Understood. All my music sources are digital (CD/SACD discs via optical digital, FLAC-encoded tracks on a media server, and streaming services), so I think the *40 series will be fine.

It will be HT and music (some multi-channel), about 50/50 split. I looked at the 740 but it only drives 7 channels , and I need to drive 9 (hence the 1140). One option I am considering is getting the 740 and an external amp to drive the RP-8000Fs and the RP-504C.

Hi all. I am new to the Klipsch world and I am putting together a 5.1.4 system with the following: Fronts: RP-8000F Center: RP-504C Surrounds: RP-8000F Atmos: RP-500SA I was taking a hard look at the Anthem MRX 1140 to power the system. However, I've received comments from some friends that say the amps on this AVR are not powerful enough and recommended I go the separates route (meaning more $$$). Was curious if anyone is using this receiver to drive RP-8000F's and what their experience has been. I'm open to suggestions as to what would be the best receiver or reasonable separates combo. Thanks in advance.
