I got a Yamaha 671 AVR for good deal then a set of new Klipsch Quintet SL's for $76.20 brand new at shell shocker price. My plan is upgrade center quintet to RC-52 II, newegg has it for $349 w/ $150 promo gift card. The $150 promo card slap down on newegg dicounted $349 Klipsch sub.RW-12d. Replace an old infinity 750 sub that was part of a set. Eventually migrate 2 other front quintets to presence speakers, add some proper R/L front floor standing. Nothing will go to waste.

Right now, I can get the RC-52 center + RW-12 sub to the door $500 combined seems pretty tempting. Combine w/ $76.20 quintets, it should be awesome. I've compared the specs of the quintets to the RC-52 II and it's the same components, slightly smaller sizes by .25 inches. Same Klipsch design. And the RW-12 has IR commands that will work with Harmony One.

Would you say I could do better given this mid-range solution and so far I'm very happy with the Quintets as is - just wanna punch it up a bit more.

The 82's should fill out the rear sound stage nicely, I think.

I think you will find later down the road you will up-grade to the RF-52's or the RB-51's to match the center

The RC-52 II is still on promo for $349 and you get a $150 newegg promotional gift card (only can be used at newegg) but now I'd be paying a total of $700 for the center & sub instead of $500. Nope, not happening.

On the Denon xx-12 thread, read the first 6 posts, a terrific summary of the new models, features and pricing. Many threads are laid out so key information is maintained in the first few posts. Read one brand, and the next brand is easier, because you know what to look for in features. Since I hadn't paid attention in the last decade, the sticky threads near the top of "Amps. Receivers and Processors" were also helpful. Years ago, amps had distinctly different sounds, but with good equalization programming today, differences are much less obvious. I'm a fan of Audyssey, MultEQ XT was not available for under $1000 until this year. I got a great deal on a Denon 2112, and am still learning. The manual is bad, but the support thread is great.

This thread as been very active lately, but it does have slow times. A wait of 12-24 hours for a response to a question is reasonable. So be patient, many people drop by once a day, it's nothing like a live chat room. The search engine is better than at most forums, and you can search the entire site or within a thread, with advanced search options, too.

I have a new Yamaha RX-V671; really want the larger RC-64 II center channel but the deal is so good right now on the 52. Maybe I just need to sit tight for a deal on the RC-64 II - it looks so amazing.

then make up your own mind.
2) see '1'.
3) pick the one that has the features you want / like / need.
4) see '3'.
4) in general the manufacturers are pretty liberal with their wattage ratings, so if you can find a review with measurements that is your best bet. As long as there is enough power to meet your needs it does not matter, but if there is not enough power then yes it matters.
Wattage is not magic its voltage times current, look at the input wattage and subtract 20%... That will put you in the ballpark for the real total output power.

I have the F-30 towers(a step up from the F-20) and am very pleased with them. However you may not feel the same, each person is different, if there is any way you can find a local dealer and listen before you buy, thats always ideal. At that price though, you cant go wrong! Thats just my opinion though(not knowing what your other speakers are).
