Hi all,
First of all, I'm really not too knowledgeable about a lot of this stuff, so thanks loads for any assistance.
I currently have a set of rp-160ms set up as my main front speakers (in a very average 4.1 set up).
They're powered by a Yamaha HTR-6068 receiver, accompanied by R10sw and a cheap pair of welling tower speakers at the back. I purchased the Klipsch and Yamaha at the same time a couple of years ago, the wellings were what I had sitting around.
Whilst there's a lot I love about the RP160m, I'm probably not getting the amazing sound I'd hoped for. It's great, but not enough.
First of all, I'm not sure whether it's due to the amp or speakers, or placement.
Over the weekend, I was listening to music fairly loud, and when I switched the receiver to "party mode", it sounded quite a bit better. I was surprised that adding the wellings to the mix actually made it sound better.
I was considering buying some RP-280f and swapping the rp160-m to the rear speakers but wanted to ask all of you gurus if you think this is the way to go. Is my amp powerful enough for a) what I currently have and b) what I'm looking to do. I'd just been going down the power amp rabbit hole, but I think I've just worked out that I don't have pre-outs in my receiver
Thanks again, all!
