It's easy for sound from speakers to get lost outdoors, but the AW-650s deliver clear, spacious sound that really cuts through. The famous horn-loaded design Klipsch is known for really shines in this situation, delivering detailed sound to a wide listening area.

Big fan of these speakers
Somewhat agree with a comment below, you may need a subwoofer depending on your receiver. Be sure you adjust your Bass to get the full effect out of these speakers, they do sound good, but not quite as good as the Klipsch aw-500 SM speakers
Thank You for the great review !!!!
I have these. I definitely feel like I need a subwoofer. I like my music to sound as real as possible.
Hi Troy, would you like help choosing a sub?
@@crutchfield not at this moment but thank you. I'm more in line for a new receiver than anything at the moment!
Please reach out if we can help you choose one or whenever you need anything else.
@@crutchfield thanks so much! What is the ideal wattage for these speakers? Thank you.
We recommend a minimum of 60 watts RMS per speaker to get the best sound clarity. The closer you get to 85 watts RMS per speaker, the more lively they will play.
Quite a bit bigger than I thought they'd be, which is good for audio, but not good for discretion. I want these for indoor atmos speakers due to their versatile mounting bracket and ease of aiming, but I think I'll consider smaller ones. It would have been nice to hear them on this review.
Aw-400
The Aw-400s are an excellent choice! Are you looking to use them in a specific setup?
Great intro ... what kind of amplifier did you use or recommend, eventually outdoor proved as well?
Thanks from Switzerland
Ideally, the amp will output up to 85 watts RMS for each speaker (the closer you can get to 85 watts RMS, the better each speaker will play). We are not able to ship our gear there as we are a U.S. retailer (and Canada from our .ca website) and also don't know what is available to you. We recommend checking with a local retailer for options
Just purchased a Fosi BT20A 300W Amp and would like to purchase these speakers. Is this amp wattage too much for these speakers?
Another model will likely match better since the Klipsch AW-650 are super efficient and are rated at 85 RMS with an 8-ohm impedance. What's your exact setup?
Hello, I just bought the AW650’s and paired it with the latest Sonos Amp. I haven’t connected it yet, but in the event I feel I need to add bass, would the Sonos Amp have the sufficient power to add a Klipsch CA800 TSW Subwoofer? Thanks for the help!
That subwoofer has a fairly high sensitivity which means it can work in this setup. Before purchasing one should you want more bass, we recommend contacting an advisor to discuss the specifics on just how much more bass you would like to add. Here's how to reach our advisors for this help:

They look just like Proficient AW650's.
How much louder than a Polk atrium 4 outdoors? (they are way to quiet)
With the Klipsch AW-650, you are gaining and additional 2" of woofer size, 6.5" woofer, and a .75" in tweeter size, that will make a big difference in volume, in comparison to the 4.5" woofer and 3.75" tweeter in the Polk Audio Atrium 4. If you'd like to go over this setup in more detail, feel free to reach out to an Advisor! We will be happy to help!

