bazookajoe1337 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hi all, I'm having trouble choosing a receiver. My setup is x4 Klipsch Reference Series 5 1/4" 340 watt 2-way bookshelf speakers, x1 Klipsch Reference series Quad- 3 1/2" 400 watt passive 2 way Center speaker, and x1 Kilpsch 12" 400 watt sub. I reached out to some other forums and was told that these speakers actually dip below 4 ohms or less, and most of the receivers I found did not support that. I plan on adding x2 Dolby Atmos in the distant future but I want to be certain I buy the right receiver to handle what I have. My budget is $500, could someone recommend me a good receiver for that price range? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 @bazookajoe1337, Welcome to the forum. Can you be more specific with the speakers you have. Do you have a guess what Klipsch models they are? Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, is this an ok setup for a 14x14 theater room? I have already purchased these speakers, because I found them at a very reasonable price but some validation would ease my mind lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I found a nice Pioneer Elite in that price range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazookajoe1337 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Thanks for the input guys. Is it true that these Klipsch model speakers claim they are 8 ohms but tend to dip down to 2? The other forums got me nervous about choosing the right receiver to handle that dip, so much to learn about audio it's overwhelming. 11 hours ago, willland said: @bazookajoe1337, Welcome to the forum.

billybob Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 That 4 ohms talkis in no way any concern for those speakers. Here is more on that link about the Onkyo for decent price in garage sale section: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-ZJ6dhvekswZ/p_580RZ820/Onkyo-TX-RZ820.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on what bells and whistles you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazookajoe1337 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Ended up going with a Sony STR-DH790, it had everything I needed! Hopefully I can find some solid Dolby Atmos ceiling speakers that won't break the bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 ^^^ What’s your budget for those? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazookajoe1337 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 For the Atmos? I was hoping somewhere around $300 for a pair, it's already going to take some convincing for the boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
