Does the R-600F need a powerful amplifier?

No. At 96 dB sensitivity and 8 ohms, it plays loud from most receivers. Klipsch rates it at 100 W RMS and 400 W peak.

How low does the bass go?

Klipsch rates it to 38 Hz at +/-3 dB. That covers most music, but a subwoofer adds depth for movies.

Can I use it as a center or surround?

It is a floorstanding tower meant for front left and right. Klipsch's Reference center and bookshelf models match it for a full setup.

One floorstanding speaker and a user manual. Speaker wire and a second tower are not included.

How far from the wall should it sit?

The port fires from the rear, so leave some space behind the cabinet. Klipsch's manual gives placement guidance.

Does it support bi-wiring?

No. It has a single pair of gold-plated binding posts per speaker.
