  1. thanks for the info, but what do you guys think of my speaker selections? Specifically, does anyone have any input on whether they are appropriate or not?
  2. Good evening, fellow Klipsch fans. I'm a total noob to this community (as of 3 minutes ago). I am no audiophile, but I am (fairly) well-versed in the basics of home theater. My project is a set-up that will be in my bedroom (I am in college, living with my parents). The room is certainly not huge, but it is nicely sized for a bedroom (roughly 12 x 14). I am able to get Klipsch gear for good prices through a discount at my unnamed place of employment (two words, starts with a B and ends with a Y) so I figure, might as well take advantage of a good thing, especially considering my starving-college-student condition. My main conundrum is (among others, like using parenthesis too often) that I want to go with a speaker set up that I feel is going to be overkill. I want to do this, however, because I want a system that I can take with me as I will be moving out within 3 or so years. Anyway, down to business: My speaker choices are as follows: Fronts- RF-82s Rears- RB-61s Center- RC-52 Sub- RW-10D I am currently in heavy debate with myself on which receiver is more appropriate for my goals, the Harman/Kardon AVR 247 or the Denon AVR-687. Here again, I am concerned that I may be under powering my speakers (lethal!) or not doing them justice, and I am very worried about clipping. Please clarify this for me. The Harman is attractive because of its HDMI up-conversion of standard def sources and its beautiful body. The Denon is a contender in that I can save some money for similar power, and that I am very partial to the brand. Again, I am by no means an expert, so please feel free to correct me or hit me on the head with a shovel. my other equipment plans are: Onkyo DX-C390 CD player Either the Harman/Kardon DVD48 or the Oppo DV-980H for both upscaling movies and playback of SACDs, please advise on which to use Monster Power MP HTS 1600 PowerCenter (gotta use protection!) I am also going to be using my PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii, connected via component cables The TV is so far going to be the Sony Bravia 37" KDF-37H1000 LCD RPTV for cost and size considerations. If anyone here owns this TV, please give me your honest opinions of it. The system is definitely going to be a movie machine, but I am far more interested in listening to my classic rock (think Hendrix or Steve Miller Band) and a variety of other genres (classical, alternative rock [weezer], and ska, to name just a few). This is a lot of info, but it is everything I could think of. My main concerns are my speaker selections and my receiver confusion. PLEASE give me your honest opinions on this and tell me whether or not my speaker selections are appropriate for my needs/wants. I have asked a few (mostly uninitiated) friends for their opinions, and I have gotten things like "Why not just buy one that comes in a box with all of the speakers and a built in DVD player??" or "Oh, Bose makes awesome stuff! Go with them!" (see my username for my thoughts on that) Thanks everyone
