Thanks for the honesty. To be fair I know some EQ will help I just don't wanna melt anything. I assumed the butter range for "overpowered" is probably 400 to 500 wpc. I'll probably go 2502 for 440 wpc and try some EQ and go from there. As long as they're punching the best they can I can be happy with that for now. If there is no usable headroom between 440 and 900 then I'll start research for "next" lol. Really appreciate all the feedback.

It's a decent sized room. Ideally most of the system is well beyond what is needed but that fits my personality lol. At the end of the day does bridging a 1502 with 1040 watts damaged a rf7III RATED AT 250-1000 watts? I know ratings are not always spot on as are power ratings for amps. Just don't want to damage anything. Again I listen to music usually louder than most people.

Hi all, I've been a user of info on here for a long time and never really contributed. I'm just gonna ask for help. Looking for more real world feedback than hypotheticals or statists. I have a set of Klipsch RF 7 III. Receiver is a Yamaha 3070. Wired preout to a Crown 1502 currently. Sub is a new Klipsch SPL 150. Crown is 300 wpc x 2. 1040 bridged at 8 ohms. I love my music loud, lots of Rock usually so strong punchy midbass is preferred. I do love how clear they can be with other genres. The RF7IIIs are efficient, but I just feel like they need more. I can run the receiver to -15 or so with gain at about 8 and get volume but I just feel like dynamics at the mid levels aren't there These are 250 RMS with a Max of 1000 and the 1502 is pushing 300 to each (theoretically). I just don't know how much is too much. I bought another 1502 on a big sale yesterday so Do I: 1. Bridge each mono and push a theoretical 1040 watts to each (seems dangerous and not even close to necessary) but would it hurt.. 2. Bridge each stereo and bi amp pushing 300 to HF and 300 LF (either vertically or horiz). 3. Sell both 1502 and just get 1 2502 for 440 wpc and call it a day. Open to any feedback. Really just want the headroom for when these things open up and looking for punchier dynamics. BTW. Fascinating reads for the last 4 hours all over this website. You guys are a wealth of knowledge. Already learned alot.
