nuclearay Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Last year I purchased a 2.1 to go with my avr8000 and power the 7.1 surround rears. After a little thinking, I decided to attatch the RF7 mains and RC7 to the 2.1... My reasoning was that the 2.1 was rated something like 150w through 6ohms whereas the avr8000 is rated at 8ohms. From what I read on these forums the RF7s become very power hungry when it comes to pushing the lower frequencies. I also have had personal experience with the reciever clipping while watching some very bass-intense DVDs such as in Matrix2 "the freeway scene" which seems to confirm the previous sentence. After switching the amplification to the 2.1, the clipping problems have disappeared. Since I do not have a subwoofer at this point I AM asking the speakers to do quite a bit of work, but they have done all that I have asked... and then some. As far as music goes, I never had problems with the avr8000 before, and after switching to the 2.1 I still don't. To me, they both sound great!

v3spitfire Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Not the 2.1 amp, but I have the matching 2.0 dts/dd processor/preamp and it mates with klipsh very well. I use adcom amps. The build quality on the preamp is very good. I have no experience with the power amp, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastlane Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I am looking at a Signature 2.1 here locally for $400. Is that a good deal? I would also love to hear from someone with experience with this model 5-channel amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuclearay Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I got mine locally from a pawn shop for $250, but $400 seems to be about the going rate for one in good condition on ebay/audiogon etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyman Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 The 2.1 singnature sounds excellent with the klf 30's I was a little surprised just how it really mates up good with the klipsch it really gives them a nice warm powerful sound and really put bass in the speakers I would love to get a hold of the matching pre amp . Thanks for all your replies Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
