Anatoliy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hello Everyone! Im excited to say i just got my hands on some nice equipment for my new house! Ive always read about klipsch and always wants to own a couple speakers for myself but never actually had the chance to buy them. Now im a proud owner of - 2x Klipsch RF-82 II Floor 2x Klipsch RS-52 II Surround 1x Klipsch RC-52 II Center This is really my first time building a system and now that i have speakers i need to get a A/V receiver. i have been looking at two models Yamaha RX-A870 or Onkyo TX-RZ610. Any suggestions i would be grateful for. I really enjoy listening to music with a wide variety of music anywhere from relaxing jazz, acoustics all the way to Metallica. My wife and i also watch movies! I am willing to go a little more if its worth it! Thank you! I will also be posting pics once i set things up if anyone would like to see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted August 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2017 Welcome Anatoliy. The RF-82 II is truly a great system. Of course we love photos! Two questions for you: 1) What are your plans for subwoofer? 2) Just curious why you went with the RC-52 II. The RC-62 II is the center that is designed to go with the RF-82 II. The RS-52 II are perfectly fine for that system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatoliy Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 @YouthmanI bought this system used from a gentleman and thats the center channel that he had. So not much of a choice there. I just picked it up yesterday. As far as the subwoofer goes a friend of mine said he will give me a klipsch SW-350 subwoofer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RC-62 II is a much better center and would be a nice upgrade down the road. 5 minutes ago, Anatoliy said: As far as the subwoofer goes a friend of mine said he will give me a klipsch SW-350 subwoofer. Free is good! I started out with a 10" Velodyne. Then went to a 15" Velodyne, then dual 15" Velodyne, then a Klipsch RSW-15, then two, then three, and now 4 RSW-15's. Just be warned....it's an addiction and there is no cure. RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN! LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear that i may have the same addiction with home theater subs. Ill try it, as soon as i figure out which receiver to get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2017 I never thought I would have more than one sub in my home theater. Somehow I think this forum had a lot to do with changing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard either of those AVRs although I did own an Older Onkyo 717, a 7.2 w/110 wpc. ( I quote power w/ 2 channels driven) Others here have commented on the Yamaha and the Aventage series is well liked, very reliable. The A870 is $900 and it features Atmos. A 100 wpc AVR should be adequate for use with Klipsch. I like the sound of Onkyo and it also works well with Klipsch. At $500 it the RZ610does not have Atmos, but if you will not be using that feature then you lose nothing by not paying for something you will not use. You might consider the Denon AVRX4300H 9.2 at $800. It is also highly rated and has more power than the other two listed above and the sound with Klipsch is also well liked.
