dskinner612 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I have a Denon 4308 CI along with Polk RTI 10 for the front, RTI 8`s for the rear. Polk csiA6 for the center and a Polk 505 12 inch sub. I have a problem with loud volumes . The highs are very loud and bass is good but not much midrange. I am using Nordost Blue Heaven Bi wire cables for the RTI 10 and Monster M series Bi wire for center. I have not hooked the rears up yet. I was thinking of an integrated multi channel amp to push the speakers a bit more. Any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 If your Denon has pre-amp outputs an external amp from Emotiva will suit you well. Or you could upgrade to Klipsch and you'll have all the midrange you'll ever want. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get off your site, thanks What was meant by the previous post was that since this is the Klipsch forums we're very familiar with Klipsch speakers and usually most members aren't familiar with many other brands. Everyone is welcome here regardless of whether or not they own anything Klipsch. Its just that you might get better help on a Polk Audio forum or a general A/V forum such as AVSForum.com.

What I meant to say was buy the Denon AND a pair of Klipsch loudspeakers, it's a better match than Denon and Polk. The speakers do make a difference, we try to match the strengths of one component with the weaknesses of others. Polks are laid back and so are most Denons sooooooooo naturally we recommend some Klipsch. That was my point. Happy hunting.

dskinner612 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi, I just didnt want to offend any one. I have a Denon avr 4308 CI and I was wondering if I added an amp to it If I would get more midrange out of my Speakers. Im still playing around with the reciever and seeing that in 5.1 and 7.1 the speakers sound more flat but in natural tune stereo they have more sound. It seems that the surround with center channel playing has less music listening ability, Im guessing that its more for movies. Any suggestions? thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinner612 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi I anted to ask you, about connecting a amp to my reciever, do I connect to assign amp outlets ot Bi amp outlets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Good to have you back. That Denon of yours is a nice receiver with some pretty high quality parts in it's gut. I am sure by itself it does a pretty good job. With that said, adding a nice high current amp will open up the midrange as well as the highs and lows. Tighter bass and better seperation with a lot of reserves on tap can be expected. I am not sure on the Denon what "natural tune stereo" is but with my 5.1 system, it always sounds fuller and louder in plain ole stereo mode. In this mode more wattage is directed to the two front speakers. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinner612 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi Bill do I go with an Integrated Amp or a solid state? thanks for the info, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi Bill do I go with an Integrated Amp or a solid state? thanks for the info, Dan Well first let us have a better understanding of the terminlogy. An integrated amp is an amp that has both the preamp section and the amplifier section in one chassis. It can be tube or solid state. An amplifier is just the amplifier itself and it can be tube or solid state. What I think you want to do is to ad an outboard amp and let your Denon receiver act as the preamp/processor. For HT duty and music, I would get a solid state amp. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskinner612 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 250.00 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 To be honest, for $250.00, your choices are limited. I would recommend you hold out a little longer and save up about $350.00 to $450.00 more and get you one of these. http://www.emotiva.com/xpa3.shtm or http://www.emotiva.com/xpa3.shtm. Many on this forum and other forums can attest to their build quality and sound quality. Emotiva is right at the top of the heap for best bang for the buck status. Here is an affordable used 2 channel amp that should mate well with Polks though I would not recommend this with Klipsch speakers. http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1266605682&/Adcom-GFA-555-Stereo-Amplifier Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
