Need some help. I have bought Kliptch RF 62 speakers & Yamaha RS 300 Stereo receiver. The speaker wattage is 125 Watts per channel & the receiver is 50 watts per channel . I like overall sound when I am watching movies but don;t get that punch of bass while listeing music . I read in the forums that RF 62 are bright speakers & Yamaha receivers is not a good match . Would I get more bass with higher wattage receiver , say 100 watts per channel ?? What brands & watts of receiver I should look for ? thanks !

A receiver with 100w/channel will not necessarily provide you with the punch you desire. If your Yamaha had stereo preouts, I would suggest a quality outboard amplifier. It looks like the RS300 does not have a subwoofer preout either. My 80w/channel Integra DTM-40.4 has plenty of punch and bass drive to get the woofers in my Heresys and RB-35's going. It has stereo preouts if I wanted to add an amp and subwoofer preouts. I have no problem suggesting the Onkyo TX-8050 network stereo receiver which is the Onkyo version of the Integra DTM-40.4. It too has stereo preouts and a subwoofer preout.

Switching avr's is the easiest thing to do. I don't think you need an external amp as much as you need a good sub. The 62's woofers are no match for a good sub. The only other way to get more bass is with a passive sub connecter to the speakers. They are getting harder to find since people like powered subs.

Thanks guys , just checked my RS 300 .It has a subwoofer preout . Spoke to the dealer & going to see some subs. They are around NZ$500 + . Also would check RS 700 to see the price difference in case I plan tp upgrade the receiver. He is happy to xchange as well . . Shall let you know soon . Cheers !

Under most situations, I would totally agree. For at least a half a year, I powered my recapped and CT-125'd Heresys with an 80's/90's Luxman R-117 receiver and no other combination(preamp/amp, integrated amp) made my Heresys sound that good. Unmatched punch, detailed mids/highs, and spot on imaging. I agonized for some time on this decision, but I sold the Luxman after I bought(free) my Integra DTM-40.4 receiver. I lost about 5% in overall sound quality, 10% in headroom, 5% in midbass punch, 0% in imaging/soundstage/detail, but gained network capabilities, wired and wireless, built in Pandora, Spotify, etc., and music file streaming.

They do still sell it but for a fraction of the price, the Onkyo TX-8050 is 98% the same as the Integra DTM-40.4. Only difference that I can tell is the Integra has a zone 2 subwoofer preout also and a detachable power cord.

I like Harman Kardon for stereo receivers. Albeit, there are a ton of awesome stereo receivers out there, HK is my go to. They are also the brand of the first receiver ever made! Just cool history associated with the brand. My HK that sits in my office has been going for about 13 year now and still sounds as wonderful as the day my dad got it for me.

which fits in my budget . Also thinking should I upgrade to 5.1 channel receiver , just incase , in future I plan to add speaker to make a HT. Would it matter if I play only two front RF 662's & a sub on a 5.1 receiver ? They have a few options to fit my budget Denon DAVRX500B , Yamaha RXV 375 & Pioneer VSX323 ?? Or just stick to the my Yamaha RS 300 stereo ?? My use would be movies as well as music . Any suggestions would be helpfull . Thanks !

If I were you, I would wait on the 5.1/7.1 receiver for when you do decide to got for HT. With the receivers you have mentioned, I think your 2-channel/2.1 music playback will suffer. All models mentioned are near entry level receivers and they will not be as "future proof" as the upper models of each of the brands. Also, as you wait to fully dive in to HT, your budget may be able to grow a bit so your choices would be broader.

Gave a bit of a thought . I don't mind spending a bit more looking at long run . Don't mind adding more speakers slowly . So I am checking some mid to high end av reveivers . The two the dealer recommended are Yamaha RXV 675 7.2 ch & Pioneer VSX 1123 7.2 ch amps. I could connect pioneer to Klipsch rf 62 there & heard them , Sounded good . Good base & sounded warm while playing on pure direct . He somehow could not connect yamaha !! He also mentioned that Pioneer have a few more futures like 4k pass through to future proof . Again I am a liitel hesitant with Yamaha knowing they are bright apms . Getting a bit inclined towards Pioneer . Have anyone have any experience of Pioneer amps with Klipsch ?? Thanks !

I started with a B&K pre for my 2ch. But it has no EQ so i got a emotiva umc-1. I like my B&K amp over the emo amp But the umc has a nice EQ and sounds a lot better than the B&K. The best part it cost me around 250 used on ebay. I was shocked how good it sounds. Really impressive.

I am an old guy...and back in the day we didn't have SUB's and the speakers we used provided plenty of Bass. No offense to anyone here but I firmly believe the AV receivers of today are junk for 2 channel audio and that stating a "sub" is the solution is not the best answer and that is just My opinion. I think an old 2 channel amp/preamp is what is needed and that the AV receivers just cant provide really good 2 channel sound while playing music

You can get a sub and hook it up and IMO it will just mask the fact that if you turn the sub off....the music sounds well....not all that good.....if it starts off sounding not all that good...how can adding a bunch of bass make it sound good?

So you went pffft when you saw the power rate. Let me tell you how powerful 50 watts per channel is. It's plenty of power to fill my uncluttered, unfinished 40x45x9 basement gym with fatigue free, warm, sound. Turn the volume up to about 75% (you will have to shout to be heard) and you can dance to the music while standing outside 60 ft. away on my front sidewalk. If you listen at that level I feel for your neighbors and your hearing. I prefer conversation level so I have the volume at about 10% and maybe half of that for background level. I live in south New Jersey and by attaching the supplied single wire antenna I get perfect FM reception from both Atlantic City and Philadelphia. You can fine tune your preferred sound by setting the Variable Loudness. I work from home and music is my passion so the unit's on day and night yet feels room temperature to the touch. With a damping factor of 150 this 2.1 amp cleanly powers a pair of 4 way, KLH floor standers with the giant 15'' woofers and sends signal to a Polk 50 watt sub. On the RS-300's front panel there's a dimmable display, a Pure Direct button to bypass the display and all coloration, separate bass, treble, balance knobs and A or B or A+B speaker switches. In the rear you can connect a Phono w/ground, CD, 2 separate Tape/Record players, and an auxiliary line, a subwoofer jack and an impedance switch to match 4, 6, or 8 ohm speakers. All sources sound great but there's something special in the detail and bass listening to CDs with the Pure Direct. For me the true test of a set-up is DO YOU LISTEN TO IT and as stated I play it all the time and enjoy all genres. The RS-300 has been discontinued but if you can find one buy it, I gave it 5 stars.

Employing the Variable Loudness DECREASES the volume. Enabling the Pure Direct feature will override the loudness function and INCREASE the volume instantly. You should LOWER the volume significantly before utilizing Pure Direct or you could damage your speakers or worse your hearing. Also the rear speaker jacks do not accept dual banana plugs or spades, you may use single plugs or bare wire.
