Q: Would a Yamaha model AS500BL integrated amplifier with 85W/channel at 8 ohms be a suitable amp for Klipsch R28F speakers?

A: I would say yes, I am running mine through an old Marantz 130 watt amp and berringer mixer, these sound great.. great bass and crystal clear mids and awesome tweeters..

Q: What's the best 'sub' to go with this set? I want very good low bass.

A: Well given that you've had 10 and 12" woofers before, you know they sound great. With that said, 8" is enough, although 10" is even better as it moves more air. But a solution with these is there are 2 8" drivers in there. So my 2c is this...Get these, and if you REALLY want deep bass, get a 15" sub...either a Klipsch or something else if you prefer. To get the really low tones (down to 20hz where you really feel it) requires a 15" or larger sub. It can be done with others, and for example the Klipsch 10" sub sounds great...but it only gets down to the low 30s at spec. It will play down to 27, but it is weak there. These + 15" sub = happiness for you imo.

Q: Does This speaker have an aux port?

A: Dude, you need a receiver for these speakers, how will you plug in your phone to a speaker and expect it to work? this is not a powered bluetooth speaker.

Q: What is the height of the 8" model?

A: This product is 42 inches tall.

Q: In store towers with 8" speakers sounded fuller/ deeper than the 6.5 " speakers. Would I hear the same difference at home being a smaller room to listen than the store?

A: no speaker will sound the same at home, furniture,rugs, room openings, size of room,pictures,u might be instantly happy/,speaker placement /,toe in ,/power going in to speaker/ it takes time/,hours of listening, level , distant ,have fun and enjoy ,the experience

Q: what denon receiver for these speakers would be the smallest one could go?

A: I have a Denon receiver myself. Model is some letters and 600 something. They put out about 150 watts times two into a 8-ohm load per speaker. The Klipsch towers LAUGH at my receiver's amp! Driving the towers hard and loud for over an hour and then, Silence. The amp's "protection circuit" shut it down to keep it from melting! After a cooling off period, the party continued (at a significantly reduced volume) and the Klipsch towers were STILL LAUGHING!! Lesson learned.

Q: Will an Onkyo TX-NR656 match well with these speakers? Thanks

A: Yes it will, that's the receiver I'm using. Works GREAT!!!
