That all depends on what your doing.Or trying to do.2-channel set up or are you looking to piece together 2 systems?The klipsch sound is different than the polk sound,some prefer it,some don't.Useing all of them together may sound weird in the same room.Since you have the sub to match the K-7's,use that for your 2-channel,if your going to go HT,you still need a center channel and surrounds.The monitors are great speakers on there own,to keep them in a surround duty would be a waste.Plus you have the timbre matching problem between the klipsch and polks.Pick one or the other for a seemless sound across the board.yOU HAVE SOME NICE GEAR THERE,BUT,have you given any thought on exactly what kind of system you want to end up with?

turbobusa65

2 channel "stereo" right now I have the polk monitor 11's and klipsch rf-7's side by side, driven with my old marantz 2275 and they sound pretty darn good like they are, I just want more volume!

steveinaz

I'll go surround sound as soon as I grow 3 more ears...

2-channel foreveah baby.

Your Marantz has preamp outputs (AND main amp IN, too), so I think you need an amp of at least 200wpc. A NAD maybe. Look for a Power Envelope. Or how about a Crown? The Klipsch are good for volume, but I'd ditch the Monitor 11's and look for Cerwin Vega.




Sorry, couldn't resist. The above is a joke. This is serious though: If you are just looking for more volume, why are you wasting your time with HiFi equiment? Pro sound is where the volume is. Couple hundred Watts into some 107db efficient speakers-- there you go.

C'mon boy's and girl's,a 2-channel set up? With 4 speakers,possibly 6 ? Different brands,sound.?Maybe I am a bit out of line here,but he must be looking for a quad set up,not 2 channel.Oh well,maybe these old ears are shot.What ever floats your boat..........

MR.TONY, the marantz 2275 was, a two channel amp, fact! you can have two mountain's of speaker's and still be two channel, "STEREO"!! notice at your next CONCERT!! To make the 2275 into four channel you had to buy a componet called, The model 4000 "QUADRADILE" adaptor wich was specifically desinged to ADD the "DIMENSION" of four channel! FACT!! WOW!!! I am learning some stuff!!! thank's you guy's!!!!

turbobusa65

Anyway, the Marantz will be back in the closet, "for a little while" Because like I said. Comming is a klipsch RSW-10 powered sub 400 watts. An Adcom GFT-555 TUNER, GFP-555 PREAMP, GFA-555 AMPLIFIER, 200 watts per channel, PLUS, ANOTHER GFA-555 AMPLIFIER, 200 watts per channel with MUSICAL CONCEPTS modifications!!!!

Seems you told me.....huh!
Concerts are not in 2-channel...fact
YOU yourself mention in the above the word "quad" and "four channel"
2 channel and quad are not the same thing...fact
If you want pro gear,get pro gear for concert volume.
Seems to me your all about the noise level over the quality of what you hear.

Now I know why Doro wanted time off.

turbobusa65

Mr.Tony I'll try again! To make the 2275 marantz into a four channel set-up you had to buy an "AD-AP-TOR" called, The model 4000 "QUA-DRA-DILE" and it was "spe-cif-ic-ally" desinged to "ADD" the "DI-MEN-SION" of four channel sound!! "please" take no offence at my picking!!:D P.S. BY THE WAY WHAT ARE CONCERTS IN 2 OR 4 ???? ANYBODY??? I thought it was two but i have been worng before.

turbobusa65

By the way mr.tony to take advantage of four channel systems normally you would have a speaker or "speakers" in each corner of a room. all the concerts I have ever been to, has everything up front, walls of speakers to the left and to right right of the stage, none in the back, hummm. zztop-van halen-robin trower-foghat-ac/dc-and many many others can't all be wrong. oh! did I tell ya about the time I was a roady?

quadraphonic

4 channels quadraphonic labelQuadraphonic sound uses four channels in which speakers are positioned at all four corners of the listening space, reproducing signals that are independent of each other.

