tmilam Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I have pretty well settled on a set of Klipsch Reference series speakers for my 5.1 HT setup (L/R Fronts--RB-5's, Center channel--RC-25, Rear surrounds--RS-25's) and have been giving a hard look at a couple of H/K receivers (the new AVR 7300 or the new DPR 2005). As far as matching goes, what is the concensus as to how H/K receivers and Klipsch Reference series speakers sound together? Even beyond that, has anyone matched a set of Klipsch references with the 2 receivers that I listed above, and if so, what were your impressions? All opinions are greatly appreciated.

All opinions are greatly appreciated. ---------------- I have Denon myself (at least as a pre/pro now - but when used as a receiver, it was excellent with Klipsch), but there are numourous folks on here that uses H/K recievers. The general conscensous is that Klipsch and H/K is a match made in heaven. I don't know of anybody using the newer models you mentioned, but there are a few on here that has "last years" 7200 and swears by them. If you want to go with "last years" model, it seems that the H/K AVR-7200 can be had for like half of what it originally went for - I am hearing just north of $800. If I was in need of a reciever, I certainly would've look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 tmilam I'm running the Harman Kardon AVR-7200 with my Reference 7'. I have been VERY pleased with the sound quality and the matchup between the two. Good luck on your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same MSRP in different brand, Denon and Pioneer Elite still stick around 1000-1500. $750 is a steal Qualitywise...... I've always no doubt about it(not sure about the treble, I like Elite's treble(some people called it a little bright, but fine with me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I've got an AVR 525 and was totally blown away by the sound when I first bought it (replaced a Denon 2802). The 2802 sounded flat by comparison. Although I have heard the Denon 3803 and think it is a HUGE improvement. Anyway, yes HK sounds great with Klipsch.
