Hi to all my name is brian I recently bought a storage unit in an auction containing many Klipsch speakers and a subwoofer. Some are new in the box not opened my question is do I need a deck to hook them up? I am new to such high quality speakers and look forward to hearing how they sound. The new ones are R.C-52 center speaker/2 R.S52 surround speakers and one pair of R.B 61 bookshelf speakers. They are all from the reference series.There were many more opened ones including a quintette set. Any help would be great. THANKS FOR READING

Welcome Brian, sounds like you did well depending on the price. Do you feel like you got a deal?

Like Oldtimer said, get an multi channel AVR (receiver) it will have a connection diagram, and get it all connected. I'll bet you'll be surprised how good it sounds.

Welcome!

 

Get a good AVR; 100 watts per channel, all channels operating should do it, unless you room is very big.  My bias would be to get a Marantz or Denon with Audyssey, preferably Audyssey XT32, but if that is beyond your budget Audyssey XT will do.

 

Set up the room as well as you can, with a rug on the floor, and perhaps some room treatments.  Get it to sound as good as you can without Audyssey, then run Audyssey with all 8 mic positions.  After that, you can choose between Audyssey and Audyssey Flat, choosing the one that sounds better to you.  Some people boost the bass a bit by turning up the subwoofer channel (at the AVR) to taste.

 

What is your room's Height, Width and Length?

Thank you I did do well on the unit I paid $1010 and already made $3500 and still got more stuff to sell.Thats not including all the speakers there were 2 bins with used corner speakers and the boxes of new speakers witch I plan on using. Plus the quintette set. I am very happy with this unit.

The RS42 are good speakers, but if you had truly found "corner speakers" or corner horns, that is a common way of referring to Klipschorns.  You would have tripled your money on that investment right off the bat.
