Welcome to the forum.
They look to be a pair of KG4s.
Pull the front cover off so we can confirm.

I was testing my newly purchased KL-650-THX connected to a Yamaha RX-V381
This may be a problem. Your Yamaha is entry level or near entry level and just may not have the horsepower to properly drive your THX system.

If you can afford to get that deal without selling your RF-5/RC-35 combo first, then that is what I say do. Maybe do a few comparison demos for a week or so and sell the ones you like least. That would truly be the only way to know which combo is best, to your ears.

Have anyone here tried an equilateral triangle position?
On 1/8/2022 at 8:32 PM, VintageHero said:I’m sitting about 7 feet from each speaker,
they are out 2 feet from the front wall and more or less 7 feet apart.
Wouldn't that be an equilateral triangle?

Really tough to say what would be ideal in your room without us being there.
Many things can factor in to affect imaging, soundstage, bass response, etc., not just placement.
If possible, I would start at about 9-10ft apart with a 10 degree toe in and adjust your listening chair to your liking.

The Yamaha really is only 100 watts per channel, RMS . It is safest to go by the RMS rating. According to Yamaha, Minimum RMS Output Power (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz) = 100 W + 100 W (0.019% THD). I don't see whether that is with both channels driven -- maybe it is specified somewhere else. It is preferable for the power spec to be with both channels driven,
I agree.
Found this bench test with both channels driven full bandwidth.
Yamaha A-S801 Full Power Bandwidth Continuous Sweep (185wpc, 4 ohms)
The A-S801 produced respectable output on the continuous sweep tests. For 8 ohms, two channels driven, output was around 105 watts/channel and 185 watts/channel for 4 ohms under 0.01% THD+N (well below clipping).

Welcome to the forum.
I have driven my RF-63s with my 90w/ch@8ohms Yamaha A-S1000 in my 5000 cu ft room and believe me it drives them with ease at higher volumes and high transient peaks. Bass drive is fast tight and punchy. That Yamaha A-S801, though not the 48 lbs beast that the A-S1000 is, should do a fine job with the RP-8000Fs.

I wonder if anyone that's heard them could explain why the Klipsch RB 75 is so sought after.
As a long time wisher of cherry RB-75s and now owner for the last 6.5 years, I can without question sing their praises. They are beasts(for "bookshelf" speakers). They are essentially "mini" RF7/RF-5 hybrids. Clarity and detail and punch are their fortes, pardon the pun. I could easily "replace" my RF-63s(which I will not) with the 75s and not miss a beat.

Can't really claim they have placement advantages over say the RF-5s due to pretty hefty stands requirement.

Welcome to the forum.
Too bad about the KL-650-THXs. Before considering another speaker, do what you can to repair the "broken" ones. May not be an expensive fix.
Just my take.

Welcome to the forum.
In my opinion, if the RC-64III is not an option for you, then the 504 or 450 will probably work pretty good. No to the R-34C.
You may consider and older RC-7 as an alternative to the considerably wider RC-64 III. The RC-7 is chunky but does have that wonderful 1.75" compression driver that should/could match up pretty well with the RF-7 IIIs.

say what you want. Again if you don’t like it, or disagree. Speak up or move along.
I disagree. Some folks, maybe even on this forum, have it out for others, and will try to sabotage the sale. Even when it is completely legit.
I know, I have had that attempted on one of my items for sale a few years back.

Welcome to the forum.
I do think you could get away with the RP-600Ms in your room with your subs integrated properly. They sound pretty big for their size.
On the other hand, the RP-8000Fs will edge them out a bit for HT and of course will clearly be better for stereo music.

I understand the NAD-C316 BEE is a very nice clean sounding amp (audiophile quality) Does anyone have experience with NAD's or does the Yamaha A-S301 best it for quality sound? Or is Denon better than Yamaha?
I have experience will all three of those brands and have been more than pleased with all.
I currently have NAD in two different rigs and Yamaha in another. I have owned several 80's/90's Denon integrated amps.

Possible purge down to just family room rig.

So far, based on what I've read online, brands like ARCAM, NAD etc are more focused on better sound quality due to superior components, whereas, OTS brands such as Onkyo/Integra/Pioneer, Denon, Yamaha etc are more feature rich from a $$$ value for the money.
From my experience, you have to go up to near flagship models of the more consumer brands to get better build/quality parts that are geared more to sound quality.

1) Nad D3020 V2
2) Denon PMA 600NE
3) Yamaha A-S301
4) Nad-C316 BEE
All good choices but add this to your short list.

The best most seamless front LCR for HT is 3 identical speakers oriented the same. Period. Most HT setups are not dedicated rooms with projection screens so most folks, including me, "compromise" and get the "matching" horizontally oriented center speaker. In my case an RC-64.

@willland is sort of big on them.
Yes, I have been very impressed with every 80's/90's Denon product I have ever owned. The PMA-700V being one of them. Rock solid reliable and great sounding.
Very impressive innards.

Welcome to the forum.
I see no one has replied as of yet. Hopefully someone on this forum is familiar with your speakers and can help you.
Not sure if they are Klipsch or what model they are.

Does anyone have experience with the KL-650-THX

Yes, and the Denon 3805 is an upper midlevel/near flagship AVR and pretty potent for an AVR.
