Alan.T Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Need a bit of advise as i had purchase the following Klipsch system: 1) RP-6000F (125W continuous @ 8 Ohm) 2) RP-402S (75W cont @ 8 Ohm) 3) RP-500C (100W cont @ 8 Ohm) 4) SPL-120 BV (300W RMS / 600W Peak) Due to budget issue, i'm considering between Denon AVR-X2500H or Marantz SR5013!! I hope all the expert here can advise on this. 80% of time I'll be using it to watch Blu-ray movie & stream from Netflix or online and only remain 20% listen to music. Hope to hear from you all experts soon! Thanks. ****Update: My supplier just offered me Pioneer VSX-LX503!! He said he always matched Klipsch system with Pioneer receiver!

YK Thom Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Good units all. I lean towards the Marantz, but I have a thing for all things Marantz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If movies are #1 or you use external amplification then Denon for the added features and functions at the same price point. I am hoping to purchase a Denon x4400h from BestBuy in the next week or so for $810 or less. I am hitting up the Magnolia sales guys to sell me a floor unit at open box prices, but they will not have x4500h display units for ?days/?weeks so no deal...yet. I guess i might lean toward Denon for this case. Wondering if you know the specification for this Denon AVR-X2500H are able to support my new sound system? No overpowered or underpowered?

Alan.T Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 9 hours ago, 314carpenter said: Even though I have no personal experience with your specific speakers, I really think you will be just fine. Far better power supplies than some other consumer brands in the same price range. Your ears will tire long before your D/M AVR. If you run 5 channels or more, expect 75 watts continous per channel or less 20hz-20khz, with peak burst of about 200 watts 2 channel 1khz. which does make a perfect match for you on paper. Have a look over at Audiohaulics.com for some good reviews without the BS. and real benchtests. Million thanks!!! Appreciate you advise.

rebuy Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Have you thought about buying a Refurbished unit ? I did and not one problem. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrx2400h/denon-avr-x2400h-7.2-ch-x-95-watts-networking-a/v-receiver-w/heos/1.html https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/marsr5012/marantz-sr5012-7.2-ch-x-100-watts-networking-a/v-receiver-w/heos/1.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 ^^^ Agreed! Going refurbished will likely allow you to move up the receiver food chain and you will still have the same warranty. If my local Magnolia doesn’t have any open box/floor model receivers I am interested in. Accessories4less.com is my next stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
