Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Frequency problem (50Hz & 60Hz)

Well, loudspeaker drivers ARE pistonic motors, but they're driven by the music signal coming FROM the amplifier, not the wall current going TO it. You won't hurt your speakers.

The power supply of the amp in your Klipsch speakers shouldn't care about the frequency on the incoming current, as long as it's the right voltage.

The concern would be with AC-synchronous rotary motors, like you might have in a CD player or turntable. They are designed to rotate at the frequency of the AC reaching them, and would turn at the wrong speed.
