New Klipsch System - Need to Set Up

Recommended Posts

I just moved into a home that has several Klipsch speakers installed around the patio. They are not hooked to any amp or other device--the wires run into the kitchen and terminate under the sink. I'd like to hook them into something, and do it as cheaply as possible (for now). Any recommendations or suggestions?

If they are the common Klipsch outdoor speakers, one or more of these amps will do it.  Klipsch speakers are more efficient than most, so you shouldn't need lots of power.  However, I can't imagine a worse place than in a cabinet under a sink for amplifiers.

The small Class D/T amps are made in China and vastly overrated for power output, by 1.5 to 2x.  They do have bluetooth or wi-fi to allow you to stream music off of your phone, network, etc.  However, you should not need more then 20 watts/speaker, unless you are torturing the neighbors.
