Klipsch Audio Speakers

I want to connect my (dvd, xbox, and tv) audio to my speakers(klipsch thx two speakers with a subwoofer) they all use the same normal audio cables. What is the connector called and how much am I looking to spend?

They are called RCA plugs. The red and white ones are for the left and right and the yellow one is for video. Probably only about $10 or less unless you want the gold tipped ones which run about $20 and supposedly have better performance.

I'm in the market to get a pair of front channel speakers and as luck would have it there is a lot out there that plays music! Unfortunately, I'm trying to find the best bang for my buck.

Bose? Klipsch? Denon? Sony?

I have heard that if your center channel sucks, there is no point getting great front channels... which is fine, maybe I'll get a center while I'm at it!
I listed those companies just as examples. The consensus seems to be that I definately need to hear the speakers so that I make sure I get what I'm looking for. I was maninly hoping to get ideas of what companies always had a really solid, quality product.

I've gotten several companies to look into, and I know to definately avoid Bose.

What about SDAT, Premiere Acoustic, and BIC?

i don't honestly know how much you are looking to spend....but I can suggest the following....which is kind of an unwritten law concerning audio equipment....the company that makes CD players makes excellent CD players...the amplifier company is great at amplifiers...etc., etc., down to the speaker company makes great speakers...

Denon speakers are really based on their professional line of equipment.

If you are looking for THE MOST bang for your buck....and have space for a small-ish (meaning footprint) speaker....I would look at the following...

With the Legacy Classic...you will get a true, full-range, top to bottom reproduction of the music and movies without having to place subwoofers in the room as their frequency response is down to 28 Hz.

If you don't want to spend THAT much money...I would go with Definitive Technology speakers.

Good luck....

I have a pair of Klipsch pro audio ultra 2.0 speakers and the bass cuts out constantly, unless left unplugged for days and then plugged back in. I didn't know if it was possible to add a subwoofer to make up for the bass i have lost.
Would I able to use an optical splitter to connect my speaker cables and my subwoofer cable?

GO to walmart and buy a $30 5.0 surrond sound system. it's silver in a red box and comes with the cords you need to hook your sub up to a video game system or computer.

i basically want to get around buying a receiver and still get optical sound. my current set up is that i have a ps3 with hdmi that plugs into my tv, and a cable box with hdmi that plugs into my tv. can i use that optical audio out in the back to plug into separately powered speakers (like speakers made for a computer, like those that klipsch makes) and get surround sound or do i need a receiver?

No, you do not need a receiver if you use powered speakers (unless they have a separate unit with a surround decoder and an Optical input). You need a preamp/processor. A receiver is a combination of a preamp/processor, amplifiers and a radio tuner in one box. When you start going up the food chain in home theater systems, you start buying the units as separate products.

You may WANT to buy a receiver since separate preamp/processors tend to run considerably more money because they are less compromised and more performance oriented. Also, many receivers have preamp outputs that allow you to bypass the internal amps and use better offboard amps or powered loudspeakers.

Now...should you do this? My vote is no unless you have a pretty substantial budget and can afford to buy a real active monitoring system (ala PMC...think many thousands of dollars). Computer speakers are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to home theater sound. You would be better off buying a Klipsch passive speaker system (I've sold lots of their Reference Cinema 10 packages) and a receiver than computer speakers. Even Klipsch's computer speakers...which happen to be the best of the breed...are a step down in sound quality vs. even their smaller dedicated home theater speaker packages.

Between Klipsch Synergy SLX center channel speaker and Polk Audio Monitor CS2 Center Channel Speaker , which one is recomended

Ideally your surround speakers (especially the front 3) should be "timbre matched" - aka have a similar tone.

So- if all your other speakers are Polks- than Polk is the way to go or vice versa.
