Moderators Youthman Posted August 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 10, 2014 It's really a matter of personal preference. I've never been impressed with the Sony ES but that's just me. The one time I heard a Sony ES was with RF-82 system. It was just underwhelming to me. There are others on the forums that have really enjoyed the Sony ES with Klipsch. Best thing to do is try and demo them together somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Youthman's exactly right. I don't really enjoy Sony audio products (I think they're only decent when it comes to video personally) - but it might seem fine for you. I'd recommend looking at Yamaha, Pioneer, Onkyo, Denon or Marantz if it's a simple home theater setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted August 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Sony ES should have no problem driving the RF-62ii, you just have to decide if the Sony ES sound is what your ears prefer. You may love the way Sony ES sounds with Klipsch. Only your ears can tell you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) I use a Sony avr in my family room setup with VF 35 Icon speaker. It does a great job and sounds good with music and TV. I have also used it on the RF 7's. It did a good job but, it is no match for my Pioneer SC 35. The Pioneer MSRP was 4x the Sony so, not a fair comparison.

swa99a Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Ok either that or yamaha I was thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 10, 2014 I really enjoyed my Yamaha RX-V1800 for movies when I had it. Very powerful receiver for 5.1, power and dynamics dropped considerably though when I moved to 7.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Ok either that or yamaha I was thinking In general, I prefer the Yamaha sound. It's more natural. Sonys have always sounded a bit artificial or "electronic" to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Does sony es match well with klipsch I thought it did. I have had a few of them that I ran with klipsch and they sounded great. The last one I had was a tank of an avr. Imo ES is right there with the other brands but they are a bit over priced. So the value isn't as good. If you can get a good deal on one I'm sure you will be happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldred Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I ran a ES DA4 for years...liked it... Changed to Denon to get auto calibration... hated it.. Gave the Denon to my brother in-law...Went back to the ES....then went separates. Take a look at Pioneer Elite. My first impression was not so good....Then I heard again with a non Bose system....Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelandKlipsch Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think pioneer elite and onkyo pair very well wih klipsch. I also agree with the others that Sony is better with Video than audio. Sony is a broad company making tons I different things. Onkyo and pioneer elite make audio gear. When pioneer did make t a though they were among the best there was. I'd go give an elite avr a listen. Lets not even say the word Bose ok gentlemen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbomberger Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've had Sony ES for years in one form or another. With my original Klipsch THX (from the 90's), they have always sounded great. Do other combinations sound better, sure but Sony ES has always done well for me. Now powering various large speakers in my office that I find cheaply, refoam and listen to for awhile before moving them on. I'm currently driving the THX system as a 2.1 channel with a little Yamaha Class A integrated amp and the same Klipsch speakers sound even better. Still never had any complaints all these years with the other set-up. Some days I like hot sauce on my eggs, other days I don't, they are great either way. Same with the speakers and various amps, receivers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Does sony es match well with klipsch Not in my opinion and I've had the best ES Sony has to offer. Give the Pioneer Elite a listen. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
