gnilrets Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm having trouble finding comparable specifications, would the Sony STR-DH770 be powerful enough to properly drive the speakers in the Reference Premiere RP-250 home theater system offered through Klipsch?(https://www.sony.com/electronics/av-receivers/str-dh770#product_details_default) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Welcome. You'll want to look at an AVR that provides better quality parts and better quality power. I highly advise you look at Denon, Marantz and Onkyo if cost is an issue. Sony's, excluding the ES units, are not known for their dependability or their quality - unfortunately. What is your budget? We might be able to help. Movies? Music? Atmos? 4K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The Sony is not a bad avr. I should have enough power and has some nice features. I have one that is 5.1 and had my RF 7 system on it. It was lower wattage than the one listed. It is still powering my living room system after 10+ years. Sony does not get much praise around here but, that does not mean it is a bad avr. My comparison of the Sony is to a Flagship Onkyo, and two Pioneer Elite Flagship avr's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yepimonfire Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I own the DH 550. I am pretty pleased with it. Sony cut costs in all the right places. The receiver is incredibly basic and basically offers little more than decoding, switching, and amplifying. It should do about 68w per channel into 8 ohms, Klipsch speakers are incredibly easy to drive, but if I were you, I’d stretch your budget just a bit more and go with a Denon or onkyo entry level receiver.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Depending on how you use your system it may be absolutely fine for now. It should drive your system fine at moderate to moderate loud levels. If you are one that likes to crank things through the ceiling you will want to migrate to a more powerful unit. I use a Marantz which has always been more than up to the job. I don’t run at theatre level volumes because a. I find that to loud for my enjoyment and b. I live in a condo tower and such volumes would be pushing it. One of many nice things about Klipsch is how utterly clear and defined they are across the volume spectrum.

RoboKlipsch Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I had a dh750 up until a few days ago and it was more than enough. Watts are never a problem with Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
