It appears @csk158 means "monster" 70's Japanese receiver.

A dead on arrival R-117 is worth more than $125.00. Somebody go get it.

Do you think the amp I have will suffice though? I only use it in stereo or pure direct mode and don’t bother with any of the Dolby or other settings
Of course it will work, but stereo sound quality will be compromised some.
As good as my RF-63s sound in stereo driven by my NAD pre-pro/Acurus A200 combo, they sounded better driven by my Yamaha A-S1000 integrated stereo amp, same room, same placement.

Hi all, I read a comment on the web a couple months ago where a guy said "the 6000s sound a bit more natural in the mids than the 8000s".
I figured that if true, it might be because the 6000f's woofers, being smaller, therefore less mass, might be better able to render mid-range.
I think there might be some validity to that theory. I feel like that is what makes my RF-63s so special and balanced.

You could semi-build your own for cheap like the ones I have with my RB-75s.
Or just go to monoprice.com.

RSW-15
in Subwoofers
No doubt. Even if the amp craps out in a months time, $150.00 to $200.00 to repair/replace would still make it a "bargain" IMO.

Yes, your receiver will push both of those pairs just fine.
Agree but just be cautious with the volume due to receiver seeing two pairs of 4 ohms speakers.

Have you played with positioning and phase to get it to sound better at your listening position and not disturb others? How about running it nearfield?
Very good suggestion.

I would definitely get an amp. I'd suggest a three channel amp to power your LCR, then let your AVR handle the rest.
I agree totally unless you find a really good deal on a 5 or 7 channel.

The used market is your friend where more horsepower is cheap.
Not sure of your location but here is a great suggestion for little $$$.

$600.00 for a pair yes.
not a Single speaker. Are you joking ?
so your saying you will buy a pair of 75’s for $1250-1300
This is a prime example of what happens when a forum member(me), does not read the entire original post.
What a dork I am.
Thanks for "kindly" pointing out my obvious glazing over the important details.👍

Well don’t see it selling for $600
since it has been opened up, cross over worked on. Etc
That would not deter me. $600.00 is a great price IMO.

If these were the fluff pieces in the package, what are the ones you are keeping?
Good luck with your sale.

Welcome to the forum.
Congrats on the La Scalas.

The previous owner most likely clear coated them with a poly but of course can't verify that myself. Maybe post some photos so others can help you out there.

Bummer, I hate when folks do that.

You should get plenty of responses about this and how to.

We have Spectrum right now for cable/internet and the prices have gone completely crazy.
We just have the Spectrum TV Choice app(24.99) and are more than satisfied. We had Dish since 1999 with 250+ channels and were quite skeptical going to 15 selected channels plus locals(extra) and about 30 "fluff" channels. We found the phone apps to be pretty stable as well as with the Roku and Samsung TV apps.

The ATI 1502 is a beast of an amp and definitely has the power advantage but if it were me, I would keep it simple and go with the Pioneer SX-950.

RF-52II for $700.00, way over priced IMO.

I was recently fortunate enough to purchase a nice pair of RB-75’s.
Welcome to the club.
2 hours ago, mcp said:Can anyone who’s owned these speakers suggest an integrated amplifier (non vintage) that matches well with them?
I am very pleased with the results I have been getting with my Yamaha A-S1000/CD-S1000 combo for the last 6 or so years. Neutral tonally with great detail. Very balanced from head to toe.
No sure what your budget is but I highly recommend any of these analog Yamaha integrated amps. The A-S1000 is the "entry" level offering from the first generation of the tank-like all analog models. They are dead quiet with uncanny ability to just let the music flow.
2 hours ago, mcp said:I am currently borrowing a Rega IO and it sounds fantastic. My only gripe is that the remote increases/decreases the volume too quickly which renders it unusable for these sensitive speakers.
The volume knob/remote volume button is very well designed and increases/decreases at a very manageable pace. Also, the tone controls are the best I have ever used.
As mentioned, the A-S1000 is the lower tier of these integrateds so I can only imagine what the mid and upper levels would bring to the show.

Welcome to the forum.
Nice amp for the price.
What is your budget?
Where is your location?

Welcome to the forum.
You got yourself a very nice pair of speakers. If you got them for free and don't have to sell them right now, enjoy them for a little while. If undamaged, they will retain their value and a year from now will still be desirable. Market value today would be in the 800.00 to $1100.00 range and will be at least that a year from now.
Where is your location?

HELP ME ON RP 6000F + AMP PAIRING AND MORE
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
If music is your thing, then I would get an integrated stereo amp in that price range, new or used.
The 6000Fs should be fine in that room provided your main listening seat is within say 15 to 18 feet of the main speakers.
100% necessary, no but it sure will enhance the overall experience if integrated properly.
