Thanks @The History Kid, @wvu80 & @rebuy !! I'd like to keep a bit simple and have the receiver power the towers. I'm sure if I needed pre-outs to power Klipsch speakers I would have upgraded to Klipsch's THX speakers. Which would come much much later. For now, i'd like to keep it as a 5.(1)(2) / 7.(1)(2) with the upgrade ability to have overhead speakers for Atmos. Would a Denon AVR-X5200W suffice or is the Marantz SR6011 still preferable? I can't seem to reach the Marantz website for that model, not letting me through.

Thank you for the references! I thought so about the Yamaha, although I do see some people using those 2030 Yamahas (in that family of receivers). So, I should aim towards a Denom receiver. About what wattage range should I be looking into? Or at least, what wattage can I get that would properly drive the towers without being way too under-powered?

Good day everyone! As my first question/post, i'd like to say Klipsch has been the only brand of speakers I've ever owned. I've always been pleased and even more so now that I've recently purchased 2 R-28F Speakers. Right, on to my question; may be a little long. I've tried to get straight answers or 'scientific' answer to the quality, level and wattage of receiver I should get when it comes to powering my Klipsch speakers. My current system is the Klipsch Quintet 5 they sound amazing. This is joined with a Yamaha RX-377 and the Klipsch SW-112 Subwoofer. I knew these small speakers wouldn't take much to power, so I got the Yamaha receiver. However, I purchased 2 Klipsch R-28F Floor-standing speakers to replace my 2 front speakers. I will, soon, be getting another pair of those to replace my rear speakers and will be replacing my center speaker soon after that with a Klpisch R-25C Center Speaker. I'm fairly certain I would be under-powering these speakers and from what Klipsch has mentioned, this isn't healthy for these speakers. How I use these beauties: Music and Movies Prefer to crank up the sound as much as I can. Speakers are no more than 10ft away from listening position(although may change later to no more than 15ft) Considering what I will be using in the future. What receiver is my best option? Would I need a more elaborate setup to properly drive these towers? If no particular selection of receivers can be provided, what should I look for when searching for a receiver to properly compliment the Klipsch speakers? I certainly do appreciate y'alls replies and input. Looking forward to seeing responses! Thanks!
