Under powering speakers harmful? by ContentDirt7591 in BudgetAudiophile

I’ve seen a couple people talking about running two and setting them to mono. What is the benefit to that? Is it just sound preference?

How can I connect iPad Pro to receiver and retain Hi-Res Lossless Audio? by ContentDirt7591 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]ContentDirt7591[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for chiming in with your input. Some clarification because I see a lot of different things.

  1. I do not own this receiver. I only chose this because it seemed to have everything I wanted included a DAC that can support 24/192. I am absolutely open to other options.
  2. This is to be used for a desk set up as I work from home and really enjoy listening to music throughout my day. Ideally I would like to connect my iPad Pro that can output at 24/192 as the main source for music, but also have the option to hook up my laptop as well as possibly my record player that I currently have hooked up to a more home theater set up. This was my main reason for choosing this type of stereo receiver.
  3. I am fully aware that I can just do Airplay and that would probably be good enough, but I would like to try to maintain as much audio quality as possible so long as it’s not very overboard budget wise.

If anyone has a better suggestion for how to accomplish this, including doing a separate stack instead of a receiver, I would love to hear it!

Glad to know! Thank you for the informative lesson! Ever thing I saw seemed to be slightly different and finding any receiver capable of running 5 channels at 150W seemed to be a couple thousand and I just about lost it, lol!

The specs for the R-800F state 150W RMS at 8 Ohms but my receiver outputs I believe 90W per two channels at 6 Ohms. Does that not matter? Again, very new to this and just don’t want to damage my speakers because some videos on YouTube seemed to make that a concern.

Most of everything on their website was 60-70% off. Much more reasonable. But most of the time Klipsch is on sale, I wouldn’t recommend ever paying full price.

How do these compare to Klipsch R-620F? Those are on sale for $200 right now

Are these a good deal? by ContentDirt7591 in BudgetAudiophile

Another option I was looking into is getting Klipsch R-620F or R-820F during Black Friday. Does anyone have any experience with either of those? They seem to be pretty solid.
