Drew206 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 So I just recently purchased this set. Fairly new to the world of high-end audio. My receiver is a Yamaha RX-V1600, had it for years but it's always been great to me. Just not sure if it will provide the power needed for this new setup, previously have only ran a HTIB with it. Thanks, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Even though it's a few years old, it should have plenty of power for those speakers. Welcome....and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew206 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks for that, spent a lot on the package, was afraid of having to go out and spend even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 That receiver should rock that system. It might lack some of the newer video features a newer AVR might have, but the audio with those RP series speakers will be very nice. I'll bet you're really going to like it. Congrats and keep us posted with your impressions....we love pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hope you got a good deal on the set. Always makes me a bit sad when I hear of guys paying retail. I did that once and then discovered this forum and found out there are much better places to buy from than places like crutchfield and amazon that all sell for retail pricing. Welcome your avr avr will do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still buy cd's. I'll take a pic when it's setup, got some work to do first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome your avr avr will do just fine. I can assure you that was not the case here. Purchased new from an authrized retailer for less than $1k Originally was looking for a decent used setup u til I came across this deal. 7.2 will come in the future, but this is more than enough for my current space.

I've yet to hear a streamed movie sound as good as the lossless codecs found on blu ray discs. Not once. Your missing out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will eventually, just don't spend a lot of time in front of my tv right now. Agree on the sound quality though. Most of what I stream is off the Plex server and my buddies who host it do a pretty good job with audio quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
