uv_mi Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Hi, Sorry for asking the naive question among the audiophiles. I am setting up my home-theater (on budget): R-100SW 300W Subwoofer R-41M Bookshelf Home Speakers (pair) R-52C Center Channel Home Speaker R-610F Floorstanding Home Speaker (pair) My friend is offering me a Yamaha RX-V685 for hook-up for a reasonable price. Just wondering if that would be enough juice for the speakers. Hoping to get your opinion before to avoid blowing up my new speakers by doing something stupid. Thanks.

willland Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 @uv_mi, Welcome to the forum. I think you will be just fine as long as you are not trying to fill a concert hall with loud volumes. What size room are we talking about? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inMotionGraphics Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I agree with @willland... I used the RX-V679, which seems to have the same power output ratings as the RX-V685 for 2 years with a similar setup (2 x R28F, R25C, 2 x R-14M and 2 x R14S) before I upgraded to the RX-A2080. I had more than enough power for my room size and never maxed the system out, despite loving loud music and banging movie watching sessions... I don't have the biggest room (5m x 4.8m x 3.3m), but I'm confident this receiver will handle an even bigger room perfectly fine. For what it's worth, the only reason I upgraded to the Advantage series is because I wanted Dolby Atmos and therefore needed more channels. The great thing about Klipsch is that they make very efficient speakers, so you get a lot of millage out of a receiver with this system.
