007 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 you guys are right, the bigger the better, even at low volume. If feels like a movie theater. I cant wait to get a HT system! I see lots of different set ups with processors and amps and im really confused about it all. I mean they had this one processor that was 6 grand! and had a mini LDC of the movie on it! If i were to invest in the reference stuff, what kinda of power would i need to feed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachuckster Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I have the RF7 line, with a Denon 3803 powering them. It is SWEET! more than enough power, and very clean. Ive had the setup for about 4 months, and I couldnt be happier. You will not be dissapointed with the 7s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurs Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 dachuckster is spot on with the Denon 3803, that was my first setup and it is awesome. The beauty of Klipsch is you don't need a ton of power to drive them to beautiful and very live sound. Good luck, keep us posted on what you get!

Yup, it's a fine processor. But like other's have said, with Klipsch's, while you want a good receiver (or separates) to go along with it, no need to spend thousands. They will sound awesome pretty much no matter what. And the speakers are so efficient, having a monstrous powered amp isn't really necessary, unless you want to power a large room, or are just crazy like a little green Santa elf lurking around on this forum...

garymd Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 You don't need a lot of power but almost always, more power means more features. The 3803 is more than adequate. Actually, it'll blow your doors off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 I have had my eye on the 3803. Its only a grand and you get 100+watts per channel. I just love the way these big speakers sound. I think i would invest in the SVS B2-Plus over the RWS-12 because of hte price vs. performance. I wish klipsh subs were cheaper. On another note, i just got the PM 5.1 Ultras in the mail today and WOW, these things are cool. The sub is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 If you got your eyes on the 3803 for $1000, Goodguys also has the new Sony 3000ES receiver on sale for that...it's rated at 150 watts x 7. I would also check out Pioneer Elite, especially since their new line has come out (although the 45TX and 47TX are still awesome if you can find them). I've always wondered why Goodguys never carried Pioneer Elite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
