Clouseau Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I am slowing upgrading my Klipsch older speakers to the newer Reference Premier system. So I am looking at the RP-502S Surrounds as upgrades. Any comments or suggestions?? RF 83s, RC 64, RS 62s, 2 SVS 16 Ultra subs, 4 SVS Prime Elevation Atmos speakers, Denon X4500W AVR, 5.2.4 system. So far the Denon runs the system without any issues. Any comments about an external amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Nothing in the Reference Premier lineup will come anywhere close to what you already have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, you have a serious kick butt system. On 7/17/2020 at 10:21 PM, Clouseau said: So far the Denon runs the system without any issues. Any comments about an external amp? IMO, get one. Been running externals exclusively for 12 years and never looked back. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Why would alter your already timbre matched system. You have the correct side surrounds so it would be a downgrade not an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thanks for everyone's comments. I thought that I have a pretty good system in the scheme of things even though it is 15+ years old. I am looking at an Emotiva XPS 3, gen. 3 Amp to add to this system to run the L/C/R channels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 So I purchased the Emotiva XPS 3, gen. 3 and waiting to it to get shipped. Can't wait to get it up and running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
