Older Speakers w/ HK AVR 630

[twinz]

I have a 9 year old pair of Klipsch Kg 3.5 floor speakers that still sound great. I am just beginning to build a surround sound system and would like to incorporate these speakers. I was wondering if I will have problems connecting these speakers to a HK AVR 630 receiver. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The HK should do very well with those speakers. Klipsch's are always very effecient speakers.

What kind of problems? I am not sure what you are asking. You "connect" them to the HK AVR receiver the same as they are connected to your current receiver.

There will be no problems with this match of speaker/amp. The only suggestion I would have is when you purchase a center and surround speakers (if you haven't already) you should also look for a horn design for those to have a speaker set that have a similar timbre (sound character). There are models with horn tweeters available from Klipsch and JBL to name a few.

Happy New Year! Thanks for all of your replies. To clarify my concern, I am unsure if the HK AVR 630 accepted bare wire speaker connections. I have always run my Klipsch on a standard 2 channel receiver using bare wire for the speaker connections. I did not know if this connection method is obsolete. The connection post on my Klipsch KG 3.5 has a hole for the speaker wire. There is a hollow cap that tightens over the threaded posts. Thanks for any suggestions or recommendations.

Any modern receiver with 5way binding posts will accept bare wire.
