  1. The receiver is fine, after it shut off I let it sit for a few minutes than turned it back on and it was OK for the rest of the movie (Top Gun Maverick 4K). Speaker wires are correct and fine.
  2. Hello, currently using a Denon S960H receiver at 90wpc, main speakers are KLF 10’s, center is R-52c, surrounds (2) R-51m’s and R-41sa for front atmos heights. No sub. last night for first time since I’ve had this receiver at moderate volume level, receiver shut off with light blinking, it was hot. Have a T10 fan unit on order. someone told me due to the 2 10’s in each speaker my receiver is to small. Any truth to that? I’ve watched other movies with current setup with no problems. thanks
  3. Have 2 cats, Mom and son, had another son but he had a bad disease and had to be put down. Pic below Silver receiver is a Sansui G-5500 that was given to me not working ( blew fuse as soon as it was turned on), tech I go to locally went through it and fixed it. It is 60 watts x 2, not seen below it is a Tascam 202 double tape deck, Turntable is a JVC QL-Y55F I run both receivers through the one pair of speakers using a Monoprice Dual-Source 2-Channel A/B Speaker Selector.
  4. Hello all. Just picked up a set of KLF-10's to use as my main speakers, using a Klipsch R-52C for the center and will be getting a pair of R-51's for the surround speakers. Question is in regard to the height speakers. I believe I read somewhere if you are only using 2 height speakers you should install them in the front. The KLF's are about 15' apart, one is in a corner the other at the end of a wall. TV centered between them. I plan on using Klipsch height speakers wall mounted. Would it be OK if the height speakers are closer together on the wall instead of directly over the KLF's? The ceiling is on an angle so one speaker would be lower from the ceiling but I would put both at the same height. Receiver is Denon AVR-S960 will be running 5.0.2 once I get the height speakers.

  5. Would R-14M's make decent surround speakers? I see on the Klipsch site they have them in their outlet. Thanks
  6. Hooked up my old Onkyo sub today, made a big difference.
  7. I’m using a center ch. speaker, just a crappy one until the new Klipsch one arrives, (supposed to be today)
  8. I moved the center speaker to the top right shelf in the cabinet, it did make a good difference. Thanks for pointing that out. also reconnected the speaker/receiver switch I have with no noticeable loss in volume. and I put the Heresy’s on the stands I made in the past.
  9. Just placed the order for the R-52C, I'll look into the center spread later on, heading out to go shopping, thanks for the replies. This is the HT in a box system I used to have and the current speakers I am using for the surround and center. Purchased from Crutchfield in 2007 https://www.cnet.com/reviews/onkyo-ht-sr800-black-review/
  10. I read it, I'm going to order the R-52C in a few. I know Klipsch has different line of speakers, and the R-52C is in their Reference line so does that mean any other Reference speaker is designed to work with any other Reference speaker? Also what lines of speakers are say entry level up to the top? Thank You for the replies.
  11. Yes, just measured, I could do one on it's side but I found a post on here where someone asked about putting one on it's side and I guess that's not recommended due to the horn. I can't afford what it would cost to find a used Heresy anyway. Think I will stick with the R-52C and down the road upgrade my other speakers to the same product line. I know the heresy's come with the angled riser now and I have seen where people sell them for the older ones. Would it effect the speaker if I place them on a small stand to get them more closer to ear height? Really don't want to have them angled as my wife puts knickknacks on top of them.
  12. This is the cabinet I’m using that my tv sits on, audio components are in a smaller cabinet to the left. This is not my picture just one for the cabinet. May be able to fit a Heresy if one of the shelf’s was removed. Would the Heresy sound right on its side? would the center ch speaker I asked about work ok on the top right shelf? Currently only have a Monoprice speaker/receiver switch in that space but not using it as it seems to lower the volume ( I had 2 receivers going to one pair of speakers using that switch, other receiver is an older Sansui G-5500)
  13. Thanks for the replies, I definitely don’t have the room for a Heresy center speaker. although the Klipsch center ch speakers are designed for their specific product lines, I may replace the Heresy’s in the future. I think any center speaker would probably be better than what I’m currently using. does the center ch speaker have to be directly in the center?
  14. Hello all, I have a pretty basic HT setup. I just upgraded my old Onkyo HT in a box that I bought 15 years ago with a new Denon AVR-960H receiver. I'm currently using a pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers for my left and right and I have the center ch speaker that came with the HT in a box set. Using the front speakers from that same Onkyo set as my left and right surrounds. System was formally a 7.1 but I eliminated the 2 rear back speakers as I plan to add 2 height speakers in the future. Not currently using the sub that came with the Onkyo system but I do still have it. I have read on here that the center channel speaker is the most important and I was thinking of upgrading possibly to one of the Klipsch speakers. My budget is " as little as possible" in actuality I could probably do about $200 for the center speaker. I don't have any problem using a refurbished or even a good used speaker. Was just looking at the R-52C, I've seen it as low as $139, I'm sure there are better and it's probably 100% better than what I currently have. I'm not one to have to have the "best" and am not looking to spend $500 or more for one speaker. In the future I may upgrade the rest of the speakers to newer Klipsch speakers, but for now I'm looking at the center channel. Currently have a 65" insignia 4K tv and the center speaker is behind it, probably not the optimum place for it but no room in front of the TV and the cabinet the TV is on has 4 compartments and if I was to put the speaker in one of them it would not be centered with the TV (if that really matters). Thanks for any recommendations.
