adebalko Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I have a pair of Klipsch RF-52 ii and really enjoy them. I feel like a made a poor decision when I purchased the speakers, as I went to Best Buy and purchased a Marantz NR1605 AVR receiver. I have no intentions of building a home theatre. I mostly use these speakers for music listening and every now and again a movie. I am now searching for a two channel receiver. One of the reasons I purchased the Marantz was due to the streaming capabilities. Basically, I am searching for the right two channel receiver to power the speakers, but I would like USB with internet capabilities. Any help would be appreciated.

willland Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 @adebalko, Welcome to the forum. A couple of suggestions here that should fit the bill. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/yamrn803bl/yamaha-r-n803-2-ch-x-100-watts-networking-stereo-receiver/1.html https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/intdtm7/integra-dtm-7-2-ch-x-100-watts-networking-stereo-receiver/1.html I don't think either of the two I linked to will have any trouble driving your speakers, especially the Yamaha.

adebalko Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks Bill!! I guess the other thing to consider is if it would improve the sound coming from the Klipsch speakers. I wish I would have done my research years ago before making an impulse purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, for "best" stereo sound, you need a quality stereo specific receiver, integrated amp, or preamp/amp combo. In most cases, you will extract better stereo performance with any of those mentioned over most multichannel AVRs. Your mileage may vary of course.
