Question 1

Any chance my pioneer elite vsx-lx303 receiver will drive these?

Accepted Answer

That receiver would work, but it might not be optimal performance.

The R-820F speaker has a 150Watts minimum power rating at 8 Ohms nominal with a 600 Watts peak. Our speakers can run efficiently off of 80% of their minimum power rating so at least we would recommend 120 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms for this model. We also don’t recommend going over half way to the peak power on our speakers so the maximum recommended would be 300 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms.

Question 2

will this work on the sonos amp?

Accepted Answer

It might not be optimal output, but it would run these speakers.That speaker has a 150 Watts continuous power rating at 8 Ohms nominal and a peak power rated at 600 Watts. Our speakers can run efficiently off of 80% of their continuous power rating so at least we would recommend 120 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms for this model. We also don’t recommend going over half way to the peak power on our speakers so the maximum recommended would be 300 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms.

Question 3

Klipsch told me that wc-34c is best match for the r-820f, what makes the wc-34c better than the rp-450c for these?  Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Original question was, "I have a pair of klipsch r-820f and am looking to buy a center channel speaker to match them, will the rp-450c be a good match? i already ordered it."

Our actual response was, "The best match for a center to the R-820F is the R-34C, but this one could be used as well." .

(The tweeter and woofer materials in the R-34C are the same as the R-820F and this model R-34C was designed for use with the same series. You can use the RP-450C as indicated in our original response.)

Question 4

will this work with a Yamaha A780 receiver ?

Accepted Answer

Your receiver produces 80 watts per channel. These speakers are a 150 Watts continuous power rating and a 600 Watts Peak rating at 8 Ohms nominal. These speakers can run efficiently off of 80% of their continuous power rating so at least I'd would recommend 120 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms for this model for better performance.
Sorry hope this helps.
