Speakers with my new HK AVR 445 ?

Charles New member Username: Ssin680 Post Number: 8 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Tuesday, February 13, 2007 - 16:31 GMT Hi, As you probably know, I just bought a Harman Kardon AVR 445 A/V Receiver. I'm now looking for new speakers and the following are available : Klipsch / Paradigm / Polk / Athena / Bose Again my room is 12X18 and I'll mainly use the system for Home theater (85%). What power range should i look for ? Thanks in advance ! Charles

Have you listened to any of these speakers? Klipsch, Polk and Athena play very well with HK. Paradigms are excellent speakers, I just do not prefer them paired with HK. What is your budget? I wouldn't worry too much about power range, the speakers you mentioned above can handle the HK.

I was offered a Polk package (RM20). This is a 5.1 set so i could add a pair of speakers in front or as surround speakers to get my 7.1 I could also go with the Cinema CT 110 Paradigms and either add a pair of surrounds or upgrade the Center/Left/Right to Cinema 220 ? Or I could take a look at Klipsch or Athena to see what they offer in this price range. Charles

Athenas would be the best match followed closely by Klipsch. Here is the Athena Dealer locator page for your use: ~~http://www.athenaspeakers.com/v2/dealers.php?ident=Dealer+Locator~~

I listened to a few ones and I went with Klipsch RB61 RC52 RS42 RPW10 Since i did not receive my Hk receiver (should be monday) I just replaced the old Denon ones on my Denon Receiver and what a huge difference already !!! Thank you Charles