History
Quadraphonic sound was one of the earliest consumer offerings in multichannel audio, introduced to the American market in the early 1970s. Quad was not one format but myriad different and largely incompatible formats on different media: quadraphonic could be obtained from vinyl records, eight tracks, and reel-to-reel. Further complicating quadraphonic was the fact that some systems were discrete, while others were matrix. There were even some experiments with radio broadcasts, for example a Cliff Richard concert by the BBC, although they were short-lived.

"Quad", in its original form, was a commercial failure, the LP formats were plagued with technical problems, most of which were solved too late to save quad. It also was more expensive, and required extra speakers, which became a decorating problem. It also suffered from lack of a standard format for LP records. However, quite a few recordings were made before its demise. It was only the rise of home theater products in the late 1980s and early 1990s that brought multi-channel recording formats back to the forefront, albeit in a completely different and perhaps unexpected form.

Thanks for the history lesson,as YOU SAID,2-channel.Not the same as Quad.
I understand mountains of speakers all playing in stereo.Hence your question of will all this work together?Hell,anything will work together by turning it on and produceing noise.While I am not trying to get in a pissing match with you over the difference between Quad and 2 channel,there is more to this hobby than just hooking up gangs of speakers to monster amps.You say you learned lots here on this forum....exactly what have you learned? Just curious.Certainly,nothing on timbre matching,probably room placement,or being thorough when asking a question.My answers where not intended to offend you,but to gather more info,such as size of your room,music you listen to,etc.If quad is your thing,knock your socks off,the klipsch will play plenty loud on the gear you have.Just don't see where the polks fit in.If you think it will all sound great,hey,have at it.Who am I to tell you what sounds good.All I am saying,to ME,the combo of Klipsch and Polks would sound like ****.I am done.

Deadof_knight

Tony , ok 2 channel setup 4 maybe six speakers not always but diferent types of speakers aka different timbers they can be complimenting or they can be oh so bad ...its all in his ears not ours........ He did purchase some nice equipment. Im with you on those brands but its a subjective thing. I dont think anyones taking offence, Sometime what we write with out seeing the person gets taken out of context...... no harm done right ?

Besides I like it loud tooo but I wanna hear every freaking detail !!

tonyb

Haveing grown up with Quad,I know what it is.But he keeps comparing 2 channel to quad.I RESPECT THE FACT HE LIKES QUAD.You are right,sometimes things get taken out of context,no harm no foul,for me.
Look,we all know sound is subjective,so when you ask a question here,you will get different opinions.And mine was it would sound like **** to me.Nothing more,nothing less.

turbobusa65

Mr. Tony I am very glad you consider me your friend, and I definitly want to keep it that way. I promise if you met me in person, you would love me. most say I am one of the most loyal and true friends they have. Us cajuns "coon-****'s" love to joke, and kid around and yes some time 's rib!!! That said, The polk's were givin to me, and I had them fixed. so i just could not let them sit there without at least trying them w/ the klipsch, and while they dont sound like "****" you can hardly hear them next to the rf-7's the do fill in a little, sepreatly both sound good but it takes it takes almost twice the volume on the knob about 12 o'clock to produce the same "loudness" as the klipsch make at 9 o'clock. just trying what I have and playing around right now, wating on a ton of stuff to come in as we speak!!! oh!!! I really dont like quad or all this T.V. STUFF it has it's place of course, but in my opinion it was the death of stereo. I mean try to go in any place and ask the kid selling the equipment, where's the two channel audio, and "around here at least" they look at you like youe crazy!!!

MR.T "I do not like quad" you just read that i had four speakers hooked up, and assumed it was quad.;) :cool:

George Grand

Okay sport. You're trying to enlighten people who are far more enlightened than you happen to be. Get the big picture.

When you recently asked this very same question at AK, I'm the one who told you to definitely get another pair of Klipsch and stack them. Then get another pair of Polks and stack those. Then get another sub and stack those.

NOW that I know exactly what type of sound you're looking for, take all that stuff, move it into a gymnasium that has no sound treatment whatsoever, and drive it with an old Bogen PA amplifier. You will have reached your goal.

Leave it to George to say what we were all thinking...
