All,
I have the Klipsch reference line of speakers: RB75, RC-7, RS-7.
I am in the market to purchase a new receiver, and I am really leaning
toward the new Yamaha 5990, with thx select2, video upconversion,
and hdmi switching.
Now, I have been reading in quite a few forums that I should *NOT* pair a Yamaha receiver with Klipsch speakers.
The reason given is that the Yamaha receivers tend to be on the
"bright" side. (higher high's/treble) and the Klipsch speakers also
tend to be bright, so they do not make a good pairing.
However, after all my receiver shopping, I like the Yamaha receiver the best, as it fits all my needs and surround sound modes.
So my questions are:
- Should I be concerned about the above pairing? Note: I will not have a chance to demo these for myself before purchasing.
- Is anyone running Klipsch/Yamaha combo and happy with it? Anyone unhappy?
- If you don't recommend the pairing, then why, and what alternatives do I have?
Thanks in advance,
-Mike
What are your recommendations on receivers?
