[lazydesi]

Hi Folks,

I am newbie to Klipsch world. I brought the speakers last week and now looking to buy a Good A/V receiver which pairs with Klipsch HD500.

the other day I was looking to buy Denon 1911.

any other valuable suggestions?

Thanks

The Denon 1910 is a good Model.

Pioneer 1019 is another.

Yamaha, Marantz................

Lots to choose from at that Price Point.............

Thanks Bill

Finally brought Denon !910.

Now I have one more question regarding cables.

Does general oxygen free copper 16 gauge speaker cables are enough? does getting banana plugs make any difference?

does the sub cable should be 1RCA - 1RCA or 1RCA to 2RCA?

For those speakers I wouldn'y worry too much about speaker wire gauge. 16 AWG will be just fine as long s your aren't making any really long runs.

IMO, banana plugs are a good idea because it makes it easier to plug the wires into the binding posts on the back of the AVR. It will also make sure you don't have stray strands short circuiting your ssytem.

1 RCA from the pre-out of the AVR to the "LFE in", it is the white one, on the sub sub is fine. Then turn up the crossover dial ll the way, probably maxes out at aroun 160hz, then run the audessy mic on the AVR, then go throught he manual speaker settings on the AVR and fine-tune the system if needed.

Hi Guys, It seemed to be When I was running the Audyssey MulEQ calibration, it detected every speaker, but not the subwoofer (said "yes" for every speaker and "no" for the sub at the detection screen).

in order to check whether the cable is defective or not I rubbed my finger over the tip and heard noise from the sub with it ON (not in AUTO), so cable is fine.

the volume nob is set at 12 clock,

I turned to highest setting of crossover control on the back of the sub

Is there any other way I can check whether the subwoofer is working or not if the sub out channel is defective?

right now I am using RCA to RCA cable.
