Thanks, let me know how it sounds. Does anyone else have any suggestions on a smaller sized amp that can power those speakers?

In a dilemma right now with receivers and need a suggestion. I've settled on purchasing the RP-250F, R-112SW, RP-440C and RP-240S speakers. Now I'm looking for AV Receiver that can power them. Ideally I would like a smaller receiver, with a warm sound, 4K pass through, 7.1 channels and Audyssey MultEQ (XT or better would be ideal). I had planned on going with the Denon X3300W but came across the much smaller Marantz NR1607. Would the Marantz power those speakers? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

That's why I've decided to go with the X3300-W and the Audyssey XT32. While I can afford the 260F, you've convinced me to go with the 250F instead. I don't want to compromise sound quality over getting a larger speaker. There will be a lot more compression with the rear port of the 260F than the 250F. Thanks a lot for your help! Much appreciated.

I really only have 10 inches of room for the 9 inch 260F but the 250F would give me 3 inches extra space. Thanks for the suggestion and I will be putting some absorption material on the wall. Was planning on backing down to the 250F but found the 260F online for just $30 more (tough to pass up). Would the spacing requirements really make any difference on sound quality regardless of which tower I choose? What would be your tower suggestion?

Looking for a new home theater setup and heard the RP-260F lineup in store. They sound amazing. The problem I have is one of the towers is going in the corner of my basement wall. It will have to sit tight against the side wall and will be roughly 8 inches from the rear wall. The walls are drywall, floor is carpet and the room is roughly 2300 cubic feet. Plan on going with the R-112SW, RP-440C and RP-240S with a Denon X3300-W. I'm concerned whether having the tower in the corner will affect the bass too much. My question is, is it okay to stick with the RP-260F 8 inches form the rear wall or should I opt for the RP-250F instead giving me 11 inches from the rear wall?
