Danoant Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I have an old pair of KSB 2.1 bookshelf speakers (not used in years) and bought a new smart tv. Do I need a 3rd (center) channel speaker or soundbar or will these be enough to sound good? I have to get an amplifier so can't test right now.

wuzzzer Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 They'll sound great! Soundbars are designed to use on their own so I wouldn't add one of those. You don't have to have a center speaker but if you wanted to add one the Klipsch Synergy series (which is what your bookshelves are) would be the best match.

Moderators dtel Posted November 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just wondering, would the little amp that runs the tv speakers work his KSB 2.1 speakers. Or is the output not powered ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danoant Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks, Mark! I am going to use one of my brother in law's old receivers to run them through for now. Later I might upgrade to a 4K receiver if I add a Blu-ray player and go for surround sound. This will be great for now. Thanks again.

derrickdj1 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 On my TV with Front R/L speakers, the TV volume is 0 and all the sound is from the speakers. The TV's without a 5.1 setup just use the Front L/R for a phantom center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It will sound fine. The majority of things on TV are in stereo anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
