Receiver for Klipschorn Home Theater


Looking for recommendations for a really good home theater receiver to use with my 1987 KHorns.  I am going to try and use my PSB Center (Stratus C6) with the Khorns.  Not sure how that will match-up since PSB in not a horn.  If necessary I will get something different.  I don't have rear speakers now; not sure if I will add those later.  I do have two REL 328 subs that I will try in the setup.

Don't need a lot of power, but I do need a high quality receiver that is quiet and that will match good with horns.

The PSB center is an extreme mismatch to use with KHorns. Besides being a timbre mismatch, there is a 14db difference in sensitivity. That PSB center will need a huge amount of additional power to keep up with the KHorns, and most A/V receivers give you about a 10db adjustment to balance channels which won't be enough.


Makes sense;  I will probably end up getting a good Klipsch Center.  Any thoughts on a really good receiver?

If Atmos is not a must have, I would try a midlevel or higher NAD or Anthem.  A Belle Klipsch will make a great center if you want to mount TV on top.  If you have a projector and AT screen a La Scala will be great also.
