Double Turbo Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 If I buy the new klipsch 4.1's system can I buy 1 more speaker and hook them all up to an amp (DS-006 Jazz amp) will it still work if I don't use the built in klipsch amp?

rol1 Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 If you are using a card w/center channel, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Jean Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 If you want 5.1 HT, just get the set of 4.1's and then a pair of Klipsch Quintets ($100 at EBAY). Use the Quintets for right and left, one set of pro sats for surround and the other set for center channel. Just place the center channel speakers on either side of you monitor and have the Quintets further apart. That way you can have a bigger front soundstage and better sound for stereo too. Make sure you hook the center channel pros up to a half way decent amp too, otherwise the front 3 channels won't be voice matched very well. Oh and by the way, hook the center channel pro sats together in a series so that they run an 8 ohm load. Otherwise you might overwork your center amp. Or have each speaker hooked up to it's own channel on a 2 channel amp, and have a splitter so that the one channel cable coming from your soundcard splits into two RCA plugs. One for each channel on your amp. Any Questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
