PravinE Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I am into Klipsch family from 2012... owning RF 82, RC2, RS 42, SW 112 and R-112SW connected with Marantz AV7701/MM7055 and front channels connect to Marantz PM 8005. This is my setup for playing both Music and Movies. Regarding Two channel: I was in the impression that, sound of Marantz PM 8005 and RF 82 are perfect and getting the maximum output of the speakers... until I connected my friend's amp (Onkyo A-9070). I have seen outstanding performance of RF 82 with A-9070. Massive Bass and beautiful sound (Mid is Ok). Now only I realized that I was using poor Marantz PM 8005 with Great RF 82. Eventually I am spoiling the amazing output of RF 82. Thank God, at least now I got to know the RF 82 performance. Now decided to go for good Integrated Amp to hook my RF 82. Below amp I have chosen for RF 82. I am going to buy based on your advice only. I can't see demo of any below products (Since nothing is available in the showroom for demo in Chennai, India). The dealer says they can get me if i pay full amount (waiting period 30 days to 45 days) I am ready for this. I have chosen these amps based on the spec. I have no idea how they will match with RF 82. I hope your advice will make my upgrade perfect. Vincent SV 238MK Vincent SV 237 Hegel H160 Rotel RA-1592 Rega Elicit R Creek Evolution 100A Byrston B135 (But expensive) Waiting for your feedback. If you feel any other amp pls adivse. Thank You!!

Shakeydeal Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I don't own RF82s, but this amp sounds delicious with Forte IIIs http://www.turned-onaudio.co.nz/valve-amplifiers/line-magnetic-audio/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsD Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I would look into a NAD 375bee. I think the RA1592 and Hegel H160 would be overkill. If you like Rotel then try the RA1572. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Mid is not that good like Marantz PM 8005. So i am looking like mixture of PM 8005 and A-9070. I am expecting anyone in my list of amp will have all frequency presentation good.

I am getting a demo at my house soon. . Also the shop owner adviced me to hook Cambridge Azur 851W as a Power Amp with PM 8005 (as a Pre). need to see the demo, will update you my feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsD Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I agree that there are better amps out there but i have heard the Nad on a pair of rf 82. It is a nice match. And the Nad is quite a bit cheaper than the other options. Nothing wrong with saving a few bucks. You should in any case demo as much stuff as you can in your home. You might get surprided with some amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsD Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 To be honest i would get the Ra1592 with clear intentions of upgrading to a pair of rf7. Not to diss the rf82 but i have a Ra1592 running a pair of rf7 ll and it is awesome. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
