FF80 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Hey folks, New to the forum, picked up a pair RP160-M's yesterday on a good deal, got them from a good speaker store in my city. I trust the guy that sold em to me, but still want to confirm if the receiver he sold them with provides the appropriate amount of power. He sold me the Onkyo TX-NR575. It's currently setup in a 2.0 mode, but going to pick up a sub today. From what I have researched, with the speakers being set in 6ohm via the receiver, there should be more than enough power for these bad boys. But don't want to damage them in anyway, not a super loud listener, just looking for crisp and clean. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers! Also, apologies if this is a repeat question. I can't get through to klipsch support, and can't really find straight forward answers online, or any forums with someone that has the same setup. Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind, they are very good speakers and the more quality you feed them, the much better off you are and the better they will sound.

parlophone1 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I run my RF42 II with Onkyo TX8050 also in 6 ohm mode for a few years now. All OK with the speakers and the receiver. You should not have any problem with your combo, just play and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
