  1. Thanks for your response. Good question about the room. Actually it is a combination living room/dining room. The primay listening space (livingroom portion) is about 16X17 feet and I will have the speakers placed at the livingroom end. Does this make a difference concerning optimal speaker size? The other part of the equation in this mix is my wife and how much she is willing to let our stereo take over the livingroom and drain our bank account - I guess there are always trade offs. I think I have pushed things about as far as I can at this point in time with the purchase of the RF-62's. Do you have any good reading recommendations for a novice audiofile who wants to get a little more educated on the technical aspects of home stereo equipment? Again, thanks for the helpful response.
  2. I am in the process of purchasing some new speakers and a receiver for home stereo listening. While shopping at a local custom audion store I was looking at purchasing a Denon DRA-697CI receiver and Klipsch RF-52 floor speakers. The salesman encouraged me to consider the Denon AVR-1907 Surround Receiver (for expansion capabilities) and the Klipsch RF-62's (a step up in power and sound). My room size is 17X30 feet with 8 foot ceilings. While checking out the Klipsch web site I read an article about selecting speakers and it advised pairing speakers up with an amplifier with at least as much power as the speaker is rated to handle in order to avoid clipping or cutting, where the the amplifier is expected to deliver more current to a speaker than it's capable of doing and therefore sends distortion into the speakers. After looking over the specs on the above mentioned components I noticed that the Denon AVR-1907 receiver is rated at 85 watts per channel and the Denon DRA-697CI receiver is rated at 100 watts per channel while the Klipsch RF-62 speakers are rated at 125 w and the Klipsch RF-52 speakers are rated 100w. If I take the Klipsch web site article literally, it seems that the Denon DRA-697CI receiver and the Klipsch RF-52 speakers would be the best matched components of the ones we discussed. Do you have any thoughts on this? Also, any thought on speaker size for my room dimensions? Thanks for any input.
