New setup

Hi Bill,

is to bypass the HT and get a better quality of output. 
Thx 

Gotcha.
Now of course it is your $$$ and you can spend it any way you want but even though I am a huge Anthem fan and the STR integrated is on my "wish" list, and I think they mate very well with Klipsch (RP's, RF's, Heritage), I really don't think you need a $5000.00 budget to get where you want to be.  For less $$$, maybe look into a Yamaha A-S1100 or A-S2100.  Rock solid builds with a slightly warm of neutral signature and plenty of headroom with your Klipsch RP's.  I have often used my Yamaha A-S1000 to drive my Klipsch RF-63's in a 5000ft3 room and am floored how they sound together.  Plenty of bass drive with it's "only" 90w/ch@8ohms.

That is one of my problems today with the Marantz is the lack of bass and deepness. Interesting when I started my research Yamaha was the first that come up Yamaha A S3000. After reading the specs and reviews I decided to remove the Yamaha.
I will test the Yamaha. I will need to look for a dealer who accepts to send one to me to test it before I decide. 

I think any of those would be an improvement. Getting an integrated with HTBP for two channel listening will be a significant upgrade over using an AV receiver. I can’t speak to all of the units you mentioned, but our local music club meets at a local hifi dealer and we have listened extensively to the Anthem integrated with both Klipsch and Tannoy speakers and it sounds great. Yamaha’s integrateds would be on my short list also. You might also consider one of the higher end integrateds from Marantz.

Believe me, the published specs for the upper tier analog-only Yamaha A-S integrateds is definitely on the conservative side.  These amps are dead quiet, even with the high sensitivity Klipsch speakers and punch way above their given power numbers.  I have used many 200w/ch@8ohms stereo amps(Acurus, B&K, Anthem, Sunfire, NAD) and believe me my Yamaha's 90w/ch holds it's own up against them.
