Trying now. And curious, how does one get them into the Album/Gallery area?

Looking to start putting together my first home theater.
I plan on using the r26f or r28f Klipsch speakers along with the surround speakers and center channel from the same line. I get a good discount on them making them a lot cheaper than normal. Those are the only choices of speakers I have as an option and to fit within my budget I'm using my discount on them. I will also be getting he 10 or 12 inch woofer also. But I need to find a receiver to suit them.
I can choose between Denon and marantz for the receiver but could use some help deciding which model would work for them.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Welcome, I am new-ish to the community as well, but not to home theater. I agree with Swa99a. Deal or not, wait for your budget to be available and get 160M. They are good for easy listening and have terrific quality. You could skip the sub until a later time if you want, those handle just upwards of 50Hz, so music with all but the lowest of bass would be reproduced perfectly.
I myself have used Denon, Marantz, and Pioneer receivers. With respect to all brands, most are capable of roughly the same thing. Watts per channel is not as important with efficient speakers. The real number to look at is THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). At 8 ohms, which most if not all of Klipsch products run on, even a decent stereo amp/receiver from the fore mentioned brands should be around .08% THD, which is fine. Aim for that, and you should have many options.
As enthusiasts, it really does matter which speaker set you get. In the end, get what works for you, but if you go with a slightly higher level/grade of speaker, they could last a life-time.

Hey all! I know it seems silly, but I am extending this from my other topic. I have been trying to post photos of my new RP-280F setup for all to see and enjoy. Yet, the website keeps giving me errors. I have tried to post photos from my OneDrive, where I keep all my stuff, and directly from my PC's HDD. I just want to share with the community and such. For reference, I am using Windows 10 Pro (I am saavy), pics are either .jpg, and I have tried RAW as well. JPGs are around 800kb, so small enough to transfer, RAW around 6MB. Neither works. This community is terrific and I would like to share with you all. I do not have Flickr or any other social storage. Not even on Facebook. And no, I am not an old man, 33 to be exact. LOL. Please help if you have any ideas.

It will not let me upload. Just get an error. Trying again.

I am having trouble uploading. It just keeps saying "Error" and the upload button disappears. No matter what source e.g. hard drive, cloud. Step by step help please? I am fairly computer saavy, so this is weird.

We love us some pictures!
How do I post pictures so you all can see my setup?

Thank you to the whole forum for your great input. After using a Dirac Processor and an amp my buddy let me borrow (Marantz MM8077), I have everything tuned perfectly. The Pioneer Elite has a great EQ manual mode I was able to use and now I have Klipsch tuned perfection! As previously stated, the R-115SW is an absolute MONSTER! If I want more, dial up, that simple. This is a great community and I will continue to post. Pictures coming tonight of the final setup. Gotta clean the living room from all the mess I made before you get to see my setup. Happy listening to you all!

The THX recommendations are for sealed speakers. Although 80 Hz is commonly recommended, two things to consider:
1.) Set the xo 10-15 above the weakest speaker, example:
surround 58 Hz to 24kHz
mains 32 Hz to 25kHz
center 58 Hz to 25kHz
sub 18 Hz to 125 Hz
XO range 58 Hz to 125 Hz
2.) If a FR graph is done and there is a peak at 75 for example then setting the mains lower, 50-60 may get rid of the peak when running the system with a sub and speakers set to small
Note: defeat the sub XO by turning it all the way up or off. The problem with voices coming from the sub has not been my experience with MCACC.
Great tip! I also splurged and got a Dirac Processor and ran through frequency tests for about 2 hours. You were close to right btw. I had a peak at 71 Hz. I was able to correct with the built in eq and more testing. And to anyone else reading this forum, the R115SW sub is a monster!! Holy crap. Thank you to this whole forum and to all of you who jumped in to help.

A XO of 80 or 50 Hz should work well. I like the choice in avr! You have a very sharp system.
Thank you! Pioneer has always served me well. Clean power from a D3 rated amp is going to make my new Klipsch shine!!!

Always start with 80 hz from mains to subs which is the THX standard. Bump it down lower if you want the mains to handle more and subs to handle less. I didn't particularly like that sub playing up high so you may very well want to do this, but it does put more strain on the amp/receiver for your mains.
LFE is a bit different, it usually operates independently of the main to sub crossover. Seems that most people are bumping this up a little higher so they don't miss anything. 100 or even 120 isn't uncommon. 80 is the lowest you can usually set this.
Thanks for the tip. I have two great places to make a good start because of this forum. What a great community!

Busht4169,
Welcome to the forum.
With my family room system, I am getting the best results with all speakers set to small and my RF-63's set to 50Hz, RC-64 set to 60Hz, and RS-35's set to 80Hz. I was getting low register male dialog out of my subwoofers and it was just wrong. Set the RC-64 to 60Hz and my SB13 Plus low pass to 63Hz and voila. Of course your settings may differ with different size speakers and room size. Let your auto EQ determine the settings and then tweak as needed.

Good tip, thank you for the response. I will give it a shot and see. It is a good starting point and I have enough exp. to calibrate beyond. Thx again for responding.

I will upload tomorrow once I unpack them. The lady was really upset with all the boxes. LOL. "Look at what you did to our living room!!!" (My house btw) Anyway, look for the new setup tomorrow dude. Have a good night.

Hello fellow Klipsch lovers! I just received my RP-280F 5.1 system in delivery! I am so excited but could use some help on the crossover. With the understanding that all rooms are different, and all personal preferences are different...what would be a good starting point for a crossover with this system? Looking for good clean, yet powerful sound. Sub to handle all the rumble stuff. Don't like when low pitch male voices in movies/tv come through all speakers...hate that. Enlcosed room with low reverb. R115SW in the corner, and the 5 channels equal distance from listening area.
Pioneer Elite SC-91
RP-280F Fronts
R115SW
R450C Center
RP-250S Surround

RP-280F System Crossover HELP
in Home Theater
Posted · Edited by busht4169
I think I got it. Note the cat in the lower right. He was an integral part of getting my system up and running. Now to hide/cleanup wires...I hate wire cleanup!!!
