Klipsch R-51PM, pr Powered Speakers

No receiver required with these versatile speakers I love that you can connect just about anything to Klipsch R-51PM speakers and save space, because you don't need a receiver.

Use the USB port to play tunes stored on your computer, or the 3.5mm aux input for your mobile device. And of course, you can choose the ultra-convenient wireless streaming option, because there's Bluetooth built in. There's also one very important output on the back of the speaker - a mono RCA for hooking up a powered subwoofer - like the Klipsch Reference R-8SW - to add deeper bass to music and movies.

They took up very little space on my combination dresser/entertainment furniture, but they produced
