Hi guys....I'm new to all this but seeking some helpful advice. I'm looking for two things the best bang for the buck and an attempt at a relatively energy efficient home theater setup. I don't really care about volume as I never listen to anything very loudly and to be honest when I walk into a home theater store I usually think everything that's not cheap sounds pretty good. I know energy efficiency is not a typical priority but ideally the high sensitivity of a Klipsch set up would help there. I have also been trying to find a good receiver that uses a class-d amp but all I can find are the lower end Sherwood 604/HK bds 5 or the high end elite sc series but nothing in the range I am looking for. Below are a few deals I am considering. Part of the issue is a step higher in the synergy (F-20) vs a step lower in the reference (rf-42ii) and the other part is the sub, I like the SW-450 because it is Klipsch and I know it uses a class-d amp and know nothing about the others being offered in the packages. Sorry for the long description but any advice on the speaker package or an energy efficient receiver would be much appreciated. Oh and I will use the system 90% of the time for TV/movie watching. -------$1,399.00 (2) F-20 Floorstanding Speakers (1) C-20 Center Channel Speaker (2) S-20 Surround Speakers (1) SW-450 Subwoofer -------$1,195.00 2 RF-42II Towers-1 RC-42 II Center-2 RS-41II Surrounds1 Bic Acoustech PL-200 Subwoofer -------$1,195.00 2 RF-42II Towers,1 RC-42 II Center.2 RS-41II Surrounds1 PA-120W Subwoofer -------$1,366.00 2 RB-51II, 2 RS-42II, 1 RC-52II 1 PA-120W Subwoofer
