NDIGuy Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I have a question for the experts: What would be a good A/V receiver 6.1/7.1 match for these speakers? RF-15 fronts, RC-35 Center, (3) SS-1 surrounds and a ksw-10 SW. I just upgraded to these speakers from a Onkyo HT-S490 HTiB 5.1 DD/DTS system. The speakers sound really good with this receiver but I am looking to move into the 6.1/7.1 surround set up. The room is small 16'L x 10.5'W x 8'T I am looking at a price range of 300 - 600 dollars If anymore info is required to help me make a decision just let me know.

fletcherkane Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I am pleased as a pickle with my new Pioneer 1014tx. Its basically the same unit as the Pioneer Elite, but without the fancy shell... It has a great room calibration tool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popbumper Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 The Harmon Kardon AVR series receivers are fully equipped, have 7.1 capability, well powered, and reasonably priced. I have the AVR430 (now an older model, they just updated lines) at 65W/ch ($500), and am quite happy with it driving Heritage speakers. Good luck!

Frzninvt Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 It would be best your your ears to determine that, but recommendations can be helpful in pointing you in the right direction. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDIGuy Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thank you, its always good to get opinons on equipment, sometimes its hard to get out and test drive each one.. the place that sold me the speakers is stearing me to a Onkyo TX-SR702 Receiver but not to sure i want to go that route yet. I dont want to under/over power the speakers but I would like to get the most out of them. Had my sub for 2 years in this little room and could not have been happier when i bought it. I will look at any suggestons posted here but hopefully i can find a good place to test drive them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDIGuy Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 OK not too much, but I thought I would update anyways: I have ended up adding the Integra DTR 5.5 to complement my speaker set up 2 RF15's 1 RC-35 (Monster center channel) 1 KSW-10 SUB 3 SS-1 surround's Is this too much speaker for a 16 x 10 room? Now I have to figure out the whole "Large / Small" speaker thing...??? The DTR 5.5 has a setup microphone.. have to figure that out to Thank you for the advice I could not find a place to test drive the Pioneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDIGuy Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 I am hijacking my thread - Queston: How should the speakers be set? Large or small? Anyone else running and Integra 5.5 with a simular set up? right now I have the fronts all set to large and the surrounds set to small - Still playing with the set up process... I tell you what.. I have never heard a system crank like that and sound awesome in my house (first high end system I have ever owned) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Set all speakers as small with a crossover at 80 Hz or 100 Hz. Let your sub handle the lower frequencies. It will sound better and take part of the load off of your receiver. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
