FAQ
Product FAQ:
Q: Can I use the Klipsch RP-150M as surround speakers?
A: Yes, they can be used as rear or side surrounds in a home theater setup.
Q: Is there a center channel speaker that matches the looks and sound of the RP-150M?
A: The Klipsch RP-250C is a close match in appearance and sonic signature, while the Sony SS-CS8 is within the same width but does not match in appearance or sonics.
Q: Will the SMSL AD18 amplifier power these speakers?
A: Yes, these speakers are super efficient and can be powered by a 3 watt per channel tube stereo with a tube pre-amp, so the SMSL AD18 should have no problem powering them.
Q: Can banana plugs be used with these speakers without special adapters?
A: Yes, standard banana plugs can be used with these speakers.
Q: Can an amplifier with 100 watts per channel blow these speakers?
A: No, these speakers can handle peaks up to 300 watts and have a nominal rating of 75 watts, so they should be safe with an amplifier that has 100 watts per channel.
Q: Can these speakers work with a turntable that has a built-in pre-amp?
A: These are not amplified speakers, so if your turntable has a built-in pre-amp, you will need an amplification source such as a receiver or integrated amplifier.
Q: Is this the latest version of the Klipsch RP-150M?
A: Yes, this is the standard Reference Premier Monitor/Bookshelf speaker with 5" coned woofers. The latest Reference Premier Speakers released by Klipsch were Atmos/3D sound/Elevation speakers with the designation RP-xxxA.
Q: How do these compare to the Wharfedale Diamonds 10.1?
A: We cannot provide a comparison as we have not heard the Wharfedale Diamonds 10.1. However, Klipsch speakers typically have higher sensitivity than others of the same size, making them good for low to modestly powered systems.
Q: Are these compatible with the Yamaha amp A-S301?
A: Yes, these speakers are compatible with the Yamaha amp A-S301.
Q: Which would be better for side surround, the RP-150M or the RP-140SA?
A: The RP-240S would be a better option for side surrounds.
