IndyKlipschFan Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yes... besides your comment of "The Denon appears to be a good value at that price. I could use this as a stepping stone, and should (when?) I go to separates down the road, the Denon could be used to drive the in-ceiling speakers (Speakercraft) on my first floor, as well as my back yard (wired, but no speakers planned until next Summer). Thoughts?" Yes you could use it for then as well. It might be overkill in that capacity, but again a great bridge if you get McIntosh/ Sunfire, who knows, crazy later.... Where you will spend crazy $$$$ later... hehehehehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmdore Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Thanks in part to input from these forums I have just taken a major step forward with my Klipsch dominated 7.1 HT (a bit of a different path than in an earlier thread):<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 1) I just picked up a pristine Bell Klipsch (1980) as a function of a WTB ad on Audiogon (motivated to place the ad by this forum) to use as a center channel between my Khorns (1981s, original owner) all original equipment. 2) Yesterday I ordered (new) 4 KS-525-THXs (2 pairs) for use as side and rear surrounds, 2 KW-120-THX subs and a KA-1000-THX amp for the subs should be here in the next couple of weeks. As I am now preparing to move forward with electronics, what if any of the following should be requirements? 1) HDMI? 2) 1080P? 3) Balanced audio connections? 4) TXX Ultra 2 certification (yes, I realize that this is simply a stringent standard, and that not all products qualify and that many fine products, i.e. McIntosh, do not seek it)? 5) In addition, given that the Khorns, Belle and KS-525 all have power handling capabilities of 100w max continues and 400w peak, what should I target as the power capabilities of the related amp(s)? 6) Are there additional critical criteria that should apply (DTS-ES and THX-EX presumably are a given)? As there are so many choices out there, Ive listed some that have good reviews and/or multiple positive comments from various forums. Im shooting for the $3k (+/-) range, but am willing to go a bit higher (some below will clearly exceed this threshold). B&K Reference 50 S2 B&K Reference 200.7S2 Emotiva DMC1 Emotiva MPS-1 Outlaw 990 Outlaw 7700 Outlaw 2200 (7 units setting aside price, what are the pros/cons of monoblocks versus the single multi-channel 7700 unit?) Rotel RSP-1098 Rotel RMB-1077 Sherwood P-965 Sherwood A-965 Sunfire TGP-5 Sunfire TGA 7200 To the extent that people have time to comment or make suggestions, it would be appreciated. Im simply looking for a general direction at this point and am willing to post detail findings later if there is interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primocontatto Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I'm using Denon AVR-5805CI (AVC-A1XVA In Europe) with Klipsch THX Ultra 2 complete system and sound great! You can look my HT here: http.//www.avsforum.it/thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Jim: Some very nice options there. I haven't heard them all so can't comment on the others, but, in my experience you can't go too far wrong with B&K (and it's made in the USA).
