You will be fine. Most damage happens when the volume knob goes up and starts upping the distortion. Those are fine speakers you bought. Are you starting a new home theater sound system?
yes exactly..new home theatre. i just received the rest of the speakers..so all in all..i have the towers RP-8060FA, center is the RP-504c, rear surrounds R-600M, and surrounds RP-502s and two of the 15" SPL-150s. Im looking at the Anthem MCA 325 Gen 2 for driving the towers and the center speaker. But it says 225 watts per channel all channels driven. So since I'm new, obviously the amp states 225 watts per channel...which is more than the 150 watts per channel for the speakers but some say it would be fine? others say its too much??

So..since I'm new..i have a question...i just bought the RP-8060FA, rated at 150 watts RMS.....im looking at a amp but its states is 225 watts per channel driven. Would this be too much power and would it damage the speaker or am i stating the obvious? Or should i just get a power amp thats rated at 100-150 watts per channel driven?

I recently bought the RP-502S for the surrounds on home theatre. Can the RP-600M's be used as the Rear surrounds or is there a better speaker for the rears? I have the RP-8060A for the front towers..the RP-502C for center, RP-502S and two RP-600Ms? Thanks!

Unless you absolutely have to visually match gear, you could do better than either amplifiers for the same or less $$$ with maybe an amp from Outlaw Audio or Monoprice, IMO.

As far as preamp/processors, either will do a fine job.

ok great..i will check into them..thanks for the advice

I just purchased the Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-502S however, I am unable to mount on wall. Does anyone have recommendations on a speak stand that would be safe for these speakers, since they have a unique shape? Thanks in advance

AudioNewbie,
Welcome to the forum.
The RS-52IIs are the suggested surrounds but you could go with the RS-62II's or even RS-42II's if your room is on the small side.
Bill
Hi Bill..thanks for the help. However, I can't seem to find these on the site. Are they discontinued? Thanks again...

HI everyone,
I recently purchased a pair of RF-82 II, center speaker is RC-62 II powered by a Denon AVR-x3300W with a sub R-115SW. What surround sound speakers would be best for my set-up for the home theatre? thanks for the input...happy holidays.

I have read the some prefer bare wire connections since its more "direct". And others like banana plugs. Are banana plugs more for neatness?? Thoughts please...

I new to the HT set up. I have a panamax surge protector that has a high current bank and a linear filtration bank. Do i plug my powered sub directly into the wall or surge protector? Thanks!
-
So im finally ready to set up all my klipsch speakers and denon avr. Im new to this. I bought a panamax surge protector that has 9outlets but unsure where to plug the subwoofer, tv and denon avr into?? There are 4 outlets labelled "bank 2-high current outlets" and another one labelled "bank 1-Linear filtration". Please helpppppp. I dont want a thud from the woofer. Thanks everyone! Happy new years

I love it.
It's all automatic. A mic will come bundled with the Denon. Mount the mic on a tripod, not the chair and don't hold it with your hand. The mic is pointed straight up, not at the speakers. The on-screen instructions will tell you what to do. You will be given a choice of 1-3 seating positions. If you want to simplify, choose 1, the seat YOU sit in (your wife will never notice). It will poll every speaker with white noise and will measure how they bounce off the walls and ceilings in your house. It will tell you when you're done, you unplug the mic.
Don't try to second guess the settings, just listen to your speakers and enjoy. You can check the settings in the OSD. If you have questions about the settings chosen, ASK. The settings sometimes won't meet with your common sense, but Audyssey knows what its doing and does a darn good job of making all those Klipsch speakers play nice together.
Your Denon is very simple, but very sophisticated and can be complicated at the same time. Go slow and get used to it, it can be overwhelming if you let it. If you have questions, ask. Many of us here use that technology and experience can save you time.
Thanks Dave. Just makes me more excited to see what I'm getting into. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Everything that I have read about audyssey, i haven't heard one complaint. I should have the system all delivered by Jan 10th. I also ordered a panamax 9 outlet surge protector. hope that wasn't a waste of money. Thanks again for all the advice!!

That unit looks awesome. Up to 7.2, 105 wpc which is plenty of horsepower for Klipsch speakers. You get Audyssey Silver Multi-EQ XT, tons of features. What's not to like? Let your ears be your guide, I think you are going to like this a lot.
+++
Have you set up a modern AVR with Audyssey before?
oh thank you..thats a sigh of relief..im really counting on tips and guidance on this site. The specs seem great and over 100 wpc it seems like a great deal for under $700. I have never heard or used audyssey until starting my research on Klipsch then avr's. Is is difficult and do you like it?
-
Ok so I pulled the plug and bought the Denon AVR-3200W. Using all klipsch speakers. Anyone has this receiver or thoughts? Would be much apprecriated before return policy expires. Thanks

Isn't really a minimum, you just need a receiver that will deliver good and clean power.
What is your budget?
What size is your room?
Are you mainly going for movies or music?
The room is 12x17. And budget i like to top off bout $700 if possible if i can find a good clean power avr. Grad school expensive so budget little tight. And prolly music 70% and movies 30%. Also. Is the sub I bought a little much for the RF-82ii?

Hi all. Newbie to the klipsch family. I just purchased the above speaker setup and need some guidance on a decent AVR in terms of brand and wpc. I dont want to underpower them and looking for options for a solid avr that pairs well with klipsch without breaking the bank. Thanks in advance

Both brands would likely make an excellent receiver, I have owned multiple versions of brands. Onkyo had a issues with the HDMI boards, tuned into a massive class action lawsuit but I believe it was a HDMI supplier issue. It sounds like they have those issues worked out.
I'd probably lean towards the Denon, but based on the room correction.
With all of that said, I would probably go with a Pioneer Elite SC receiver, I keep going back to them. Depending on your location, this might not be an option.
Congratulations on the new speakers, that will be a fantastic setup, no matter which receiver direction you decide to go.
Thanks. Thats good to know. I take all feedback seriously. Im new to the HT setup and its a learning curve
-
Ok. Have it narrowed down to these two avrs. I have a pair of RF-82iis, R-115SW, and RC-62ii. Need thought on deciding best avr. Reliabilty, power, sound. Will be adding surrounds amd eventually atmos. Thanks for the input

Can't speak for Onkyo or Yamaha, but for the Denon/Marantz brands A4L is the exclusive and official outlet for their factory refurbished products.
Ok. I appreciate the help. What does it take or what makes it a refurbished unit?
