Klipsch Reference Premiere HD Wireless 7.1 Floorstanding and Monitor System with 10" Subwoofer

[PJB75]

Hello, I am not really a tech savvy person and I am in need of serious help. I just purchased & set up the home theater system listed above. I would like to know how I can connect the wireless hub via my Onkyo receiver? After setting this system up & running everything via the Klipsch wireless hub & HDTV my brand new receiver is useless and serves no purpose. 

 

Thanks for any tips or advice.

How do you like your Klipsch setup. I just sold my Denton receiver and have been enjoying the Klipsch Wireless for a couple months. The sound is so clear. I think Klipsch is on to something with the built-in amps for each driver.

I think the wireless controller is designed to be used in lieu of an AVR.   You could potentially use it as a really expensive HDMI switch but otherwise it's features would go unused as you said.  That's what I see a a major limitation of a system like this.  No room correction, no Atmos, inability to use other speakers.  What would be ideal is if they incorporated the WiSA tech into a modern AVR allowing a mix of wired and wireless.  I'm guessing it will happen eventually.  Denon has their HEOS tech but right now their standard AVRs don't allow HEOS speakers to be used for surrounds even though their soundbars with HEOS do use wireless HEOS for surrounds.
