@CanUhearMeNow, Welcome to the forum. Sorry none of us has greeted you by now. If only $50.00 more, then of course the newer model RP8000F. With that said, both models are very similar with incremental improvement with the RP8000F. Bill

I get the horsepower/headroom thing but the 2200's "90w/ch@8ohms" has some serious punch. I know because my A-S1000 is rated at 90w/ch and it punches way above it's weight class also. Don't get me wrong, I am an outboard amp proponent but was just curious. Bill

That Is exactly what I was going to list mine for about a year ago. I decided to hold on to it for a while longer. Very nice unit indeed and plays just about everything, very well. Good luck with your sale, Bill

Someone grab these amps. Believe me they punch way above their weight class and close to dead quiet. Good luck. Bill

Congrats on the new speakers. I am sure you will have few regrets with the upgrade. If the $$$ is available, grab one of these analog Yamaha integrated amps to pair with your Forte IVs.

You are not kidding. Bill

I do think if they were to shut the forum down, the continuous flow of word of mouth residual sales would slow down considerably. I know many of my Klipsch purchases, new and used, were prompted by forum member suggestions and good advice. Bill

@hibbs79, Where are you located? Maybe a forum member who lives close to you might have a quality 200w/ch amp for you to borrow and take a test drive before you sink 3K into a new amp. Bill

Perfectly. Vintage Marantz + vintage styled Klipsch =

Good timing in reviving this thread. I treated myself again. This time I did not "have" to sell any audio gear. Longines Legend Diver 36 Bill

I have my A-S1000 sitting on top of my CD-S1000 to help minimize vibrations. Probably only minimal benefits due to the robust build of the CD-S1000 at 33.1 pounds. Bill

@tosiddhartha, Welcome to the forum. Taking a look at the rear of your Sony receiver, I do not see any stereo preouts for you to connect an external amplifier. Bill

@trippg, Welcome to the forum. Forum folks, please give this new member some advice. Bill

Don't really know about the ferrofluid thing. All I know is that the RB-75 uses a 1.75 in. titanium dome compression driver.
