I wanna thank all you Jedi audiophile masters for the invaluable insiders information on this topic of bigger speakers VS external amp. Seem like the verdict is out and I'm gonna have to save up to get bigger size woofers like the famously towers rf-62 or rf-82 instead of buying the XPA-3. But I wonder if just relying on my receiver alone will provide enough juice to power these woofers when using it in a 5.1 movie setting. Thanks to all you great people on this forum!

Hey thanks for your insight. Man you sure seem to know what your talking about. I knew that someone out there had some knowledge on these speakers and amplifier. I would definitiveley look into the rf-52's speakers . I think I have a better understanding now. What an amazing system setup you got! Thanks once again for your knowleadgeable input.. It sure helps me understand this better.

Hey thanks for your insight! Greatly appreciated. I do have a sub velodyne 150 watt. And I have a small room. Thanks.

This forum of knowledgeable people made me a believer in Klipsch speakers. Before that I had sony, Yamaha, bose, and boston acoustics. I finally saved money to try out klipsch . Very happy with these speakers, they are definitely more efficient than all the speakers I''ve wasted my money on. Still, I'm always trying find what else I can do to make my speakers sound as close as possible to a movie theater, where the sound is so crunchy, full of detail, very clean, and has that peculiar dialogue that just stands out. I go to my home theater and I just can't seem to hear that movie theater-like sound from my speakers. So a lot of talk out there says that by adding an external amplifier like the Emotiva XPA-3 which can put 200watts RMS on each of the 3 channels (which is what I would mostly care for the fronts) can improve my sound by a lot... So my question to anyone who knows about power, RMS, amplifiers and the like Please tell me 1) whether or not this extra amplifier will make much of a difference ..... and 2) Can my speakers handle the extra watts or will this amp damage my speakers up the volume at low levels I don't listen to loud volume and not looking for loudness. I listen at a volume at -30db from the reference sound being at 0db. My gadgets are the following: ___________________________________ Onkyo HT-RC180 is a 7.2 channel with pre-outs in the back. Center Klispch RC-42 II rated at 75 watt RMS Fronts Klipsch RB-41 II rated at 50 watt RMS Surrounds Klipsch Quintet 5.0 rated at 50 RMS (not relevant since don't plan to use an external amp on these) Please let me know. I have no idea if this will make any difference or just leave it like that.. Thanks.....[]
