Hello, I have done a ton of research and I have decided to go with Klipsch for a new sound system and could really use some help.
I have a QLED 75" TV and tried to use my old (12 year old) Sony surround sound, but quickly found that to be a dumb idea.
So I went and purchased a new receiver to replace my Sony receiver and try to make do with my existing Sony speakers. Again, dumb idea.
So now I'm wanting to do a full upgrade to match my amazing 4K Ultra HD TV.
I bought a Pioneer receiver (VSX-834) but I think I will take it back and get the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX503 9.2 channel as it has more options, more power and little things like Sonos interaction which I have all over my home. It's on sale so it's only a couple of hundred more.
Here is what I plan to do. I think I may skip getting towers for now and just go with a 5.1 system since my walls are pre wired for that and I can save some money and get the towers later. I'm also trying to take advantage of what Klipsch has on sale right now.
I would get two sets of the RP-500SA speakers (on sale $100 off each set) and use them as wall mounted surround sound speakers. Later when I get towers and go to the 7.1 system, I can use them as Atmos speakers. These speaker would replace existing wall mounted speakers and brackets.
I would also get two R-100SW 10" 150W subwoofers. From what I have read, it's better to have two smaller subwoofers than one big one and these are at a great price being $175 off right now.
I would purchase a center speaker. I'm looking at the RP504C, but it's not on sale and quite pricey. Another option would be the RP404C which is on sale, but it has the smaller 4" speakers. I want a good center speaker, so I don't mind spending some money there.
Finally, if I were to go ahead and get the towers, I would probably try to spend less on them and thought about going with the R620F towers. They are not the premier line, but they seem like they would work well and they are having a great sale on them. If these towers are good, I may pull the trigger on them while they are on sale.
So that's my plan. I want to get these speakers purchased very soon so any help would be great. Also, would either of those receivers have any issues powering all of this?
Thanks so much. I can't wait to be an active part of this community!
