Denon + Klipsch = Tha Bomb!

I sold Klipsch, Energy, Athena, and Mission speakers back in the day (ok, 3 years ago :) ). Klipsch were by far my favorite for rock/home theater (better bass, better 'projection' of voice). Mission were my fav's for jazz and acoustic music (smoother).

For home theater, I'd go with a Denon 1800 series amp (or above) and Klipsch speakers.

The one nice thing with the Klipsch is that since they are such an efficient speaker, you can power them with anything. The higher the current (Denon, Onkyo, HK, Integra, Marrantz, etc.) the better. They still sound great with average amps though (Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Yamaha).

Myself currently, I have a crappy JVC amp, Panasonic DVD audio capable DVD player, and System Audio SA1110 speakers (awesome little bookshelf speakers!). Pretty bad for a so-called audiophile and connaiseur. :rolleyes:
