What is the best receiver/amp to connect to a pair of Klipsh AW 650. Like one with optical connection to Apple TV. Thanks

What is your use? Is it for a large outdoor installation? How far away are the speakers from the audience/listeners? The Klipsch AW-650 are pretty efficient, but I can tell you more with better specifics. Thanks,

joe, There are two most common options - you can use either a digital optical audio out (if your receiver supports that), or the 3.5mm analog output that will either go to a 3.5mm input, or can be used with a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, which will support most receivers that have an AUX or TV input. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Dear Customer,The 7008 is a GREAT VALUE. The 7009 has the added ability to support Dolby atmos as well as the added connectivityWith WIFI, And Bluetooth built in however the 7008 is a great receiver/amplifier. We have both the 7008 and 7009 in stock. Thanks!

I just use my marantz 5005 receiver and run my audio and video thru the receiver...no separate amp required as long as u have an AV (audio video) receiver

I haven't listened to the Klipsch 100 watt sub yet but in my opinion there is no floor stand speaker that can replace a good subwoofer. Maybe the super high end speakers but nothing I have heard yet. I own these along with a pair of 52's and 42's. I would recommend the 52's and spend a little more on a sub. Both the Klipsch 350w and 400 or 450w sound amazing. If I simplify I will be keeping the 52's over the others.

To be honest, the quality of sound you will get depends on the speakers and the amplifier you use for those speakers. I have some old technics 5 speaker system (2 towers, 2 surround and 1 front) connected to a Pioneer receiver and they sound great. This device essentially replaces the cable from your phone/tablet/ipod to the amplifier or receiver. It is like asking which speakers work best with an ipod... it really does not depend on the ipod!

There are a lot of options, and it depends on what you'll be using them for. I just listen to music most of the time, so I use a Yamaha A-S500 integrated amplifier. It has worked great for me.

I'd run an amp with an RCA to 3.5mm with your amp. The one you're asking about works good. Run it off you iPhone and you'll be set. If you wanna run another amp for a sub then I'd think about running them through an equalizer. Quantum audio makes a good eq. I've used that set up many times on boats, side by sides and jeeps.

Optical audio out is nice. Analog audio out is nice too. It lets you use older speakers or receivers that may sound great despite not being the latest whiz-bang technology.

these speakers need a power sorce - receiver, amp or similar. Example : Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver You want : http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_12?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=ipod%20speakers&sprefix;=ipod+speaker%2Caps%2C195

I've got these speakers hooked up to the Dayton Audio DAT1 amplifier. The results re extraordinary! Can plug in computer, iPhone, iPad, etc.

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

Bob, just about any 5.1 or more surround sound receiver that I carry would work here. Depends what features you would like(zone 2, bluetooth, airplay, wifi). Eric C

One of the A2's has a 3mm audio receptacle on its rear panel (earphone jack) as well as analog L & R audio wire inputs (which can be used with legacy receivers). You plug a double-ended (male) 3mm wire into the master speaker & connect the other end to iMac's headphone out. That should do it. If the A2's are going to sit further than a few feet from the iMac, then acquire a pair of Audioengine wireless (AW3) units for greater flexibility in siting. Audiodengine wireless transmitters work very well actually.

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

Buy a chord with a headphone jack on one end and rca on the other and plug it up to the headphone jack of receiver to input of amplifier. You will probably need an adapter plug too for headphone jack to match headphone chord.

I'd start by just plugging right into your receiver and see how you like the sound. some receivers have decent headphone amps, others have horrid ones. I don't know your model, but my Yamaha has the horrid type unfortunately. if you find you don't like the sound, be it too muffled, thin, or lifeless, then add an amp. there are many you can add. I run mine on a schiit vali and I love the pairing. the schiit magni is a good amp as well, more versatile than the vali. there is the jds labs o2 amp, and many many more. you'll need a line out from your receiver though. I was shocked to learn mine did not have any line level outs, so I had to run an optical out to an optical dac, and connect my headphone amp to the dac.
