any suggestions as to a receiver that would be a good match

Glad to say that after 2.5 years these things are still good as new. The Onkyo receiver is getting a bit glitchy though. Auto switching between settings for inputs is abrupt and not optimized, so I have to adjust settings more than I'd like. And pass thru doesn't work anymore. I'm not up to speed on specific models these days but I'd start at $500 and go up from there. Harmon Kardon is well respected, I imagine they'll get a hard look next time around. 7.2 should be standard on most units in that range. Also Wi-Fi, etc could be cool. I'm not lacking for good speakers these days, but I would prefer simplicity which my onkyo lacks ($400 in 2009). Start with the negative reviews and go up from there keeping in mind a small allowance for factory defects, and if possible try it in store, or a similar version. Brands normally keep similar interfaces until big money comes into play. But I am still digging these speakers, money well spent. Hope that helps!

Yes it will work. It also comes with a receiver it that is what the issue is.

I have only used this one and it seems to work just fine. I run 4 receivers off this unit and reception is good.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the unit and have owned it for about a week now. Appears to be a very good receiver.

You need to find your receiver number. Then after you have that look at the reviews and you should be able to find if it will work for that model.

Any normal receiver will work for these, I have them currently hooked up to a Sony reciever that outputs 85 watts per channel, they sound great but they can handle over double the power than that. To be honest, you will need something over 50 watts per channel to really drive these guys, anything over 130 watts per channel is overkill. Hope this helps.

I don't know that particular receiver but any receiver with RCA preouts will work.

There really isn't such a thing as a matching receiver for speakers, other than you must be sure you buy an 8 ohm receiver, since the speakers are 8 ohm.I have a few receivers and a few pure amplifiers running thru preamps.I did find one "receiver" that really drives these speakers well and sounds very good. It is an "Outlaw" receiver. They are sold direct from "Outlaw Audio". Amazon may have it.Every now and then "Outlaw" runs a promo on this receiver. Listen to the various receivers and check the reviews in the A/V mags. The beauty of these Klipsch speakers is they have a high DB rating which makes them easy to drive, even with lower power.

Any spectrum brand radio and receiver is what I would recomend the 3s and 3c are my favorite models.

If you can get that player for $29, go for it. There is very little difference in the capabilities of these two players.

If using a pair of these speakers, I would suggest the Cerwin Vega CV-900 900watt amplifier. Receiver choice is up to your personal preference.

Not this one. Others on Amazon do though. They are probably more expensive though, but unless if you already have a receiver this one will be worthless.

I think you can find a better receiver for less than you'll pay for this one, do your research. I'm not very happy with the performace and the pirce I paid for it at the time, guess should done my homework and a leson learn for me. good luck.

My former receiver was good but i'm glad I made the purchase. It manages to take ALL my hdmi units. The sound is great. I've utilized all the speaker outputs to get sound around my family room. A great receiver at a great price. I have no desire to think about 'retiring' it. I hope this helps.

We have an older receiver and it does work for that one, had to find the right position for it, but now it works like a charm.

Rushhead is correct.... Any quality receiver will work great. I am using an Onkyo 907 however I use HDMI and let the Oppo do the processing. Research receivers in your price range. If you want sub $500 look at the Onkyo 607. Great prices on Amazon.

Receiver most likely. If you have your blu ray, xbox, playstation, and cable box plugged into the receiver, use the receiver. If it is just for a blu ray player use that.
