@robert 2112, Welcome to the forum. Too much power is better than not enough. Just don't go nuts with the volume knob. In all seriousness, your RF-7IIIs will never see anything near what that amp has on tap. With the RF-7III spec'd at 100dB sensitivity, I bet 150w/ch 75w/ch continuous will blow you out of the room. https://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html Bill

Unless you absolutely have to visually match gear, you could do better than either amplifiers for the same or less $$$ with maybe an amp from Outlaw Audio or Monoprice, IMO. https://outlawaudio.com/shop/index.php?id_product=25&rewrite=model-7000x&controller=product https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=18682 As far as preamp/processors, either will do a fine job. Bill

Can't say enough good things about these special speakers. Good luck with your sale. Bill

This is a good deal. If the bride wouldn't shut me down, I would pull the trigger. Good luck with your sale. Bill

It "works" but would be better with a pair of RP6000Fs. Bill

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds/ele/d/surrey-south-klipsch-71-surround/7235572204.html Not a bad deal here. Bill

Very nice. Wish I lived a bit closer. Bill

Not really true IMO. I have owned more than 25 outboard amps(Acurus, B&K, Sunfire, Anthem, Adcom, Denon) from monoblocks to 7 channels, and never paid more than $500.00 for any of them. Never had failure that was not cheap to fix. As a matter of fact, only one channel failure and I bought it knowing about it. If I am not mistaken, it was a $100.00 output transistor repair. Bill

Better yet, get this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-RCX-4-Black-Home-Theater-Center-Channel-Speaker-Display-Used/254686581963?hash=item3b4c80d4cb:g:KgYAAOSwO5xfNVWO @mhughes, Welcome to the forum. Bill

@mhweb, Welcome to the forum. I have been using the first AVR I ever bought in 2002, an Onkyo HT-R500 to drive a pair of Celestion MP1's for my PC rig and have thoroughly enjoyed the performance. I have considered adding a small subwoofer to the game but since I use my over the ear headphones most of the time, I really have seen no need. Maybe look for a slim line AVR with digital inputs and a subwoofer preout and a pair of small passive Klipsch speakers like the RSX-4's and RW-8 subwoofer. Bill

@OneTinyIrken, Welcome to the forum. I would not get too caught up in the power specs thing, they can be very confusing to the average consumer. If the Denon 4700 specs at 125w/ch@8ohms(20Hz to 20kHz) at 0.05% THD, then it will have plenty of juice to drive your whole system in the average size room at "normal" levels. If you still feel it somewhat inadequate, then just add a stereo amp for your mains or 3 channel amp to drive your LCR. Amp power is cheap on the used market. Bill

I agree. I often stream Spotify with my Chromecast Audio with my Cambridge Audio 840C's built-in DAC and the sound quality(based on recording) is very acceptable. With that said, my understanding is that Chromecast Audio is better geared for music than HDMI equipped Chromecast Ultra. Don't hold me to that but that is what I have read more than once. Bill

@Sailer1, Welcome to the forum. If this is for a stereo or stereo + subwoofer rig only, then maybe look for better amplification like a stereo integrated amp or multifunctional stereo receiver. IMO, a pair of Heresys and a well integrated subwoofer "can" rival or even better a pair of Cornwalls. Bill

@jordanvo, Welcome to the forum. Where in Canada do you reside? I think you should seriously look on the used market for a pair of Klipsch towers near you. Bill

I did not think it was price bashing either. Besides, the OP's original post was a question about worth/price. Bill

I say think twice because $2450 is a good price for new Cornwall III speakers even though they are floor models. On the other hand $1300.00 is an average price for the Cornwall I but if you did decide to move up the chain, you could probably get that $1300.00 back if you were to sell them, if still in good condition. Welcome to the forum. Bill

I was specifically saying go for the RP6000F's and another subwoofer over the RP8000F's and a single subwoofer. Of course if budget($$$) allows. Yes the RP502s would be better but have the least amount of immediate impact on your overall sound. Bill

Totally agree with all of this. To save a tad of money, get the setup you stated above but, get a second subwoofer now or in the future. I personally think a second SPL-15 with have more impact than going a little bigger with the RP8000F's. Welcome to the forum. Bill

Very nice. Bill

I get it. It can be contagious. My current main speaker setup, RF-63's/RC-64, RS-35's, has been in place for the most part since the fall of 2008. Never have I thought seriously in "upgrading" my speakers except for adding/subtracting a few subwoofers through the years. Many good deals have been local to me on "upgrading" to RS-52's or RS-62's for surrounds but opted out every time. Are there "better" speakers out there, sure but when I am so pleased with my speakers I see no need. Bill

@MortenTS, Welcome to the forum. Looks like a pretty nice setup to me. No need to "upgrade" in my opinion. Bill

Man, it's dead out there, this should be gone. This CA CXA60 is 3 generations newer than my CA 640Av2 and I am sure a noticeable improvement(refinement). The 640A plays beautifully with my Heresy IIs as well as any other speaker I have demoed it with. Very punchy, neutral and balanced. I don't think you could go wrong with the CXA60. Bill

@Gina, Welcome to the forum. Where are these said pictures? Good luck with your sale. Bill

@Norbok, Welcome to the forum. The R-41SA's are the matching surrounds. Bill
