Alright everyone, seriously confused and bewildered!! I want to upgrade my music-only system now that I have a house big enough to have surround upstairs for movies. I have an older Denon AVR1000 receiver that I love but think I will move upstairs for the surround and get a 2.1 for music (primarily LPs) Not a lot of options without going separates route and expense seems silly Thought I was sold on Klipsch Forte iii with the reviews I read but the size makes my wife shudder. Was reading in here about RP280-F and size more reasonable and I like the price better too. (Considered Logan ESLX and B&W 720 but they aren't best for my rock ear (ACDC, Rush, Triumph) I don't believe and the Logan's sweet spot seems small) as I tend to roam with stereo on a lot. So.....Can I go wrong with the Fortes? Suggestions on 2.1 receiver to drive them? Are the 280Fs a good alternative? Also, can I just add a bigger amp through the preamp out on the Denon AVR1000?
