Alex, I see you're also a man of culture. I've recently admitted that my Marantz SR5015's rated 100w/ch (more like 93w with all seven channels driven) is inadequate for my RF-7 II mains in my 7.1 setup. I was shocked to find this video on YT featuring someone running very similar gear. I'd like to add THAT amplifier to my chain using the Marantz's pre-outs. I'm curious if you can hear any audible hiss or humming from your RF-7s while using the 2502. Any idea how this amplifier would stack up versus an Emotiva XPA-3 Gen 3 in a home cinema environment?

I purchased these speakers in December still boxed once I have the ceiling speakers fitted I’ll unbox them also purchased the matching RC 64 lll. Will be powering these with a separate power amp running through the Denon A110, for home cinema setup. Who would have thought in Co Antrim Northern Ireland Klipsch have a distributor here fantastic.

Hey Alex sweet set up man. I just got a brand new pair of rf7s two days ago. I'm running them on a Denon x4700h. I need an amp! I'm just so stuck between whether to get a dedicated HT amp (monolith/emotiva) or to use a proamp like the crown. How is your crown holding up so far? Thanks man any info would be very much appreciated
@Alex-ov3bz

Thank you! The denon is a good receiver. Either amp you choose it will be a good one. However the crown is only a two channel amp. The emotiva 7ch or 11ch will make a good choice depending on your configuration. I use the crown to power the klipsch rf-7iii. I use the the receiver to power the rest of the speakers. I use a secondary crown to power my rear channel speakers. Slight over kill. But it suites me. The crown Amos are amazing but they are not a pre amp only amp. Hope this helps.

Hello. Great videos! I have only powered my speakers with pioneer elite receivers over the years with no additional amplifiers. My front towers are Definitive Technology BP7000SC that can handle between 20-1000 watts. These are 8 ohm speakers. This XLS-2502 will push 440 watts to each speaker by simply plugging them to this amp? Sorry for my lack of knowledge on amplifiers. I have only been Bi-amping these towers for 14 years. They are part of my home theater set-up. Thanks!

Joe Brandon Hi Joe! I really like the pioneer elite receiver. I believe they are class D like the crown amps. The crown is rated for 440watts at 8ohms. Since we are dealing with pro audio equipment to consumer grade equipment power may vary. What I introduced to my systems is the rolls mb15b rca to xlr converter. It’s a 50$ piece of equipment. It boosts the signal coming from the receiver to the amplifier to give the amp the extra juice to perform its best. It really woke up my sound stage.

Alex Audio thanks for the fast response. Is that 440w per channel or 220 and 220 for each channel? I’m looking at switching to the Yamaha RX-A3080 and it has xlr Preout connections that I would plug into the Crown amp.
@Alex-ov3bz
4 жыл бұрын
Joe Brandon no problem, it’s 440 per speaker if the amp was bridged it would be 1550watts to one 8ohm speaker. I like the Yamaha AX3080 with the xlr outputs. I was going to go that route but did not want to buy Many amps at the time I was buying but then started to experiment.

Hey nice Video i use the Klipsch RP 8000 together with a Crown XLS 1502 + Onkyo TX RZ 820. Do you got a noticeable hissing sound out of the tweeter when playing no music at all ? I connected the Amp with a RCA cable to the receicer btw... My hissing is always the same noise level no matter how much i turn up the amp ( or receiver). Please let me have your experience with a Crown Amp+ Klipsch Loudspeaker.

@Alex-ov3bz
4 жыл бұрын
bagged_e39 the biggest difference is the power and Bass is more pronounced when you power it with the crown. Especially when you are running all 9channels on the receiver to amplify your speakers . You need the extra power from the amp so it does not drown out the rest of your speakers. The MARANTZ receiver is an excellent choice.

Alex Audio that’s great to hear especially because there are not many videos of people running the crown amps in home theater.
