Worth every penny at $700.00+.
Good luck with your sale.

Welcome to the forum.
Part of the problem is Netflix and Prime, as well as other "TV" networks.
At one time I did feel the only culprit was my RC-64 until I added a more neutral sounding amp(Acurus A200x3) to the mix. A little EQ with my NAD T175HD pre/pro and things became clear as a bell.

Best to call Aragon and have them service the amp , https://www.aragonav.com/contact
Your best bet of course.
I have owned two Acurus 200FIVEs, same as Aragon 2007 minus two channels, and one of them was purchased with a blown channel. Took it to my local electronics repair guy and yes the fuse was blown but that was due to a faulty output transistor on a single channel. Back then, about 13 years ago, I think I paid about $125.00 for the repair.

Maybe get another plate amp or make it passive with an outboard amp.

If you absolutely must buy one of the two at the moment, then I would go with the RF-82 II's over the R-820F.
No question.

I paired a 90's Onkyo integrated amp, I think an A-925, with my Heresy 2s in my bedroom for some time and the combination was wonderful.
Also ran an Integra DTM-40.4(same as Onkyo TX-8050) network stereo receiver with my Heresys in a spare bedroom and it too was a great combination.
Your Onkyo TX-SR805 is an overbuilt beast of an AVR with great capabilities. Definitely will not hurt to try.

One of my best friends of 54 years with Joe at Normans Rare Guitars. Hal giving Joe's 59 Les Paul a "test run".
The Les Paul on left in Joe's hands is about $7,000.00. Hal was asking Joe his opinion before purchasing it. The Les Paul in Hal's hands was Joe's and worth around $350,000.00. Hal said he had never been so nervous holding a guitar before in his life.

That is exactly what Hal said. A guitar geek through in through.

I don't think the RP6000F IIs will be a considerable upgrade to your home theater.
You already have a subwoofer to handle the low frequencies your R-41Ms can't handle,
so there's no hole to be filled. The only benefit I see would be the ability to play louder.
If you're not exceeding the volume capabilities of your bookshelf speakers now, then
I can't see any benefit of purchasing the floorstanders.
Of course we don't know all the specifics including what subwoofer is being used and room size, but moving from entry level small 4" bookshelf speakers to an upper tier pair of larger dual 6.5" floorstanders would have to yield noticeable improvements all around.

Now this idea would be something to consider if you wanted to upgrade without breaking the bank. Of course seamless subwoofer integration would be a must.

Yes it would be an upgrade due to size alone, with some other factors thrown in.
Being that the speaker is 39.6" tall, from the photo I would guess around 18.5 to 19.5 inches to bottom of lower woofer.

A couple of new sailcloth straps for my Longines HC 39. I think I am up to 13 straps now. Beats(cheaper) giving in to my obsession of buying every cool watch I come across.
Okay, I gave in to my obsession.
Longines Spirit 37mm with OEM brown leather strap and a couple of my aftermarket straps.

100 watts or better is what I suggest.
For an AVR I totally agree. For dedicated 2 channel stereo not really required.

does that one you recommended sound that good?
I have the "entry level" of the Yamaha analog integrated amps, A-S1000 driving my RB-75s and could not be more please. It is a 48.5 pound beast. It sounds fantastic with every speaker I have thrown at it including RF-63s. Heresys, and Heresy IIs. Search the web for reviews, professional and users, for the A-S3000, A-S3200 and majority consensus is very positive if not excellent.

You will have a very tough time finding anything of this quality up to $5000.00.
Come to think of it, the younger brother is an even better bang for the buck.

I really don't have to say it but even used the 63's are worth every penny at $700.00.

The room I'm working with is quite spacious, measuring 20x13 feet with a ceiling height of over 11 feet.

I think with these dimensions and your planned main listening position at 6 to 7 feet away from speakers, the Heresy IV's will be very adequate. You will not get the bass extension of the Cornwall III's, but will get some pronounced bass down to the H4's limits. Add a punchy subwoofer in the future if needed to fill the gap.

Love it so much I bought an OPPO 105 in Black. They are out there and do so much, CD player, DVD, DAC and streamer from a NAS or memory stick.
I love my 105 also but considering selling it because of the lack of use, as well as helping fund another watch purchase.
If interested, PM me and we can explore that.

@willland, Others? You all above water and ok?
We are good. Not much more than a a little past breezy(20mph) with intermittent downpours. At my house I have seen summer afternoon thunderstorms that kick up 60mph winds and drop 2 inches rain per hour. I guess we were blessed this time.
Thanks for asking.

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.
