This ATI amp below will have no problem doing what you need.

Not sure if you need a preamp also.

My receiver denon x 2700h, and yes I can make it surround but I just wanted the center or center with front R and L only.
Is the You Tube TV app on your SMART TV, Roku, Firestick, etc?

Welcome to the forum.
Can you adjust the bass/treble with any of the pre-installed music apps on your phone?
Also, make sure you have the volume setting on the Capitol One in perfect sync with your devices volume control.

Welcome to the forum.
Not sure what size room you have but I would get at minimum an upper midlevel AVR from one of the major brands, Marantz, Yamaha, Denon, etc.

Another question is about MSRP of these speakers.
I can't find the new price anywhere.
RB-61------$499.00 in 2009
RC-10-----$$$
RW-10-----$500.00 in 2004
12 hours ago, Mystery said:I tried both centers with RB61 and the RC3 matches and sounds better.
Is that good enough or should I get newer center?
If it sounds better, then go with it. If a newer RC-62 or RC-35 comes along at the right price, then get it.

My buddy bought a Monolith 7 channel to drive his RF-7s/RC-7/RS-7s/RB-35s combo in his 4000ft3 HT and that amp is sure impressive. Neutral, punchy, dynamic. Never close to running out of gas even at high SPLs. He uses his flagship Onkyo to drive the Atmos channels.

Are they walnut finish??? You got pic of them?
They look to be oak from the bases but not 100% sure because with the limited lighting I just can't tell for sure. Hopefully they still have labels.

With the recently released Heresy IVs now the norm, other versions creep up in price for those who want a pair but just can't see themselves going the new speaker route. I think on average $1200.00 is kind of steep with $800.00 to $1000.00 being the top out for a "mint" pair with all the fixin's.
14 hours ago, formanj said:Also, I currently possess a Stereotech 1200 receiver, and I am wondering if anyone has any idea about how that might pair with this set of Heresy IIs.
Never heard this one but do feel that Heresys(I, II, etc.) are pretty amplifier friendly and have never had any issues mating them with the likes of NAD, Anthem, Acurus, Sansui, Denon, Onkyo/Integra, Cambridge Audio, B&K, Yamaha, etc.

Are you sure that the Nano sub is a 10", all I could find was the 8"?
20 hours ago, marcus923 said:Just curious if a better sub would be a "nice to have", or a "need to have".
I say yes and at minimum a powerful 12" subwoofer.
What are your room dimensions?

On 1/30/2021 at 6:11 PM, MRych said:I have recently upgraded to 820f floor speakers, running off a Yamaha RX-A780 receiver. I was thinking about adding a amp for the towers??
Is this a good idea?? If so, what amp options should I look at.
Quality clean amplification is always a good thing IMO. Look for a high current stereo amp, or 3 channel if you want to drive your center speaker, with maybe 125w/ch with all channels driven. Plenty of good quality affordable amplifiers on the used market. Parasound, Anthem, Adcom, Rotel, B&K, Acurus, to name a few that pop up on the local Craigslists.
As suggested by @wuzzzer, maybe have mods move this thread to the technical/modifications forum.

RF-7III's are not book matched, consecutive serial numbers only means that you got the luck of the draw. That's not the norm. It's only meaningful with Heritage.
I stand(sit) corrected.
Thanks for clarifying that. The old "assuming" thing.

Welcome to the forum.
A little odd because all veneer should be cut from the same sheet and book matched to the other speakers with consecutive serial numbers.
Are they B Stock which might explain things?
Also, if it bothers you and triggers some OCD, you could always set the speakers outside and give the lighter veneer a little suntan to catch up with the rear veneer. It does work. That is what I did to match my new natural cherry speaker stands to my 10+ years old RB-75s.

Oppo, oppo, absolutely Oppo!
I own 105, the best multiformat player I ever had, best valute for the money, IMHO.
Agree that it is a wonderful all around player in every format and the best universal player I have ever owned but for stereo SACD's, the Yamaha CD-S1000 that I own edges ahead.

RSW-15 Cherry, still need to test, but assumed to be working, has original box and could be shipped. 95#
Would love this to match my cherry RB-75s but still have not had my cherry RSW-10d repaired so can't pull the trigger.
Good luck with your sale/sales.

Found a good local deal on a pair of RF-82 IIs. Any suggestions for an appropriate (timbre-matching) center?
Yes, RC-62II.
An RC-62 would match at about 90% to 95% I would bet.

Welcome to the forum.
Nice inheritance. You have yourself a pair of Klipschorns in raw Douglas fir(KDFR). Not sure of year built but I know others will chime in to better describe exactly what you possess. What I also know is that you possess a nice piece of audio history that IMO, is worth restoring and keeping in the family.

Good luck with your sale my friend.

I am still looking for a decent amp, looks like a lot of places are sold out or backordered. I was hoping to get the 11x from monoprice but that won't be available till March.
Have you considered these instead.

GREAT!!
Movie!!
One of my all time favorites. Brings back memories walking the tracks looking for track kill(not humans), crossing the trestle hoping no train comes, walking/wading through leach and cottonmouth infested swamps.
Back to Hank Aaron. It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch the clip of him breaking the record and rounding the bases and the two bold admiring fans patting him on the back.
