andytong619 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi everyone, Would a Yamaha RX V363 be good enough to power the Klipsch RP600M? I saw a used one online for a pretty good price. If so, my next step is to add a Klipsch RP400C. Is it powerful enough to handle these three speakers I have mention? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Welcome, first impression is yes, it would and will. Others will say more...thanks! @andytong619 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The RX V363 delivers 5 x 100 Watt / 6 Ohm , the RP 600 has a sensivity over 96 dB and the RP 400 C got 95 dB sensivity . This one dB difference can be measurred but won´t be audible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 It's powerful enough on it's own, but when you start adding more speakers, it's going to start straining a bit. The RX-V363 has a maximum power output of 235 Watts for all 5 of it's channels. So don't let the 100WPC or whatever fool you. It doesn't put out more than 40 WPC all channels driven.

The Yamaha RX V363 is only a temporary solution for the front left/right and centre. I probably will upgrade the receiver once I am adding more. Thank you for your reply! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, you will risk ear damage before Yamaha runs out of power. Enjoy and let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that the maximum power you'll get running the 600 and 400 is around 75 WPC max. If it's temporary, I'd say lay on it and pull the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impedance of a speaker is always only a guide, the impedances vary mostly between 2 ohms and 8 ohms, except for impedance peaks, these can also be at, for example, 32 ohms. It will work fine they´re are compatible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I would never be in a situation that needs to run each channel of th 600 and 400 to 75 watts? I mean what will draw that much power.

Even it would be 40WPC/ 8 Ohms , that´s powerful enough because of the sensivity of the speakers mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will cause distortion eventually at higher levels of playback, and many movie scenes will momentarily jump to that. Explosions, for example, use a lot of power. The usual overhead that I go with is between 30 and 75 WPC over the continuous output recommendation. So if my speakers are rated at 150, I'd aim at 200, if they're 100, I'd aim at 150. That's a guide though, not a rule. But generally I'll try and match the WPC recommendation (thus my adjustment to power amps). Stable power supplies that can provide power is the key though, and most entry AVRs will not supply that. It's all centered on cleanliness of power.

Never really understand all the WPC/continuous output stuff until now. So in my case, the 600 are rated at 100, it would be nice to have a 150? And right now the RX V363 is 100 WPC, so it is not ideal but it will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
