its the Denon poa 2400 look it up, that is an amp and will make them fortes sing, surely a reciever will do the job but the more balls u feed them fortes the better them forte speakers r great!

the denon model was POA some thing? and I think it was a four ch

what I recommend is a 2 ch power amp if posible, high current , My father in the 80's had a pair of the fortes 1s not the 2s with an old denon amp from back in the day which had the long red live across the front i dont know if any body knows which ones am talking about and them fortes really really slamed I sounded as if a band was playing right in front of u, the amp was i think 180 watts per @ 8 ohms

u r right placement does make a huge diffrence, for the rf 7s what I learned was the farther away they r from the wall works the best, it lets the woofers breath and u can hear a much deeper thomp in the bass area, as for the rsw 15 the closer to the wall the better. and tilting in the fronts as well to u more make them sound even better.

the RC 7 would be the next thing to get later, thats what the sales guy told me then I bought the rc 25, he said when cranked up it would not be able to keep up with the rf 7s in Music, which I really dont use.

U R right I was thinking that to becuse when I do watch movies I have to lower the channal levels on the rf 7 s becuce I could not hear the dialog on the movies and also had to turn up the center level. the rf 7 s drowned the center out, keep in mind this is then its turned up extremelly loud, I relly never listen to music in 5 ch just in 2 ch so I dont notice it there, in PURE DIRECT mode which is a denon music mode which gives u the cleanest sound in music,its very neuteal which sound really good with those rf7s.

ha ha funny u mention that because I remember going to the raiders game when they played the bengals and seen MR OHCO CINCO tear the raiders secondary up for like 200 yards, this was before he got to be big time, I think it was the first year he started , before i did not know who he was but after that game I sure did.

the cables at first did sound a bit flat and dry but I think becuse every thing was new but later they sounded better. the cables did sound good compare to others like the original monster speaker cables. the zseries picked up more detail

what do you think of my system? good start as a klipsch fan Reciever: Denon 4802R (7 channal) THXultra2 Power Amp: Harman Kardon Signature Series 2.1 2Ch 200x2@8 ohm 325x2@4 ohm for (rf-7s) DVD: Sony for movies and music (digital) opt for movies AND ANALOG for music Fronts: RF-7s Center: RC-25 Surrounds: RS-25 Subwoofer: RSW-15 All monster cables Z series
