PointSource Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Good Day Klipsch Fanatics, I have the RF-3 II Speakers ran off a Yamaha HTR-5460, which is a home threatre receiver, not home stereo receiver like the RXV Line is. How much clean power can one really put into these bad boys? I have an amplifier that is capable of producing 200 watts into an 8 ohm load. They are rated for 150 Watts Continuous, however, can they handle more than this? I listen to Classic rock music like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, and Dire Straits. Thanks for any input! ------------------ Ice is forming on the tips of my wings.....-Pink Floyd, Learning To Fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese head Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I run a B&K Ref30>B&K 7250 (200wattsX5) into RF3 II's and have had em cranked to +6db. It's wwaayyyy freakin loud. 20x15 room. So yeah, that's not as loud in a gym. or whatever you guys are talkin about. I'm way impressed at how much they can handle. The louder they are the better they sound.

boa12 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 yea ch, could be that b&k set-up too. i've found my b&k combo gets louder but doesn't sound louder as in distortion. when it's at "low volume" it just begs for more. so up to -12 to -7 it goes. on the dvdp once beyond -7 it gets to be a lil much even for my ear-damaged self. though i use the rf-3 in the stereo room w/ the marantz or the old ken receiver (power monster). the rf-3 can take 'em fine up to the point of pain. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
