Sorry English is not my native language. If you mean Watts by rating it is 85 per channel. I don't think the amp is clipping since metallica even sounds harsh on lower volumes.

Thanks for the great tips, really appreciate it. I do have a carpet in front of the speakers all the way to the listening position. I have done the tweeter "trick" were you have someone walk around with a mirror and on the angle you the tweeter in the mirror from the listening position is were it bounces of the wall. I did put a pillows there just to see if it made a difference and it sure did. I also use regular toilet paper in front of the horns with the speaker covers. I will try the bass thing you said. I used a XTZ 10.16 sub prior to getting the r-112sw which sounded better on lower volumes than the klipsch so you might be onto something there!

Sorry for the late reply. My room dimensions are; Length 4.5m ( 14.7 ft ) Width 3.4m ( 11.15 ft ) Height 2.35m ( 7.70 ft ) I unfortunately sit on the width and not length since I have a bed and a desk in the way. Tried to move the furniture around but it's not possible. I do have a carpet, some stuff on the walls, drapes, a bed, desk and a small table. Basically a "normal" room. Speakers are facing straight, tried both toed in and out.

Hey, I have had my Klipsch RP-260F with r112sw for around 3 months now. I really like the sound image but at "higher" volumes I do actually find them a bit too bright, especially listening to something like metallica where the cymbal sometimes can be ear piercing. I really do like the dynamic of the speakers but I can't listen to them for too long at high volumes ( which I prefer ). My question is am I doing something wrong? Is my room too small? Am I sitting too close? Is it a bad amp match? Stereo amp; Yamaha AS-501 Speaker distance; 1.65m (5.5ft ) Listening position distance; 1.5m ( 5 ft ) It's the absolute maximum distances I can use in my room.