I have Yamaha WXA 50 and I'm trying current;y a paire of Bose 251 and a paire of Definitive Technology AW6500 and I'm totaly disapointed by the bass response of these 2 paires. I'm doing my testing in the basement. And know I'm looking for Klipsch AW650, may because my amp is not so powerful (rated to 2x50 watts by channels). Could you advise me what to do ?
Hi Azzedine , we're glad to help. More power can really help with the bass. Are you hoping to power both sets of speakers at the same time? Are you using them as part of a multizone Musiccast setup?
Will a 100 watt receiver push enough power for nice volume?
I'm a listener of classic rock & I'm hoping these speakers are efficient enough...
The Klipsch AW-650 are super efficient and are rated for 85 watts RMS.
I have these hooked up to my Sony STR-DH790 and they sound like garbage on my back deck. Am I doing something wrong?
What channels do you have them connected to on the Sony? If you are using the assignable channels, what did you assign them to be (speakers B connections)?
Been looking at these but the KHO-7's are on sale everywhere. I could buy 2 sets for one set of these. Any thoughts on those?
We also have the KHO-7's on sale below, and they are a fantastic speaker. We no longer have the Klipsch AW-650's available for purchase through Crutchfield. If you are looking for the deepest bass response, the KHO-7's are a great call!
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/p_714KHO7/Klipsch-KHO-7.html
I ordered 2 set from you as of now. I am thinking I should buy one more set and set up 5 channel surround but everyone says 4 channel stereo outside is better. Can I leave my receiver outside under my roof. It won't get wet. But what about moisture?
@@crutchfield
If you want to play surround sound audio, having a center channel speaker is crucial and you should get it!
As for leaving the receiver outdoors, even when then unit is in a location that won't get rained on, there are still concerns regarding the dust in the air and things like morning dew that could lead to issues. Not to mention possible heat thresholds. Due to these concerns, we only recommend leaving outdoor rated gear outside.
@crutchfield coming out of a TV to something that will power my new speakers @ 100 watts x 4 what do you recommend then. 🤔
The Klipsch KHO-7s are rated at 75 watts continuous power. Do you want to stick with the 4 speakers total or do you think you will move to a surround sound system? What type of audio outputs does your TV offer? Are there any other features or connections you need?
Looking to add speakers for my outdoor tv. Would these work for that as far as connection? Sorry newbie here trying to see what to purchase
We will be happy to help! TV's typically do not have an amp built in to power speakers. HDMI inputs on a receiver will allow you to keep the control a bit simpler and not need an additional remote. The Marantz NR1200 receiver is an excellent choice. It has the HDMI connections and will give those speakers all the power they need to play their best. You can find it here:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_642NR1200/item.html
I just got a pair of these. Also got rock speaks from klipsch. Should I wire these in stereo if they are in the same zone as the rock speakers which will be in mini?
These Klipsch AW-650 speakers are meant to be used as a stereo pair (one speaker for the left channel audio and one for the right channel audio) and we recommend running them this way
Will the small Fosi audio equalizer be able to pick them up? I have these same speakers
What is your exact amp model?
@@crutchfield it's the Fosi audio BT30D
?
While no longer available for purchase through Crutchfield, I see no reason why the Klipsch AW-650's would not work well powered from your Fosi Audio BT30D. The Klipsch are extremely efficient and the Fosi amplifier provides roughly 50-watts of maximum rated power output (RMS does not appear to be listed in the specifications). You will be able to dial-in exactly the sound you prefer from the front panel EQ adjustments!

