Overview
The Klipsch R-41SA is a speaker built for a 5.1 surround setup, handling up to 100 watts through a single pair of gold plated binding posts. It measures 13 x 5.75 x 7 in, weighs 6.75 lb, and comes in black.
The single pair of binding posts points to a passive speaker that needs an external AV receiver or amplifier to drive it, rather than a self-contained system with its own receiver and subwoofer built in. Klipsch positions this line for surround duty within a larger 5.1 home theater setup rather than as a standalone package.

Who it's for
Fits someone who already owns or is buying an AV receiver and needs a surround speaker to complete a 5.1 setup. Not a fit for anyone expecting an all-in-one system with a receiver and subwoofer included in the box.
