The History Kid

Surprised this is still here, these units tend to sell for $120 with no remote or an after market. This one comes with the original and is in great shape.

I'll check at all my jobs and see if the offices need an order.

I was wondering if they were actually 8000FA (future reference, they are if they have atmos). This is a common mistake - don't feel bad.

What does the wiring behind the AVR look like, and what does the wiring behind the speaker look like? Photos?

A Labor Day weekend bump.

I remember when I was just starting out, the V1 was the cream of the crop for what I could find at the time for AVRs. Sadly, it was also at a price point out of range for a 12 year old. lol I think I wound up with a 530 instead. But kept looking at Yamaha's since that time for the most part. It's a beast, and only really the Z series AVR's could give them a proper run for their money, sans maybe a few of the 3000 series V's from later on. GLWS

It's a very sturdy material, similar to plastic. It will be fine - I've used many product over the years to clean, mostly I just use a very lightly damp cloth.

Le bump.

Correct, it is the OEM remote that came with the original unit.

Added. And pinging as I said I would, @nmorris43

Will post an update tomorrow. I got back in late. Will ping you here when I have them up.

Up for sale is a gently used Integra DTR-40.3 with OEM remote. I think I have the manual and mic still - possibly even the box, but until I find it, I'll state that I don't - pricing it as such too. Recently upgraded the living room system and no longer need the Integra. The unit's in great shape - will get pictures up later. I tend to post these threads before the pictures to motivate me to get the photos taken. Shipping is okay from Iowa as long as you pay for shipping and PayPal fees. The one million dollar answer to the one million dollar question is asking price at $125. Stay tuned for photos.

As wuzzzer stated, the RP line is the actual successor to the original Reference series. The current Reference (R) series is the successor to the Icon/Synergy. The RP is therefore the better line. As for your RP-8000F vs. RP-280F comparison, the RP-8000F is the newer of the two, and will likely incorporate whatever new technology is the latest with the line.

Sold.

Saying that Toyota Priuses are garbage and expensive lunchboxes does not mean that Toyota can sue me for slander, no.

Sale is pending.

I'm not an Atmos expert, but with my limited understanding of Atmos, you could in theory A: use them as object height speakers at the front or rear (this is how I use my RB-5's), B: if you have vaulted ceilings you can aim them upwards since the stands and pedestals are adjustable, or C : Ceiling mount angled downward from above as object heights. The plates are very sturdy and should support ceiling mount. See below for the mount configuration.

April showers bump. They lived through the weather this last week and a half. lol

This seems like a good time to also remind people and learn that there is a difference between power and clean power. One of the biggest reasons I tried so hard to get away from AVR's was that so few of them delivered good clean power without bleeding into the pre/pro pricepoint - and the ones that did meet the requirement tended to slack in other ways. As for your specific situation, Peter brings up a good point, and it ties in with what I mentioned about 2 channels delivering 110WPC rather than all 7. You're much better off to drive music into 2 channels than 7 in an AVR configuration if you plan on playing at high levels for long periods of time. It can help reduce the risk of those issues exponentially.

The maximum output of that AVR with all channels driven is 57WPC, not 110. It is capable of delivering 110WPC into 2 channels. It's maximum power output is 400W total, so it's WPC will not exceed the value of 400W. Otherwise, like others have said, you will be hard pressed to damage your speakers with that configuration.

$420 for the CBD treatment, eh? 😏

Weekend bump

I did a side-by-side with the RSW-15 in case anyone else was having the same question. The 1600SW may have me putting Klipsch back on the shortlist if I ever have issues with mine.

Another bump. Make an offer. It needs a new home.
