OldMan Audio Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi, I was hoping someone in the community can help we out with recommendations on setting up my new R-26F speakers. Here is the AV receiver I have: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/rx-v481_u/ I know it seems a bit under-powered. But I have no intention of driving these loud at max volumes (old now and too many rock concerts to mention). Anyway, the question is: 1. would I get the best sound by Bi-amping these to the receiver? 2. Is the receiver adequate powered for mid to low volumes regular use? 3. I have a polk audio sub with adjustable roll-off. Should I use 120Hz setting for the sub? 4. If Bi-Amp is recommended, what roll-off should be set for Hi's (top red-black posts) and Mid Range (i.e. lower 2 red-black posts)? 5. I'm assuming that when R-26F's are bi-amped, the 1800Hz X-over is also bypassed. Is this correct? Much of this stuff is new to me as the 70's and 80's was just a 20W receiver and good set of stereo Klipsch was all that was required for great sound. Please help.

Should I use 120 Hz setting for the sub or higher? 4. If Bi-Amp is connection is recommended, do I need to setup roll-off for Hi's and Mid Range drivers? 5. I'm assuming that when R-26F's are bi-amped, the 1800Hz X-over is also bypassed. Is this correct? Much of this stuff is new to me. The 1970's and 80's was just a 20W receiver and good set of stereo Klipsch = great sound...the end! Things are very different now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RoboKlipsch Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 No benefits really to biamping here. Any avr will work fine with the high sensitivity. Crossover anywhere from 60 to 120 based on what sounds best. No stress easy setup and get rocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
