New setup
Gotcha.Now of course it is your $$$ and you can spend it any way you want but even though I am a huge Anthem fan and the STR integrated is on my "wish" list, and I think they mate very well with Klipsch (RP's, RF's, Heritage), I really don't think... 
New setup
@juliano32,Is your plan to insert the new integrated amp for stereo listening using the HT bypass feature or do you just want to add an outboard amp to your HT system for more power/impact?Bill 
How can I limit the volume on integrated amp
I would just get a network stereo receiver and some cheap but decent small used bookshelf speakers and encourage low level listing.  Just my guess but most renters probably would not care too much about sound quality just as long as they have musi... 
The new amplifiers is getting warmer and hot
More processing, more stuff packed in box.Bill 
B&K Reference Amp-- Upgrade Work
@davejumpin,I used to have a local guy that did great work for reasonable $$$ but he retired a few years ago. Bill 
B&K Reference Amp-- Upgrade Work
I like the B&K's that I owned, solid amps with nice build quality.  Being that the B&K 7270 is most likely more than 20 years old, maybe a little refreshing is in order with new capacitors.  I know my 20+ years old Acurus amps are due.Bill 
Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble
"I'm sticking with my Heresy III/REL subs (2) rig as it's comparatively diminutive and kicks a**."@wolf_garcia, @jbhiller,I love the sound of the Cornwalls I, II, III and Fortes I, II(have not heard newest incarnations) but Heresys and a sub/s ca... 
Noob, need help please
For maximum enjoyment for HT, I think a center channel speaker is a must but not to get you up and running as mentioned.  Any of the midlevel AVRs from the major brands will be a good start and will the brains/engine in your system.My suggestion w... 
Klipsch RW-12D Subwoofer: Repair or Replace???
I own the baby brother RW-10D and it had performed flawlessly since 2006.  With that said, not a huge amount of performance and has been in use in my small bedroom HT system for the last 12 years.  The RW-12D has a bit more output and grunt but IM... 
To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
"Yes, the Klipsch Heritage, and the Cinema and pro lines, are made here. The other Klipsch products, have been made in China for quite a while now. And ?"@jsautter ,And the RF-7 III and RC-64 III.Just to clarify.Bill 
Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no?
Yes, $600.00 in good shape is a very good price.  As far as refreshing crossovers with new caps, make sure it is needed before purchasing new ones or even just new caps.  Previous owner may have already performed the update.Bill 
Separates suggestions appreciated
The Marantz SR5013 is an AVR not a pre/pro but yes you could use it as a pre/pro with an outboard amp.  My understanding is that the Monoprice Monolith amps have a very high performance/price ratio and considering they are built by ATI, should pro... 
Yamaha A-S2000 or A-S1100
While the A-S2000 has a beefier(88,000 vs 72,000 microfarads total capacitance) power supply and fully balanced inputs, I would choose the A-S1100 for the meters alone.  Pretty petty I know but what a beauty.  I have the A-S1000 and it is a beast ... 
ethernet from a power outlet
These powerline devices are very convenient and from my experience, very stable and reliable.  I can't detect any audible noise when I use them for streaming as well as for video streaming.  I have been using cheapo(less than $25.00 ea if I recall... 
B&k EX4420
I had an EX4420 and it was a wonderful amp.  IMO, not concerning if LED is out.Maybe investigate here. https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/attention-b-k-components-owners.691314/ Bill
