  1. Thank you wvu80 for the reply After considering your answers, I've decided to go with Yamaha RX‑V381, which has 5.1 channel, a dedicated subwoofer output, and HDMI, which are all perfect for my needs. I just bought it today at BestBuy! I have only one more question. On the spec sheet, it says that Rx-V381 has Rated Output of 100W (8 Ohms). And Maximum Effective Output of 130W/ch (8 Ohms). I am curious what the difference between Rated Output and Maximum Effective Output and if 130W/ch would be harmful for my speakers. Again, thank you so much for the reply!
  2. Thank you very much for the replies, guys. And thank you for welcoming me so warmly. The purpose of this system will be playing music from my phone and watching movies. I researched about amp, preamp, integrated amp, and receiver because I was still not clear on the differences. Based on what I've read, an audio receiver is capable of powering the speakers and receive inputs from external devices. If this is correct, this is exactly what I need. And wvu80's recommendation looks like it will be a great match to RP-160. And I wanted to additionally purchase R-12SWI subwoofer and it looks like I can do that on the Yamaha RX-V659, which I am really excited about. Since it is an wireless subwoofer and has a built in amplifier, I can connect the trasmitter that comes with the woofer and plug it into pre out of the Yamaha receiver. Is that correct? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will try to provide more spec on the speakers but I am not sure which ones are important ones. RP-160 (Bookshelf Speakers) Sensitivity: 96dB @ 2.83V / 1m Power Handling: 100W/400W Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohms Compatible R-10SW (Subwoofer) Maximum Acoustic Output: 116dB Amplifier Power: 200W / 400W --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For brians7's recommended Adcom GFA-535, can I use this 3.5MM STEREO MALE TO 2 RCA MALES to connect it to my phone and play music from there? The reviews look great but this one does not seem to have LFE out. So I guess if I were to use this amplifier, I would not be able to use R-10SW sub? This is the link to the cable: https://www.amazon.com/eBoot-3-5mm-Audio-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B06XC5KWJN/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495698212&sr=8-3&keywords=3.5MM+STEREO+MALE+TO+2+RCA+MALES+6"+Y+CABLE Again thank you guys for the answers. I really appreciate them.
  3. Hello! I am new to the world of speakers and Klipsch. I bought a pair of RP-160M Bookshelf speakers but I still could not find the right amplifier for this. According to this page on official Klipsch website, it says that I need an amplifier that matches the power handling of the speaker, which is 100W @ 8 Ohms. But when I was researching on the forum, I've read that many people power their speakers even with 5W amplifiers. So I got really confused. I was considering this one after researching because I really liked the look of it. It is a tube amplifier around $100. But I am afraid it may be too small of an amplifier. (https://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=16153&gclid=CjwKEAjw3pTJBRChgZ3e7s_YhAkSJAASG9VrDYqisnO5yEIWFJQTk5VfiOCU-suu_3V4kS7TZWFo2hoC9hnw_wcB) I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for the right amplifier for RP-160M speakers. Since I am a beginner, I wanted to find something around $100. Thanks!
