Just following up on this thread. How did the Emotiva Amp workout?
I'm looking to do the same but possibly using the Emotiva A500 amp to do my two Heights (Front and Rear in ceiling) instead of just my rear presence speakers. Looking at doing 7.2.4 and letting the Yamaha RX-A3060 run the front, center, surrounds and back surrounds.
Front: Klipsch RF-82 II
Center: Klipsch RC-62
Surrounds: Klipsch RS-52
Surround Back: Klipsch RP-140SA
Front Height: Yamaha NS-IW280C
Back Height: NS-IW470 (6 Ohm Speakers)
