Klipsch Belle center channel hook-up

I have a Belle Klipsch that was made as a center channel only.....Small problem hooking it up.....The tech at Klipsch says I need a pre-amp with a center channel out-put, and I need to get rid of my Audio Research Pre-amp................Does anyone on this forum know how to get a hold of someone at Klipsch that knows something about the old school speakers and hook up...............Let me know    Will

Sir: I would say this system was designed special for this speaker.....The problem is I can't seem to find a old-school Klipsch person , at Klipsch that can understand this type of network.............This is not something you can guess at, I'm not hooking up a bunch of expensive audio equipment without know whats correct................Will

What I am trying to get across to the readers is this speaker seems to have a rather large passive summing network.....It looks like a very large crossover, about the size of (3) AA crossovers.......It appears that there are two 5 way input connectors which are jumped together......This was one of the last Belles ever built, and was built as a center channel only.........Will

There are all kinds of issues, like phase, polarity and of course right and wrong and right and left.......Millercarbon , do you work on electronics or just visit forums for something to do ??    You can't just hook things up to see what happens.......One polarity problem with a 400 watt Bedini amp and you won't need a center channel, you will need a new house..........Will