I am thinking of purchasing these speakers for a large back porch. Can you recommend an AMP with BLUETOOTH for these speakers? Looking for top end sound quality - and really need Bluetooth capability.
Great speaker choice! How many do you plan to use? Are there any other inputs or features you need in the amp? Are you able to place the amp indoors to protect it from the elements and how far would your device be for streaming? Bluetooth does have a limited range.
@@crutchfield Plan to use two (2) speakers. Additional input for HDMI ARC to TV. Amp would be outside but under covered roof. Would like Bluetooth range of 60 feet or so.
Bluetooth won't work at that range. Wi-Fi would be ideal. Do you have WiFi available at this area?
Is there something you can do/add to these to make them bluetooth capable? I am building a new patio and want quality speakers, but I do not want to run any wiring from my in-home stereo system to the outside. I simply want to have some great patio speakers that I can play music from my phone via bluetooth.
These Klipsch passive speakers do need to be wired to a separate amp for signal and power. The OSD BTP-650 are a better match with built-in Bluetooth here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc921/p_452BTP650W/OSD-BTP-650-White.html When mounting the power supply outdoors, you must use a GFI protected AC outlet with "in-use" waterproof cover.
@@crutchfield - Thank you, but the speakers you suggested are out of stock (in black) and I am wanting speakers for my patio now.
We currently have an outdoor amp that has Bluetooth and can be used with speakers like these Klipsch models. Here is a link to the amp:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rFBKc227/p_298OS440/item.html
What's the deal with the piece on the back that looks like it was snapped off?
The back of the speaker has provisions for mounting hardware and speaker wire. You can view that more closely via our website here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rIGRc921/p_714AW650/Klipsch-AW-650-White.html
I am thinking of using this in my backyard, they will have no overhang or covering and I am on a bay. Do you think they are waterproof enough/weather resistant enough?
The Klipsch AW-650s do feature an All-Weather design so no need to cover them. They are constructed from UV-resistant, glass-reinforced polypropylene, designed to handle the outdoor elements.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Enjoy!
Anybody have these hooked to Sonos connect amp?
What's the difference between this AW650 vs KIO 650
The AW650 (no longer available for purchase through Crutchfield at this time) can handle a little more wattage at 85-watts RMS vs. the KIO 650's 50-watts rms. The AW-650 is also quite a bit more sensitive (95dB compared to 88dB) so they will provide more output sound volume on the same amount of amplifier power.
@@crutchfield awesome thanks. There are actually 50% today on Amazon
Happy listening!
How would they compare to the Definitive technology AW6500?
These Klipsch speakers will have a brighter sound with a bit wider dispersion of that sound than the Definitive Technology AW6500. These speakers in comparison, will sound fuller and richer thank these Klipsch
Hello! Excuse me, this is better tan the aw525? Thanks
Same great sound quality from both; but, the AW650 does have a larger 6-1/2" woofer for even more bass.
Considering a pair of AW-650 as an upgrade to replace my KHO-7, will there be a noticeable improvement?
What do you feel the current model is lacking? What are you using for power?
@@crutchfield The KHO-7 sound is ok,
I'm hoping for an even richer sound and even better clarity on low-medium volumes,
I also would like the sound to reach farther without distortion.
I have a very simple fosi audio amplifier (Fosi Audio BT20A 100Wx2 ) because it needs to be small to fit into the waterproof box
I see now that they have models with 160W, 200W and even 300W X2, would it help if I purchase them?
These KW-650 speakers will improve the volume levels you can get with the amp you have it. Its sensitivity is higher by enough db's that we will be able hear an increase.
They cannot handle any more power, but there are other speakers that can handle more power and offer even bigger drivers to help push the sound further and sound a lot fuller to help cover bigger distances. it does need more power to do this so you could consider upgrading to the amp that gives 200 watts RMS x 2. We are referring to the Definitive Technology AW6500 speakers found here:
www.crutchfield.com/p_735AW6500B/item.html
@@crutchfield The 6500 does look great with the additional 10" woofer and the price difference from the Klipsch AW650 is minor.
To be honest I never heard of Definitive and therefore never considered this speaker, so I already purchased the Klipsch AW650 last Sunday.
The AW650 sounds good, noticeably better than the KHO-7, better bass and volume.
I don't think I could get a big enough amp to support the Definitive 6500 anyway.
I understand now that the Fosi Audio 200 or 300W x2 , had no Bluetooth and therefore not an option. The biggest Bluetooth amp they have is the BL20C which is 160Wx2
Do you think getting it will improve my sound even with the Klipsch? I do get distortion when on max volume, I think it should improve that, no?
Do you have another amp option considering it should be an outdoors amp? (then main advantage of Fosi Audio is that they fit in a small waterproof plastic box I got off Amazon)
We do not see that helping any as the 100Wx2 amp is already more powerful than the speakers need. We cannot see a way to improve their sound without expanding and adding more speakers or adding an amp/sub
Would a fosi audio 50w x2 be too little for these speakers.
A 50 watt RMS at 8 ohms x 2 channel amp would work well to power these speakers! They are highly efficient and don't need to get their to RMS watts to play well.
@@crutchfield what outdoor sub would you recommend to hook up to that same amp I mentioned above?
We do not expect that amp will be able to power these speakers and a subwoofer. Do you have two of those amps? If you do, can the amp be bridged down to 1 channel and what is the power output when it is bridged?
What receiver is best for 4 of these speakers?
Are there specific features that you're looking for? What types of sources will you be connecting?
Can you change the batteries or connect the speakers to an extra power bank?
The Klipsch AW-650 are passive speakers, and will require an amplifier, or receiver for power.
The Klipsch AW-650 do not use battery power.
@@crutchfield what amplifier or receiver do you recommend?
would you go with these Klipsch or BW AM 1 for music?

AM1 is the best
Would you recommend to mount them in the back of a back yard the front or the sides (on the fence posts) for the best listening experience
You could mount them in multiple places! you just want them to be even spaced on either side of the listening area! This will give you the best stereo image!
Do they work with Amazon elexa echo?
These are passive speakers. They will need an an amplifier/receiver to power them.
Can the grill be taken off?
Indeed they can!
Will they work as atmos speakers?
Sure, if you want to mount them on or near the ceiling they can be used in an Atmos configuration.
I've got a 30x50 shop i didn't realize how big they are i was planning on 8 is that overkill with a spl 120 sub and Yamaha 685
It really depends on your goals for the system and the performance you want from it as to weather that is overkill. What are your plans for this system? Are you converting the shop into a theater room? Planning on playing music in the background? Wanting something louder? Any other plans or goals that you have for this system?

Better to drive these speakers with 2X60wrms amplifier or with 2x100?
60 watts, as they are only rated for up to 85 watts RMS
@@crutchfield thanks.
100w rather over power then under power and cause clipping end up blowing ur tweeter
@@84Prich thanks a lot.
