dmbartender Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hello all. I'm pretty much a newbie, although I've been doing lots of homework lately. Anyway, I just got a used Pioneer 915 receiver, and am thinking about getting some RF-35s to go with it. In your experience, is this an ok combo? Does pioneer match well with klipsch floorstanding speakers in general, and specifically the 35s? Also, I'm on a tight budget, and don't want to buy a sub anytime soon. I listen mostly to music anyway. But I noticed that the speakers cut off on the low end around 38 Hz. Will I still be provided with enough bass, at least for music? I listen to all kinds of music, and I appreciate bass a good amount. I don't need to have huge thundering bass, but I don't want bass to be absent either. I'd appreciate any input!

russ69 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The RF-35's will have plenty of bass. I have the smaller RF-25's and I can leave my sub off without any problem. You should think about a sub for the future so you can shake the foundation of the house but it will only be for less than 1% of the music. I can't give you any input on the Pioneer, I'm a 2 channel only kind of guy. Have fun, keep rockin. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hey Bartender! Give me another Scotch and Soda!!! LOL Just Joking, I couldn't resist! Congratulations on the Pioneer! Remember it is far from thier top of the line, but with that said, it is not a bad HT receiver. I reccomended it to a friend on a tight budget and he is quite happy with it. He wishes it had more power, but for $399 (I think) he can't expect too much from it. I gave him an old Adcom 555 amp I had setting around and at 200 wpc his polk speakers now sing with life. I can't speak to the RF-35's, but my Pioneer Elite sounds beautiful with my La Scala's. I think you would benefit with a powered sub, not that the speakers lack bass, but it will pick up the bottom end, where the Pioneer may be lacking in power. Or, consider finding a used 2 channel amp, and use the pioneer as a processor. Check your local Craiglist or Ebay for an amp. You can probably find one cheaper than a sub. Good luck and keep us posted, Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
