AudioNewbie Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hello klipschers! im new to the game. For xmas, i got a pair of Rf-82ii and R-115SW. I will be adding center speak in near future. I dont have alot of spare cash but wanting a good avr to push them adequately and how they should. I just know the rating of 150w max is out of my budget for a receiver that can push that. Thanks for all the help. Cant wait to hear them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 AudioNewbie, Welcome to the forum. Very nice speakers and subwoofer. Make sure you get a minimum of the matching RC-62II or older RC-62. How large is your room? Is it a living/family room or separate theater setup? Do you play loud? How many total speakers will you be driving in the near future? Where is you location, state/country is all needed? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudioNewbie Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi Bill, Thanks! Glad to hear that they are nice speakers. I do plan on adding the center speaker, probably the RP-440c. And in the distant future surround sound speakers as well. Its a living room. 12x17 feet. And i do enjoy hearing them at a nice level at times. I live in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with the RP-440C but the 62 will be "better" timbre matched. 10 minutes ago, AudioNewbie said: Its a living room. 12x17 feet. And i do enjoy hearing them at a nice level at times. Not a huge room so a mid level AVR should work just fine. What is your budget for an AVR? Here is a good one for a very good price if Dolby Atmos is not in your near future. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/intdtr605/integra-dtr-60.5-9.2-ch-x-135-watts-networking-a/v-receiver/1.html#!specifications Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the advice. Im trying to top out at 900 if possible. And i would like to add atmos but not need for now. I rather add the surrounds before atmos.m but will take time.

Often times better than new or at least as good as new. I just purchased a Refurbished Marantz from Accessories4less. Great way to save some coin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I would advise not spending that much on your receiver and get a rc-62ii new while you can to match your towers. The 440c isn't as good of a center and doesn't match timbre at all. Ive owned the 82 home theater many times. A good 4-500$ receiver will run them great. 900 is a little spendy in my opinion unless you just gotta have extra features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thats again great help as i didnt know the rc-62ii is matched with my 82iis. So no need to cough up for the 64ii? And for a receiver in that range, what is the lowest watts per channel would you stay away from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yeah in my opinion no need for the 64ii unless your going to get rf-7ii eventually. Don't worry too much about the wattage. Pick the features you want on them and if you ever want to add an amp down the road make sure it has preouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 And the rc-62ii is limited stock right now so grab it while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2016 Welcome to the forums. Yes, the RF-82ii are great all around speakers. I agree with Bill, RC-62ii is the way to go. Teaman just posted that the RC-62ii is on sale today - Link I'm not sure how much the coupon code is.

Holy cow how posted with coupon code that center is like 135$ or something close to that. That's a steal and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2016 I didn't see the coupon. Do you have to be on their email list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The Pioneer SC 85 is a 9.2 with Atmos for $649. This is 135 watts per ch if you are open to other bands other than Marantz. It's on sale at Accessories 4 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
