Wow, im getting deeper into this than I originaly bargained for. Completly my fault. If I wanted a simple setup I could have opted for a crappy HTIB by yammy, sony or heaven and hell forbid by bose! Ok ever so wise and ancient one: Room size is a variable. Im looking at two options, one room is roughly 15x27. They are living room spaces not small or large. Music will be the primary use for the system. I antcipate 85% usage for music with movies after that. As stated in my first post, I will be adding a RC-7 followed by an RW-12 within a 6 month window or less. As much as I would love a 5.1 setup, its not going to happen, at least atm. Im trying to find the best option that will allow me to upgrade and expand without having to replace to many components. Im not looking for earth shattering power that would put a shuttle lift off to shame. As most if not all posters here desire, I want a rich warm and full sound from these speakers that can crank it without breakin the bank. Originaly I was lookin at purchasing a high end avr (denon 3805) or possibly a lower end model and coupling it with a decent amp to compensate for the lack of power the higher end model would provide. I have been told and read many accounts where tubes are the best option for audiophile quality sound. Suggestions are needed! If I can purchase an optimal component system that would outshine a high end avr, I will go for it as im trying to be as cost effective as possible.

Alrighty then, Im going to visit my Ultimate Elec salesman and see what kind of deals he can ink for me for either the Denon 2805 or 3805. Thanks again for the advice, and I will update you with my purchase. Joe "god, this addiction is worse than drugs"

It seems the 3085 is the preferred choice for a 35 setup. What was the going price that you received for your avr? Also, since Klipsch speakers are very efficient, should I be to worried about purchasing an avr thats below a Denon 3085 build and merely coupling it with a good amp to compensate for the decrease in wattage to the speakers? Thanks for the information! Joe

Guys, I need some good advice, I recently bought a pair of rf-35's for a wonderful price of 500 for the pair. Love it. I need to know, in an honest opinion what kind of receiver would be good to power these. I m adding an rc 7 and a subwoofer later on,(rc 7 within 3 months or less) so something to adequatley power these. I am more keen on listening to music, with movies as a second use for this system. From reading many forum posts on here, it seems that Denon is a perfect match for Klipsch. Ive audtioned the Denon avr1905 and wasnt impressed, as the sound seemed anemic, and not very rich. Im aware of Yammies and Sony, so theres not even an option for thier products. Am i better off getting a slightly more expensive Denon, or a Pioneer Elite or possibly a Harman Kardon? I have already told by my local Klipsch dealer not to spend no less than 500 for good sounding system. Help me out guys as this is my first true Klipsch system as my GMX-D and ProMedia 2.1's dont cut it any more. I have been infected. joe

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> o god, i dont work for either one of them. I personally found it neat that another company decided to build yet another all in one unit. Expensive? Yes. Will people buy it? Yes. Its another product that will be bought for its space saving and multifunctional use. I knew that id get a rise out of this group, where taking short cuts and cutting corners is looked down upon for a quick dollar. (bose n polk) and for the record, Klipsch forever el jopez "in spanish 'el' means 'the"

true, any "all in one" or compact device will always be expensive, take for example a quality laptop. When compared to boses' similar product, the price is actualy reasonable. For a 150 more of said product, you get a cd player thrown into the box. Not that id ever purchase anything from them, point merely that there is competition out there, which is good for the consumer and market. el jopez

For years Bose has dominated the market with a very expensive alarm clock ripping off countless individuals, but not no more. Introducing, courtesy of a real stereo company, the new I-Sonic: http://www.polkaudio.com/home/partners/press/release.php?id=50 Features: HD Radio Dvd Playback XM Radio And other multimedia functionality expected in todays market which of course, Bose can never match. Thank god, a new day has dawned. el jopez "now to convert bose lovers with a real alarm clock"
