A:AnswerI am currently running a Realistic STA 2080 Vintage receiver . I play mostly vinyl on a Rega P 2 Table . These speakers sound awesome . They are very sensitive speakers so I would think any receiver with 35 watts per channel on up would work fine . They can handle a ton of power if you want to feed them . My Vintage receiver delivers about 85 watts per channel and sounds amazing . Hope this helps you and enjoy the speakers if you purchase .
A:AnswerSince the RP-500M has smaller drivers than the 600M, it will not be able to hit as low of frequencies. However, because of this, it will be forced to focus more on the midrange frequencies.
A:AnswerThere are many good options based on your budget. You get a lot of speaker for the money with Klipsch but move on up to the Reference Premier series.
A:AnswerKlipsch RP8000F's is what I have and love them. You get a lot of speaker for your money. Adding the Atmos speakers will really give you more movie enjoyment.
A:AnswerYes. The Klipsch R-820F is probably the model of which you refer. Safety is not an issue. It would take lots of power to blow these out. I have the Denon AVR X-6700H pushing 140 W/channel and my Klipsch RP8000F's sound great. The R-820F has a sensitivity rating of 97dB's and my RP8000F's have a sensitivity rating of 98dB's so they do not require a huge amount of power blow your ears off.
A:AnswerDefective would be my first guess. Not to be condescending but, even if you had the phase (polarity / black to black and red to red) wrong, they would still work but would not sound right. Most newer/better receivers have setup assistants built in so you have to tell the receiver how many speakers you have and they will show you which binding posts on the back of the receivers the speaker wires/cables go to. Since you tried 3 different receivers that probably isn't the problem. If you are connecting bare wire to the speakers, I have seen people slide the wire so far through the binding posts that they are tightening the post down around the wire's insulation which would block the electrons' signal through the wire. I used to use bare wire but banana plugs or spades are so much easier. On the funny side, I saw a friend hook up his new speakers and told me they didn't work. He unknowingly had the mute on which blocked all sound and he was slightly embarrassed when I hit the button and the sound came out. LOL
A:AnswerIf your receiver is Bluetooth it will work with the speakers. The speakers are not Bluetooth by themselves. Most new decent receivers have Bluetooth. If you have an old receiver that does not have Bluetooth then you can buy a Bluetooth unit that you can plug in to your old receiver and make it Bluetooth.
A:AnswerSmall. Setting as large will eliminate your ability to adjust the crossovers on your fronts. Bass mgmt should not be LFE+Main. That setting is asking the subs and the fronts to do the same work or put out the same frequencies. Set to LFE. The Denon will default the sub X to 120Hz which will getting a little more sound out of the subs. All of this is very subjective to the listener (or the guy who paid for the equipment HA).
A:AnswerThis is more important on the hard floor surface rather than on a carpet. Subs do vibrate, especially when cranked up so isolating them does help.
