I've had the RX-V2400 for about 6 weeks and I'm with SteelerFan, I also don't care for this combo, especially the center channels. I initially bought the RC-35 but did not like the sound (too harsh!), so I bought a new RC-7 about 3 weeks ago and it too seems too harsh. For cables, I originally bought the DH Labs Q-10 cables which now have about 300 hours on them, but the RC-7 is still too harsh sounding. Several days ago I changed the cables to a 14GA OFC but the sound did not change that much.
I'm sort of okay with all the speakers EXCEPT the front RC-7.
Anyone have any suggestions, it just seems that the RC-7 should not be hurting my ears after an hour or so of listening ??? My only solution right now is listening at a low volume.
I should also mention that I mostly use my system for home theater, not much music yet.
If I were to buy a different new receiver, what do you all recommend as the 'perfect match' with Klipsch ???
