Anyone have any experience with the B&K AVR507 with the RF-7, RC-7, RSW-15 set up?
-
I currenlty use a B&K 200.2 amp and a Yamaha 2300 as the pre-amp. I am thinking about going with the AVR507 from B&K, any thoughts?

I knew that would be the answer, really what i want to know is why? I currently have RF-7s and am very pleased with the sound but have heard the Khorns sound even better. My question is how much of an upgrade are the Khorns over the RF-7s and how will they outperform the MLs? Also a lot of the postings focus on Jazz, which i do not listen to, how the the Khorns sound with folk?

I am considering purchasing either Klipschorns or the new Martin Logan Vantage ($5K) for a 2 channel set up. How would the two compare? I listen to mostly folk and rock, i am really interested in the best acoustic guitar and vocals sound.

I currently have a reference set up for HT and 2 channel and i am
thinking about setting up a second room just for 2 channel. I
have read great things about the Klipschorns but have never heard
them. Also I have listened to the Martin Logans and really like
their sound. How much of an improvement are the Klipschorns over
the RF-7s? Also how do they compare with the Martin Logans?
The new Vantage is around $5,000 and that is approxiamatley what I am
looking to spend.

Most likely 2-3K , I have read good things about a Marantz SR850, the B&K AVR507 and the Sunfire Ultimate, I am leaning towards the B&K because I am impressed with the amp I currently have by them. The Marantz is about 1.5K which would be great but I just don't know how much of an improvement it would be from my current Yamaha 2300? I can't find any retailers that sell both Klipsch and Marantz or B&K

I have a question regarding a good receiver pairing for my RF-7s. I currently have a reference series set up for HT and 2 channel music. I am using a Yamaha 2300, 100 -110 (not exactly sure) X 6 channel receiver, to power my RC-7 center and my Klipsch in-wall speakers for rears and have an additional B&K 200 x 2 amp powering my RF-7s. The added B&K improved the 2 channel sound and the HT sound was always good enough for my taste, but I still feel that the combination can be a bit harsh at higher volumes. I have read several articles that mention the Yamaha can be a harsh or bright receiver and that the RF-7s sensitivity will bring this out. What would be a recommendation for getting a warmer sound for 2 channel listening, I have heard NAD, Pioneer Elite, Denon, Rotel or B&K. I want the most musical receiver and warmer sound and would prefer not to have to got the separates route.

I am currently using a B&K 200.2 amp to drive my RF-7s and a Yamaha 2300 as a Pre amp and as an amp to drive my RC-7 and my surrounds. I am thinking about upgrading to the B&K Reference 50 for my preamp and adding a B&K 125.7 to drive the center and the rears. How much of an improvement with the Reference Pre-amp and the 125.7 add?
