One person's opinion that a center channel doesn't add much is not a consensus. A center channel is not a must to get the system up and going, but if you want to maximize what you have, you should at some point get one that matches your mains. The Klipsch model you mention should work well with your mains. By all means, get as good of a receiver as you can at this point, even if it means delaying center channel purchase. Do not rule out a center channel speaker as a purchase because one person said it is not worthwhile. I have set up with and without (using phantom center), and it was definitely better WITH the center channel. Just MHO. I have been out of home theater for a while, so I am not up on the capabilities of the newer receivers and what is good for that price.
Noob, need help please
Hi there,
I have a pair of Klipsch RP-8000F floorstanding speakers.
I am a little unclear about what I need to complete my setup.
I want to use these as home theatre speakers when watching off Netflix or Satellite TV, and also as music speakers when playing off Spotify through the TV.
Do I need a pre-amp and an amp, or just an amp? What does a receiver do?
Do I need a separate DAC too or an amp with built in DAC?
I am a newbie to all of this so willing to learn, please forgive my lack of knowledge.
My budget is max 1k but then I don’t really know what I need to bring out the best in these speakers. When watching movies I like a little warmth but also like some detail. When listening to music I like a lot of bass.
I need channels to add in a sub (I have Klipsch R-12SW) and a center speaker (yet to buy but probably will get the Klipsch RP-504C) at a later stage.
If you need more information please let me know.
Many thanks in advance!
