@twistedcrankcammer Thanks a lot for pointing me to the masters

@garyrc Thanks for your very detailed and informative reply. I am still a toddler to understand this in whole  . But still it adds to the topic. I tried to turn off the Audyssey completely as I can say I lost some of the characteristics. So I am better off with Audyssey On DEQ on with 5 db and DV to Off.

@wuzzzer I will give it a try as well. But most of the people favour audyssey.

@glens I think that would not be a good setting. As I have sub woofer as well. Then the LFE signals to not be fully pushed to the sub but divided between L/R and sub?

Hi All 

 

Thanks for your inputs. As far as polarity is concerned, that seems to be right both on speakers and the amp side. What I am missing in the sound is depth. I am not sure if I can express what I am expecting from the RP- 8000F. Otherwise they are sound clear at all volume level. But they sound more very flat to me. I ran the auddessy as well and the towers are set to "small" and the LFE mode is set to LFE only crossover at 80 hz. Dynamic EQ is on Dynamic Volume is Off still at -30 or -20 db they do not seem to be loud enough or immersive enough. May be I am over expecting?

@jackrcox Thanks for shedding some more light. I have not auditioned either RF 7 or Forte, I'll try to audition both if I could at my local store.

Hi Guys

 

This month I invested in Denon 4500H and RP 8000 F with R-115SW. I am ok with the sub but the speakers I am not very happy with. They do not sound to me very well powered or lack something in I can't fully explain being a novice, I am planning to return the 8000F and go for RF 7 III or Forte III. So my questions are as below

 

1. Will Denon 4500h with 125W/channel will be enough to drive RF 7 III/ Forte III in 2 channel mode?

2. How big is the quality difference between RP 8000 F and RF 7 III/Forte III as the price is almost 2.5 times 

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi guys 

 

Thanks for your valuable comments. I did run the audyssey setup again. This time I changed my seating position to further away from the speakers. The result I got  now Distances FL : 11.9 FR : 12 SW : 12.2 and levels FL : 0 db FR :0 db SW : +1.5 db ( I guess while calibrating the SW the gain was not to the max) it set up the crossover to 40 hz and mains to Large  whihc is inverted back to "80 hz" and "small". This gives me better bass from SW. I have changed the volume scale to db now and I could raise it to -30 DB and it was enjoyable. I feel the sound is better now as I was listening to sound cloud may be the quality is better than mp3s. I will try to turn off the Dynamic Volume and turn on the Dynamic EQ as suggested by all of you. 

 

Thanks all.

Thanks for your inputs. @ODS123 yes you got me right. I was wondering 60 is almost 60% of the volume level and I was worried that its still not loud enough. @JefDC i tweaked the Auddessy results after the calibration. I think I would need to run it again from a better listening position. In the current calibration the auddessey had given -ve db to all of the speakers. I moved them back to 0 db.

Hi Guys

 

I am just 1 week old in to AVRs and Klipsch. I have paired my RP 8000F + R 115 SW with Denon X4500H. My setup is only for music in 2.1 channels mode.  I am still exploring different settings and trying to get the best out of my setup. My Denon volume scale is from 0-98. Even if I crank my master volume to 60 its still comfortably audible and does not seem like noisy whihc is good thing. I am just trying to understand if everything is OK with amp and the speakers?

 

 My settings are as follows

 

Mains are set to small

Bass : LFE

Crossover: 80hz

LPF : 120Hz

Auddessy : Reference

Dyanmic EQ: Medium

Reference Offset : 0db

FL : 0db

FR : 0db

SW: 0db

Distances: FL : 2 Feet, Right : 2 Feet. SW : 4 Feet

Room size : 25 Feet x 14 Feet

Source: Not HD/Online or from laptop through HDMI

Wires seem to be plugged right

 

I was expecting not to go beyond 40 on volume level. Though the sound is still clear at higher levels but may be my expectations are a bit high or just want to rule out any malfunction.

 

Thanks.

Thanks all for your inputs I guess the first thing I should is run the audyssey.

Hi Guys

 

I am very much new to amplifiers and speakers of this level. I bought Denon X4500H and Klipsch RP 8000F + R 115 SW just this week. I am reading through a lot of stuff online about best settings to get the best out of the system. I agree that what I like is the best sound for me, but just to have some basics clear, I need some help  from the community. I am using the whole system for music listening only. No movies or TV at all. I read about LFE, LPF etc and tried to play with setting the mains to Large/ Small LFE/LFE+Mains and LPF - 120Hz but I do not seem to feel any difference. I was expecting R 115SW to explode my room but its still very nominal. Could you please help me out with some basic settings.

 

Thanks a lot.
