small room?

Yes you will get good bass , nothing special you will still need a sub for window shaking but this speaker sounds good and can handle some watts

I think there are better bic speakers to use for stereo music. This is a center channel speaker, not intended for bass. Maybe you could use them with a subwoofer.

These are great speakers. I am using them with my home Stereo. so they would need an amp.

These speakers are not designed for your two main (front) speakers on your sound system, or home theater system (unless in a very small room, such as a dorm room, etc). These speakers are best used for your rear or side speakers in a surround sound setup. If you opt to use them as your main speakers, you could add a subwoofer directly to the receiver to give added bass output to the system. However, again, unless the room is small, these would not be the best choice for your 2 main speakers.

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

AMP A-S500 has 85 watts RMS or continuous power. This should allow you to use all 4 speakers using A & B speaker terminals. I have 4 Paradigm speakers (2 Micro and 2 Titans) hooked up to A & B terminals and it sounds great with Cable, CD, DVD, and Radio (FM Rock stations). I prefer stereo to surround sound and for $399.95, I am getting more than my $$$$'s worth.

My speakers are 500 Watts continuous power, and I use them for DJing. I setup my system at home and used the meter on my Amp to gauge how far to push the speakers, I added a subwoofer to take most of the base so I wouldn't have to push the speakers to hard to get more bass. My speakers also have a safety feature that won't allow them to be pushed further than they can handle! I guess it really depends on the venue that you're using them in!

You would need 2 PAMP1000's. They are rated for 160watts for 2 speakers. These amps are OK, but they are not powerful at all, and you would not want to run them over 80% volume output for long periods of time since they heat up pretty good. I do think you would be ok with two of these and splitting your Pro Bass Shakers connections in half.

Sure thing, even better if you add a small subwoofer to the system. I have these plugged into an older Yamaha receiver along with an 8" JBL powered sub and it sounds pretty sweet!

Yes. I am using two with a Yamaha intergrated amp. Plus I am using the Hafler hookup; using two small speakers on top of the Pioneers. You aim them at the ceiling using the difference signal from the amp. On the small speakers, wire the L+ and R+ of the stereo amp to the + of both small speakers. Then connect the L and R negs together on the small speakers and you have live sound. Better than Dolby

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.

I once did this, with a high end onkyo receiver, but I built the cabinets for bass, and with proper baffling. You can do it, dont clip the amp, youll damage the speakers.

The speakers are not made for a large space. Imagine sitting at your computer and having the speakers excite the space within an area of 30 sq ft. In this area they are clear, with great definition. I have B&W; speakers that can handle 200 watts each and an REL Sub. These are made for a large room and at low gain fill the room. You would be better to get a pair of Senheisser or Grado headphones and plug them into the MM1 jack.

Well i dont think so. The speakers sounds great, but i installed mine with a bass system apart, and they work pretty good. So try to add an amplifier and bass speakers to your system.

I have not a clue, any respectable amplifier with 20 watts RMS from 20-20KHz should do it. I use an Yamaha RX-V573, 70 watts @ 20-20K, 110 @ 1Khz (big whoop). The point is I never need a whole lot of power, read the specs, 96 db 1 Watt/1 meter, pretty efficient, up there in Klipsch RF territory and they sound better than Klipsch RF-62's. If you have a clean old two channel receiver with 50 watts x2 channels, it should be plenty for a good sized room. My listening room is 20' x 11' and along with the F12 these guys always sound great.

That is one of the problem of this system. The cables are very short about 3 ft to max 4 ft. every speaker have to connect to the bass and the base connects with three cables to the back of the computer i.e. the central and left and right speakers. So if you have the unfortunate experience like mine, after a year of use (very minimum use) one of the amplifiers component of the base panel overheated because of poor heat sink, you are left with 5 non functional speakers. The reply from the company is they do not sell the bass unit separately and I think with a little bit of sarcasm told me to buy a new unit and keep the other 5 speakers as spares. No Sir!!! I have made a decision to keep away from this company's product.

Yes, if you only have a head unit with no built in amp, it would be a good idea to get an amp for these speakers. They will still work without an amp, but they won't be as loud or have hardly any bass. As for which type or size of an amp to get, I can't help you there.

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.
