[RP-140sa and RP-280fa wired in parallel]

Hi,

 

I have generally a klipsch setup with rp-280fa, rp-450c, and s-250s sorrounds, I also have rp-140sa pair and a pair of svs prime elevation speakers. I only have a 11.2 ch receiver (and a 7-channel, 200 watt amp for my front, center and sorround speakers).

 

I was thinking of wiring my prime elevation speakers as back height channels, and wiring then wiring the rp-140sa and the height channels for the rp-280fa so the same output in parallel, and wondering if this makes any sense at all, would work, or is too crazy.

Awesome thanks for the info. I figured that was the case but have little experience with this so good to check.

 

Also I already have the extra 2xRP-250S and I ordered a second 115 too :). My room is around 3500 cubic feet so I thought that would help.

Hi,

 

I'm pretty new to home theater setup. Just bought a 5.1.2 klipsch setup with 2xRP-280FA, 2xRP-250S, 1xKlipsch RP-450C,  1xKlipsch R-115SW, 2x Klipsch RP-140SA.

It also came with a Yamaha RX-A3070BL. I intend on adding 2 more RP-250S sorround speakers making my system 7.1.2

 

My understanding is the Yamaha will power 9 channels, so it would be ok, but it sounds like the RP-280FA includes 2 channels itself, and effectively makes my system more of a 7.1.4 system 

which the Yamaha can process but not power.

 

Question 1: Do I need an amp for extra channels.

Question 2: In general for this set of speakers will and amp be useful to remove some load off the receiver, or will the yamaha RX-A3070BL be able to handle these speakers well.

 

Thanks in Advance
