bigpoppaphile Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi all, I currently own a pair of rb-25's and need a new receiver to power them. The advice I've received so far from others and what I've concluded from my own research has led me to consider marantz, denon, h/k, and nad. have only heard in person the h/k and denons, but niether with klipsch speakers. Figured I better also consider some advice "from the source" so to speak since we all share the love for the same brand of speaker here. My main points of interest at this time are that the new receiver have OSD for ease of set up, be at least 5.1 capable, have great 2 channel listening and be very clean sounding. My price range is unfortunately going to be the big limiting factor, around $500. While I realize that most amps in this price range are going to be considered "low end", any chance of getting at least a good build quality that will marry well with klipsch? Here is where I've been strongly considering a purchase as they are an authorized dealer with great prices http://www.accessories4less.com/cgi-bin/category/AVReceiver Thanks for any input folks!

ironwoods Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think if you're ok with 5.1, you'll have a lot of choices at that price point, and even better if you're open to the local used market, with people wanting to up their system to 6/7/whatever.1. I would also consider electronics from Yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antca Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thinking....Yamaha RX-V650 7.1 CH Receiver I have the Yamaha RX-V540 and I like the sound... the 650 is a step up and around 350 (check one of the "best price search sites") It runs The RF-3's quite nicly so the RB's should work... and when you get the bug to go to full mains and move the RB's to the back.... YOUR STILL GOOD! That's my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
