Thank you for all the assistance. I moved them around as you suggested. Sounds a bit better. I have them about 1.5ft from the wall and needed to decrease the bass a little. on the receiver. I toed them in slightly. Wife came home as tape was on the floor and thought I was nuts. haha The treble is still pegged (Which is odd since the Klipsch are known for the horns). I have an old Cambridge 8S powered sub I can try. Maybe this will allow the woofers to allow some mid-range. The Sony was ok. It was a HT Model so I adjusted it to 2 Channel mode. I did like the EQ setting in the Sony, but I just couldn't get the soundstage I wanted so after much research and budget, I went for the HK3490.

Hey Styx. Thanks for the reply. The room is about 10ft x 20ft. Hardwood floors. Thin curtains and three pieces of furniture. One area rug. The speakers are about 8 ft apart and 10" from wall. The speakers are also against the 10ft wall area. How did you have your treble / bass set?

Hi there Klipsch Family. NewB here. I know this is an old thread, but wanted to add my experience. I have RF 3s and just picked up the Harmon 3490 to replace an old Sony receiver. I was really hoping the Harmon would "wake up" the RF 3s, but for some reason it sounds like the RF 3s are missing something. I have played with the treble and bass and it sounds good, but nothing what I expected. I was hoping for a fuller soundstage. Being a drummer, I love the high hat sounds and cymbal rides...so with this set up I basically have the treble all the way up and the bass about 3/4 way to get a sound I like....just don't love. Any suggestions? I listed to mostly rock, classic / heavy, along with some jazz / blues.
