Ceptorman Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 On 1/21/2021 at 1:45 PM, Jmxdc said: So I built a home theater but now I need some audio. I was looking at the Klipsch RP line I was thinking 8000f floor speakers with RP-504c center and a couple sets of RP-502S for the sides. Is this too much for a room this size? I have 3 rows and the back two are tiered up 10". Are you thoroughly confused yet? Your idea for speakers for your theater room is a good one, the RP 8000f/RP504c is a very good front three, and the 502s will work fine. These will compliment your sub nicely. You might make sure your choice of an AVR has pre outs for external amplification, but you might not need it. Welcome, and I hope you hang around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Yes OP doesn't need those Tangents in Atlanta. He has a good plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmxdc Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 So I decided to go with a second SPL-150 and the RP-8000f with the RP-504c center a pair of RP-502s to start out. I am still looking for a decent amp, looks like a lot of places are sold out or backordered. I was hoping to get the 11x from monoprice but that won't be available till March. Going to have a to save a little more before I pull the trigger on a better processor either the HTP1 or Emovita XMC-2. Everyone must be building theaters cause pickings are slim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered these instead. https://outlawaudio.com/shop/products/50-model-5000x-5-channel-amplifier.html plus https://outlawaudio.com/shop/power_amplifiers/25-model-7000x.html Same great ATI build quality but less $$$ and less power.

Jmxdc Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 I ended up spending a little extra and getting the emotiva XPA-11 GEN3 amplifier. This should be good until I pull the trigger on a newer decent processor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmxdc Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 thanks, yeah I was kinda bummed the XMC-2 sold out. I literally had one in my cart 2 days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmxdc Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I might just go with the Marantz AV7706. Anyone here tried this processor? Edited January 26, 2021 by Jmxdc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marantz AV 7706 would certainly be a good choice and partner for the Emotiva power amp, as well as for the Klipsch speakers. It got excellent reviews. That should fit, at least from my own experience. I only drive stereo but with the Marantz PM 11-S3 amp and the Marantz SACD / DAC SA 11-S3 on a fully modified Klipsch RF7 MK II SE. A fantastic symbiosis. Alternatively, I would still look at the Yamaha CX-A 5200 preamplifier, is in the same price range. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmxdc Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I think I like the AV7706 features better. Pulled the trigger so there is no going back now. I also added some RP-600M for the rear. Thank you all for the input, I can't wait to get all this installed and up and running.

Jmxdc Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 2x15's are working well Thanks again everyone for the input. I have some atmos speakers to put in the front and rear on order. I am still finishing some of the sound panels and playing with the speaker placements. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
