Mi budget is from U$3.000/U$5.000 (or euros). But por example, Musical Fidelity at U$7.500 (here in mi country) or TECHNICS R1000 at €7.500 is jawdroping sound, can wait.
My room is 8x5 meters. A100 sounds loud, but no the way I wanted, I don't know how can I express in english... it has no impact, and is like a person screaming in my ears, but not deep bass. I want loud without distortion, if it is possible with this speakers of course. It's only when I do partys, 1 or 2 days a month, but that's what I want.

Sounds to me like what you need is a separate amplifier for your main speakers, let the Receiver power the center and surrounds. Quick internet search tells me the A100 has pre-outs, have you considered this as an option?
Thanks for your answer.
No, I want only stereo in my living room, multichanel in anohter room, that's why I'm selling the 7200WA. I will use A100 as multichanel with RP8000F.I think there are a lot of RF7II users, and some of them tried diferent combinations I could share their experiencies, meanwhile I continue reading posts on the internet.

Hi.
I always listen stereo music in a receiver combination, my last two receivers are: DENON AVR-A100 in use, and DENON AVR-7200WA (in use, trying to sell).
I'm happy owner of a pair RF7II (RC-64II, RS-62II) but i'm tired when I crank the A100 sound "shouty". Loud but not beefy or feel slam on my chest. At 0db is more like an scream.
So now I'm looking for an integrated amplifier, It will be my 1rst integrated, so I have no idea.
I was watching reviews about: Musical Fidelity, M6 500, Technics SU R1000, ROTEL 1592II, even McIntosh. but i don't know wich is better.
I want power, sound quality. I don't stream. Don't have problems with neighbours, so loud music is not my problem. I wan clean loud volumen and feel bass as loud as possible.
By the way, right now can't change speakers, here in my country the offer of Klipsch is very limited, RF7III or La Scala, never came.
Thanks in advance!

Well folks, the guy form the electrical store said that more gauge than 4mm won't change anything.
I put two 4mm cables (one on each sub) and a copper terminal at the sub's chassis only (one on each sub).
Pure cable at the amp's GND.
Almost zero noise.
I don't know what was the issue, the electrical installation of the house is the same that when I bought the subs...
By the way, tested the ground loop isolator after I installed the cables, no difference, it didn't raise the hum, either put the hum to zero.
Thanks guys, specially to jason!
Regards from Argentina.

215 "pesos", about U$S 14.
Maybe it's defective, I'm gonna call today.
I tried with speaker cable (I don't know the gauge) and the noise it's almost to zero.
Bought 4mm electricity cable and it's the same, maybe more mm? I don't know.
-
Can I use speaker wire or electricty wire?
-
Bell wire isn't enough?
-
I found this:
A simple mains hum remedy is grounding/earthing the subwoofer back panel to the amplifier.
Most amplifiers have a GND (ground or earth) terminal on the back panel for this purpose.
This Ground terminal can be connected to a small diameter electrical cable (bell wire) between this terminal and the subwoofer back panel.
Carefully remove one of the outer screws on the Subwoofer amplifier panel, remove a small amount of paint (under screw head) in order to make a reliable electrical connection.
A small ring crimp can be used to terminate the cable on the subwoofer panel.The sound was reduced.
There are only 2 pins on the power back of the subwoofer, maybe it could be replaced... I will search more.Thanks jason!

If the ground loop isolator is doing its job you should have no noise.
Yes, but I don't think is working, the noise is unbearable.
Maybe it's true that model is only for audio car... I'm so sad.
-
Finally, I bought the gorund loop in Argentina, installed = AWFULL noise, it's 100 times more hum noise...
Monday gonna try to replace, maybe defective? I don't know...
-
The only ground loop isolator in my local crap market is this: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-611713162-aislador-de-masa-para-potencias-blauline-gl-205-_JM
They say it's for car audio... will it be compatible for home audio?
-
Just want to be sure here.
Did you unplug the subwoofer input RCA and still had noise ?
Yes, no rca cable = no noise.
RCA cable = noise
RCA cable + avr power on = more noise
Yesterday I watch some movie, in some scenes, the noise was heard.
I'm reading some subwoofer cable's reviews in Amazon, they talk about the "shielded" and "gauge"... maybe I also try replacing the cables.

I have never had the need for one.
If buying from Amazon pick one that is popular with a good owner satisfaction would be my recommendation.
Let us know how you like your new subwoofers after everything is completed.
I connected 1 sub without the Y splitter, same noise.
A friend is travelling to USA, is there a subwoofer cable that solve this problem?
-
You need to install a good ground loop isolator on your subwoofer RCA cable now and should be good to go.
Maybe you can recomend me one or two brands? I usually buy in Amazon.
Thanks again
-
Any updates ?
Hi!
I put some music and wait til the hum come, then, I disconnect EVERYTHING except the sub = NOISE.
Then disconnect the RCA = no noise... maybe the Y splitter? I think no, because I made some test with a different cable, a Monster 1000, without the splitter and the noise was there.
Thanks jason!

Unplug your transformer/receiver.
Noise still there with the subs plugged into the other outlet ?
Less, but yes, still the hum...
My 5.3.HUM ajjajaj
-
You mentioned you had a hum before with the RCA unhooked correct ?
If so was the sub plugged into a different power outlet ?
Both subs on the same power outlet, I just tried with a longer cable in another outlet, and the same hum noise.
-
Unplug the receiver and the RCA subwoofer input cable.
Any hum at all ?
No noise!
-
With the RCA sub input cable unhooked ?
Cable unhooked, LFE knob in any position = no noise
Cable hooked, noise again.
-
If you disconnect the transformer does the hum go away ?
No, but the noise is less.
Another weird thing is when I move the LFE knob, to then "non LFE positions", noise is reduced., almost to zero.
-
got any dummys?
I don't know what is that.
I found something:
Noise reduced when Denon AVR-A100 is power off in stand-by mode.
The Denon is 110v, with a "transformador" to 220v.
Maybe the receiver is dirtying up the power somehow? Do you have another receiver you could try?
I don't have another receiver or amp (by now)

I put the antenna cable in another place, same problem, I don't know if it's in guarantee yet, I'll contact the seller.
Thanks!

I found a little difference: no rca, minimum hum. WITH RCA (2 different cables) = hum
One more test. Do this, except don't plug the RCA into the receiver, just the sub. Does it still happen? Just wondering if the RCA is working as an antenna.
yes, same noise!
it's like an old refrigerator

Anyone has tried 4 speakers combination? like A+B? an alternative is try 4 RP800F instead (I already have a pair)... I'm searching info on the net.
Thanks to everybody for your replies/ideas.
