Hate to be the first to say it but that RCA unit is very inadequate for your Khorns. Not in terms of power as a 3 watt amp will drive you out of the room with the sensitivity of your speakers. If you really want to do them justice, do a little browsing on the forum for recommended amplifiers. I wouldn’t worry about the dust, but I’d recommended unscrewing and tightening all the input/output screws that you can see. This will help give a much better signal path between all the components. If you want to use the RCA to just test it out, connect speaker wire to the RCA’s L and R outputs on the right side of the picture you posted them to the input connections of your speakers.

If that receiver were in good working order it would power your 8000s with no sweat and have plenty of headroom to boot.

It really depends on your needs. If you’re only going to listen to 2 channel music, a decent modern 2 channel amp is going to be a lot more expensive than a well cared for vintage one like the h/k that The Dude mentioned. As far as I know, Bluetooth won’t give you a lossless signal so if you want the best sound, a streaming device capable of high-res audio plus a DAC of your choice + an integrated receiver/amp is all you’ll need.

It’s your equipment in your room. Go with what sounds best to you.

Lots of stores didn’t care about matching them up when sold, especially raw unfinished models since they didn’t have veneer that matched up anyway.

Because then the subwoofer handles frequencies below 80Hz which is what it is designed to do. 👍

80Hz is recommended 99% of the time.

Yes, it’ll be fine. Don’t worry about trying to make them 8 ohms.

The title says sold and the OP hasn’t been on the forum in over five years.

I'd suggest reposting down in the Garage Sale section - you might get more views there.

Can you post a better pic?

There’s several threads stickied in the forum with historical data such as this one: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/212916-klipsch-heritage-series-historical-reference-data-v4-–-27-january-2016-by-groomlakearea51-with-additional-information-from-the-historian/

Need more pics and more info. Maybe repost in the General or 2 channel section. This one’s for Bluetooth, computer speakers and the like.

Welcome. I’ll suggest reposting this in an appropriate forum section. As you can see by the heading of this one, it’s for discussions regarding the 2020 Klipsch Pilgrimage.

What troubleshooting have you tried?

I know at least a couple different Klipsch models from over the years have that variation. My guess is slightly different methods of testing the impedance and/or marketing.

If I were you I’d very carefully put them back in their boxes and seal them back up!

Vintage? Isn’t that series around 20 years old?

How big is your room? How far away are the speakers from the wall behind them? What are the dimensions of your room? Where do you sit in the room?

Could be the woofer itself.

Those are for sale near me. Originally they had them listed as a Klipsch prototype speaker. 🙄

I guess I’m the cheapskate of the bunch. I use rubber angled door stops! 😂

They’ll play great in any position.

This thread is old enough to legally drink.
