AV Receiver for Klipsch Reference Premiere

[hometheaternoob]

Guys,

Ok. Based on suggestions here I am going to buy my speakers this week, the Klipsch Line.

Most likely the rp 8000f pair with the rp504c center channel.

I am curious about the best receiver that wont klill my budget for a 5.1.4 setup. I am reading the 8000f need 150w power, and the receivers dont really get up that high.

Is there a perfect receiver here, or should I go lower and get the rp450c center and rp280f pair instead?

Speaker wattage ratings are typically maximum-recommended. Klipsch speakers actually take very little power to drive them to ear-bleeding levels. Any receiver you chose will work fine. Just pick one in your price range with the features you want.

You could always add a 2 channel amp, that is if you're receiver has front channel preouts.
