Here is some media guide for the post above: Yamaha RN-500's back: http://postimg.org/image/gqwq8gjsz/ Klipsch R28F speaker terminal without bass and treble connector: http://postimg.org/image/6uwqxo03r/ Yamaha RN-500 speaker terminal with 4x pair speak cables: http://postimg.org/image/3rceoar8v/

I did some experiment today: I connected the 4x amp outputs of the Yamaha R-N 500 to the 4x input connectors of the 2x Klipsch R28Fs with 4x pair speaker cables. I think I like the sound a bit better. Better stereo experience IMO, not so harsh top, bit cleaner bass. (I still feel the R28F has to hard treble section...) I'd like to ask if one R28F is 8ohm when the 2x input terminal is connected as default, how many ohm is the top and bottom part of the speaker when it is separated? I can setup in the menu of the RN 500 8ohm and 4ohm. On the back of the Yamaha you can read: SP IMP: 4OHM MIN A or B: 4OHM MIN / SPEAKER A+B: 8OHM MIN / SPEAKER SP IMP: 8OHM MIN A OR B: 8 OHM MIN / SEAKER A+B 16OHM MIN / SPEAKER I belive in my case I should use the first: 4ohm setting in the menu, because I'm using A+B outputs with 8ohm speakers. But I'm not sure how many ohm is on each amp's output in this case. Can someone put things in order here ? Thanks.

Thanks Guys. I'm doing what you write. I'm listening great tracks and reading the forum Yammi is doing great so far.

Is it worth to bi-wire the R-28F speakers with the Yamaha R-N 500 amp? The amp has 4x outputs, so I could cable as per the linked picture below: http://bilder.hifi-forum.de/medium/787524/bwireoption3_396884.jpg (I do not understand really the German forum) Is it not bi-amping rather bi-wiring? (sorry if I'm wrong) Is this a better setting with my R-28F speakers? At the moment the amp is on 8ohm setting with normal cabling. If I would do this "bi-wiring", how should I change the impedance on the R-N500? The Yamaha manual has very little info about this... Any thought is highly appreciated.

Thanks Bill. I have a Presonus Temblor T10 studio active sub as well. I'm still experimenting to find the best positions and settings.

Thanks.

Thanks for your comment. Yes I have. For me it works fine. This is my first system, I do not have experienced ears. I got confused after reading the article about amplification I mentioned above. ( http://support.klipschgroupinc.com/kb/faq.php?id=69 )

Hello, I’ve purchased recently a pair of Klipsch R-28F speakers. In the store they sold me these speakers with a Yamaha R-N500 receiver. It has 2x80W RMS power @8ohm. Is this type of amplifier/receiver suitable for my R 28 F Klipsch speakers? I’ve read this article about choosing the right amplification for the speakers, and I’m worried if I did not get the right type of amplifier for my speakers: http://support.klipschgroupinc.com/kb/faq.php?id=69 Per this description I should have an amp with 120W-300W power. The room size is 19' x '19'. Can I use my R-28F speakers with the Yamaha R-N500 or should I change to a stronger amp or a smaller speaker like R-26F or RP-160M? Thanks for your help.
