Alfredo Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Hi, this is my first post here. I have just changed my amplifier from a Cambridge Azur 550 to a Marantz PM-7000N, it was more a lateral move than an update (but I like the sound of my new Marantz), but I did this to simplify my setup putting out the DAC, the pre-phono and the mini PC, indeed now I have an HD and the turntable directly connected to the amplifier. My speakers are a couple of Klipsch RF-52 I bought in 2011 that I would also like to update to improve a little bit the performance especially in the low frequency region. In general I am quite satisfied of the RF-52, so as it is not easy for me to choose a new speaker set, so as I would like to ask if in your opinion I would gain something by substituting them with the RP-6000F (the RP-8000F are a little bit too large for my room and also a little bit outside my budget). Thank you Alfredo Edited July 16, 2020 by Alfredo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Looking at the specs, they do show for one thing larger speakers of course and 1 db more efficient plus bi amp capability. There are other things may have missed. Think this would be modest upgrade but yes noticeable to some extent. Look for yourself and others may have some input.

MeloManiac Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 IMHO the sound quality improvement will be minimal. I would keep the rf52 set but add a subwoofer to the system for the lowest frequencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredo Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Ok, thank you for your comments, I will try first with a subwoofer and than take a decision. Alfredo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
