Larry certainly was a asset this site and I am positive he will be greatly missed. This site has seen many great members move on. Everyone else just moved up in line. Try to enjoy everyday !

Yeah...very nice. I had a 2500II with the stereo light out. It's good solid radio with decent power and that one looks great to boot.

They are removable. I'd prefer outrigger feet. With nothing on bottom they could be knocked over more easily. I actually liked old 7's feet just fine,as cheap as they were on speakers costing 4 digits.

Mine are Walnut, Satin. The finish will vary with wood that day, stain that day, person that day. All of these can make em' great or ehh...

Well, The Thrax Yatrus is another table to consider unless you're just a poor smuck.... Sorry, could not resist. That Rega looks pretty nice unless you got the Golden Ears. If you do, you have my sympathy.

Hi Jay, that's a lot of good gear. The first thing would be to get informed on options. You can have anything from 2 channels to multiple based on room available space. I suggest reading up on basic Atmos systems and decide from there where you want to go. If you do not plan on using the Yamaha, look at their newer Atmos capable avr's. Also Denon, Onkyo, Pioneer, Marantz etc....based on budget. Your room size is good but layout and what is in it matters as far as space available. At this point you need to do research. Just search online for Atmos set up, youtube etc..Once you have info, then decide how to proceed, Best.

I ran rf7's on this amp about 20 years ago. The amp sounded fine to me. Regardless of what specs are ,7's are a heck of a load when pushed.

I'm not sure what is little known but..Considering most people I grew up with 99.9% never heard this band until I played the album. Wishbone Ash, probably one of the best bands from the 60/70 and on Bands. LIve Dates ll is likely the best quality live recording I have from the 70's. I picked up this double Album and have not listened to much else since I got it.https://youtu.be/DD6t-UdjkQg

Class D for Klipsch...I had Pioneers top line avr SC-37 with ICE amps. It sounded pretty good and powerful. No better or really worse than any decent A /AB. A good pre is where to put the money. A good amp should sound good ,no more, no less. Power wise, yeah, get plenty power, regardless of sensitivity blah blah. A few hundred watts for 7's. Maybe a superior design will offer the same slam with less rated power, maybe....My experience with all 7's, more power, better sound even at 80db. ALL imo

"Real name is Bruce, named after Robert the Bruce, the Catholic who fought for Scottish independence. Little did I know I would grow up to bome Catholic after years of our family not having any affiliation.
Nickname - Captain Marvel (Marvel on the forums). Three of us friends during late high school till now, were Shadow, Phantom and Marvel. Started in the '60s. Shadow is still my best friend. Phantom has passed away. At '74 I'm finding it a little harder to make long term plans".
Well, on an audio level and a forum aquaintance level, you're alright. I hope ya have plenty time left for some of your plans. For the most part there have been some really decent ,helpful people here, even now and certainly over the years. Plans...yeah..long term, not makin many.
I did forget to even post my name Bill, after a long line of William's

I don't think I would spend more on amp than speakers. There should be many Amps at a few K that would be more than sufficient. Personally I like vintage but I have had Parasound Rotel Emotiva and the like with great sound,plenty power. At over 5k, pre/amp, the 7lll is the weak link. All imo...

Anyone with this affliction certainly has my empathy. A long time friend somehow developed insomnia. For 6 months he hardly slept. He told me many times ,and I agreed he was losing his mind. After lots of consultations that hardly helped...He changed his entire routine and diet. A few months later he was getting some relief. One year from that time he was actually sleeping a lot, to me anyway, about 10+ hours a day. That's been almost 20 years ago, no relapse even though he has picked back up a few old habits. Everyone is different but at some point anything may be worth a try.

The most impressive ref 7 system Klipsch ever made imo........

The r52c should be a perfect match. But...I'd have no problem with the rp 504c, it looks competent.

You might consider what is most important. You can stream hi rez of most everything made and would last way beyond your life to hear a small %. But..I understand the playing an album thing, even tapes if so inclined. For those I have a lifetime worth I collected so that's not an issue but...If you do not flea mrkts and thrift shops around me in all directions have lots. I'm not much on old worn records so it's limited and kinda pricey and I don't know you can avoid that. Ebay has had some decent deals like good albums for about $5 shipped but that's still not cheap. So...if you love music for music you're in biz with streamin. If it's about the act and visual of music playing, it's just gonna cost.
As to silver faced radios....I went through the 80/90/00/10's buying tens of thousands in gear to get that sound I once heard.I bought all the latest pre's/amps/avrs. I had little idea it was in those 60/70's era radios. After I got an old Sansui, I was instantly satisfied. Those old Pioneers,Sansui, Marantz etc....All my younger friends now own multiple old radios because they too realize that sound is that musical sound we all wanted for so long.

Yes, it was a great time,you did a fine job. Lots of great people to discuss, debate and learn. Now it's a classic corporate hole, ruined by thought police towing the line......Great you stopped by, best.

Sorry I missed this. I did want to comment as people searching may end up here. I don't stop in like in previous decades. Pretty surprised it had such little commentary, way different in the past. The fact is it's a great receiver and competes with most any Pioneer, Marantz, Sansui etc of the day. Project One were quality throughout, layout looks like designers were very thoughtful. I have a Mark IV and it's solid as a rock and sounds as good as my sx980, for 1/10th the price. The meters in these units were the only weak spot although mine work fine. I can't imagine needing more power to drive any Klipsch to ear splitting levels. For the crazy low price I doubt there are any vintage that beat em. Good find.

Out of my Sansui 9090 I run speaker out to left sub(set xover) then to speaker, sub right then speaker. With my Outlaw 2160 ,sub outputs to two different subs, speakers regular from 2160. Either way bass is great and similar.

It may be good to have more input..but. If you like the set up is the most important. You shared your set up and opinion, that's what this forum about. If I had any issues with mine I'd give it try. Fortunately my placement and room work pretty well but it's great to see opinions.
