If you look on eBay, the seller onecall has this sub. They have it also in cherry, which I haven't seen other places. They have both new and "open box." They are spectacular to deal with, I was happy purchasing from them. They also sell many other items, both on ebay and their website and their store too if you're in Seattle (IIRC). I am pretty sure they are an authorized Klipsch dealer too. If you do the eBay purchase right, you'll also be able to get about a 6% discount by using the eBay gift card purchased at Target, and then getting the eBucks of 1% also. I think it is possible to do slightly better with some other website promotions, but I hadn't taken that step yet for just a 0.5% or so benefit vs. the risk of the unknown.

SilentKnight Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 So i've narrowed down my receivers to either Denon or Marantz 9.2 receivers. The main features I would be using the receiver for is Dolby Atmos and DTSX. I would also be using them for mostly movies/gaming and occasionally music. My speakers will be the Klipsch reference premiere line: 2 RP-280F, RP-450C, 2 RP-250S, R-112W and later on i will buy 4 RP-140SA Dolby Atmos modules. For Denon i'm not sure what the difference between the AVR-X4300H and the AVR-X4400H is. They both are 9.2 channels with 125 watts. For Marantz I have a bit more options with the SR6011, SR6012, SR7011 and SR7012. My budget is no more then $1500 CAD. The receiver and speakers will be in a 20(L) x 13(W) x 8(H) room. With Klipsch speakers being so efficient which receiver do you guys think would best fit my setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SilentKnight Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Lol I know, I just don't want to make the wrong decision and regret it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If some of those AVRs have Audyssey XT32, and some only have Audyssey XT, go with the ones that have XT32. I assume they are all new. If so, be sure they include the Audyssey App. In judging power output, ignore the specs that were measured with just 1 or 2 channels opperating. Search for the power rating with all channels operating, with distortion below 0.1%, 20 to 20K Hz. Oh! I posted on this thread earlier, and gave a much more complete answer. See that post.

SilentKnight Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Will the Klipsch rp-140sa sit on top of a Klipsch RP-250S? The RP-250S are being used as my rear speakers. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the 450 tommorow and will look for some good deals on everything else later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly $2700 for everything. I plan on buying the 15 inch sub later on down the road. What receiver do you have with your speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentKnight Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Does anyone know a good place to buy a Denon 4300 receiver in Canada? I've looked everywhere and it's out of stock/sold out. Are they phasing the 4300 model out? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentKnight Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 What are peoples thoughts on the Onkyo RZ920? Would you recommend the Onkyo receiver over the Denon 4400 or Marantz 6012? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentKnight Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 So I went ahead and finally purchased my speakers/receiver. This is what I went with. RP-280F x2 RP-450C RP-250S x2 RP-115SW Denon 4400 After letting Audyssey do its calibration these are the results that it gave me. Crossover Settings: Fronts set to large, Center set to small 40Hz, Surrounds set to small 90Hz, Subwoofer 120Hz (Sub is set to LFE) Speaker levels: FL -8.5 db, FR -8.5 db, C -10.5 db, SL -8 db, SR -6, Sub -0.5 db How do these settings look? Based on the research I have done I thought the Fronts should be set to small rather than large. And is it normal to have the center speaker level lower than the fronts? Thank you for the help.

I started out with RF-83, RC-64, & RS-35, then upgraded to RS52, then upgraded the RS-52 to (4) RS-62, then upgraded to (4) RS-62 II, then upgraded my front three to LaScala Trio. Subs I went from (1) Velodyne HGS-15, then added a second HGS-15, then bought a Klipsch RSW-15. It sounded as good as the Dual HGS15's so I sold them and over time ended up buying a total of (4) RSW-15's. My system was built over several years, patiently waiting for ridiculous deals to come along and it has totally paid off. Here is my current setup You just can't help yourself from showing off, can you? LOL, it is an amazing set up, you got unbelievable prices, I'm just jealous I can't match you or OPUS for the deals. I have to slink along with my very modest system. But it works for now Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the research I have done I thought the Fronts should be set to small rather than large. And is it normal to have the center speaker level lower than the fronts? Save those settings and then experiment with mains set to small and start at 80Hz. Try center at 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, etc. and decide on what you prefer. Play a round a bit.
