Which external amplifier should I purchase/is one needed?

Who has to sit on the couch? 4 inches from the wall is not a good place....

TRUST me, I'm aware. My layout is kind of terrible, and I need space in the center of the room for the girls to dance, lol

I've been contemplating putting a thin table behind the couch, but I'm getting closer and closer to my 75" TV, the room is only 12ft deep. First world problems...

Perfect!.. But now I have to ask: Do you have any sub recommendations? Somewhere in the $700 (each). Should I stick w klipsch or can I better spend my money w another manufacturer? Thanks!

What everyone is saying to you is spot on. Hell I have a gigantic room and I can't even get anywhere near half of what my amplifiers can do.

I debuted those Klipsch with a couple other speakers at my favorite high end store they are a very nice speaker congratulations. They are very efficient. When ABing against other brands I would need a noticeable amount of volume to get other brands to reach the same level they could. I seriously doubt you need amps with your Klipsch setup. Play with them first and like you said if you don't need amps well that's more money right there.

I doubt nowadays I even need amps in the room I have now and it's big. But I like amps I like being able to drive each channel I want theoretically with as much clean power as I need and not use my AVR's amp section. Which allows me to put it on eco mode between that and the fans on top that should keep that avr humming along for a long time. AVR's are asked to do a lot and everything is crammed in there. So for me amps just drive everything better and cleaner while keeping my AVR cooler and not having to wear itself out faster.

I just bought the crown 1502's Lovin thank you and all the other guys who pointed me there they sound great.

As far as subs man the ID market just is so much better then the major brands my top 2 spots for your budget is SVS and HSU. Look at the outlet store on SVS and also EBAY on SVS you can get great deals that fit under that budget. Not sure if HSU has an outlet store I'm sure others might know

Excellent! The 1502's are on my list, for when I need them. Been looking at subs for the past 2hrs, scouring Ebay and the like for deals. I think I'm leaning towards SVS, quality to price ratio seems on point. The Polk 12's I have, from my old system, are so boomy and are taking away from the new Klipsch system

SVS subs are pretty damned competitive in their respective models' price ranges.

Yeah those Polk aren't doing you any favors those Klipsch could use a step up in the ol subwoofage department some SVS would do them real nice!

Ya, I am absolutely doing the speakers a disservice by using those Polk subs. I'm currently looking at getting two SVS 2000's, still trying to decide on ported or sealed on those...

 

[ryanosaur]

What's your primary usage? Music to HT?
And I don't recall if you mentioned this earlier... too much work... what is your room size? LxWxH? Open to other areas?

Do you do more movies or music? I owned there ported pb2000's loved them so I can totally vouch for the ported version

Probably 60% HT, 40% Music. Just measured, the room is 28x12 (this includes the 10ft into my dining room). I've attached some pics, note that I just set everything up this past week. Some things are subject to change: speaker positions, couch position, etc.

How high is your ceiling, roughly?

 

[RUreceivingMYtransmission]

They are 8ft ceilings.

Guessing about 8’...
For that volume, 2 svs pb2000, Or 2 Hsu vtf2s should do the trick quite nicely. 2 Vtf 3s would own that!

Haha, that's what I'm looking for! I REALLY want to keep it under $1400...

You really can’t go wrong, but there is no replacement for displacement when it comes to subs. the PC 2000 would do you well also... cylinder design has smaller footprint, but s little taller. Output on either the PB or PC is similar. The Vtf 3 would be a step up in weight class, and give you s little bonus in mid-bass as well. A very good value for s very good sub!

The decision is KILLING ME! Suppose I'll sleep on it, been looking for almost 4hrs now, time for a break. Appreciate all the help, friend!

 

[ryanosaur]

you're welcome... I looked and looked with lots of research. I only made up my mind when Outlaw had their Black Friday sale! Don't hesitate to ask more questions!
Cheers!

Only 4hrs? I can obsess on a decision like this for months at a time. LOL
