Receiver Recommendations

Recommended Posts

I just bought a new house with a 20'x20 room that will soon be my first home theater. To kick it off, since I have heard great things about Klipsch speakers I just ordered the following to start building my system:

 

(2) RF-82 II (Left and Right) 

(1) RC52 II (Center)

(2) RS52 II Surround rear

 

 I will be adding a sub, probably the R112 as well-

 

If anyone could give me advice on what you feel is the best receiver to pair them with, your experiences with different brands etc. I'd like to spend under $1,500 but will spend more if I need to. Id appreciate any advice on the subject.

 

Thanks-

JF,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

One quick piece of advice.  If you can swing it, and it fits where you need it to go, get the RC-62II instead of the RC-52II.  Others will suggest the same thing.

 

IMO, the best bang for the buck(at it's current sale prices) and a flagship AVR, is the Denon AVR-4520CI.

 

Refurbished with 1 year warranty at $799.99.

That Denon will drive those speakers with ease. I bet you wouldn't even notice addind an XPA-5.

I also agree with upgrading the center to a RC-62. I did a side by side comparison of the RC-64 and the RC-62. Very similar performance, I just liked the appearance of the 64 so it won.

Add my vote to Willand's.  Another vote for the RC-62ii.  :emotion-21:

 

I am just a fan of that woofer size for an MTM center, most decent speakers in the 6.5 to 7" range for some reason has a very clear mid-range for dialog/vocals.

I just got a call from the Klipsch dealer who will be filling my order and he is out of the RC 52 II and is giving me a RC 62 II at the same price, made my day- Thanks for all the suggestions!

 

Now that's what I'm talking about.  Great stroke of luck. 

 

You will be pleased.
