He did not put that out initially, and after a few of us put the question to him he then answered as you say. That being said, even when you read the response, it’s still a bit confusing. What’s the “3” for? In that regard I am still missing something! Good morning, I read the post in progression on my page and your question showed up after his post. Maybe the it was out of order but that would seem odd. I took the “3” to mean that he was also incorporating a Home Theater system with a center channel. Most times folks with a HT system like to drive the L, R, C channels with the same amp and power. It is an assumption on my part. If thats not the case then I have no other explanation for it. Hope you have a Fantabulous day! Geez! You’re so busy nitpicking at me that you missed the entire point of what’s been said here and hats off to “vcautokid” (if you care to go back and read your order again). OK his words made it here ahead of mine… So what? the point was still made that the OP was talking about amps ahead of speakers. Only after it was brought to his attention, and he did correct to his credit. |

I have loved my DR mono amps with my system. Complete blackness in between songs. To me that says everything. My favorite album all time is Dark Side of the Moon. There is no way to know how many times I have listened to that album. The first time I set up my system with the DR's, I dropped that CD in and I heard notes that had never been audible to me before on all the other stereo systems I have listened to. I was so impressed with them I bought a used pair that came up for sale on this site. I have not figured out what I can incorporate them with yet though and they have remained boxed and in my "overflow" room. Wish there was a way to bi-amp my 3.7i's.

Have you ever seen a post where I tried to stir up schiitt or cause a problem. In earnest I was just trying to help and then explain. If you read it any other way then I can’t help you. Geez, I try to help and get schiit on, well excuse me! I read the question and gave my answer without malice! Can’t help how you took it, thats on you. |

Want to run 3 klipsch rf7iii monoblock on each. You will not be disappointed with DR1s, they provide solid power. I have measured 106dB using my RMC-1 in Reference Stereo mode, it is quite exhilarating because the volume knob has not made it to +11 yet (Spinal Tap)  I am very fortunate to have neighbors that enjoy my music genres. I have told each neighbor to please text me if the music gets too loud and it has been crickets. |

BassX mono. 200 a side. RF7 III is about a REAL 94 or 95 db sensitive......Klipsch tends to over state.....
Even THAT much power will get you booted out of your TOWN.....
Or if you can build a TUBE amp Kit? The VTA M125 mono amps........THAT would be an end game purchase.

leonski Is correct, for two channel the Bob Latino’s are marvelous IMO. I would not incorporate them into a HT system though.

For certain speaker types and loads, the best. possible. Certain speakers benefit from SolidState characteristics. Think 'Damping Factor'........
But other speakers.....like many Old-School 'big box'.....Altec, Klipsch, Bozak and others work best with Tubes which have a very Low damping factor......
A select few, like my panels, don't seem to play favorites as long as you bring enough power for what you intend......
With high sensitivity Klipsch? You may want to find a review and see if ANY reviewer tested with Tubes. Potentially a PIA and maybe best in a cold climate,
But also, might bring out the 'best' in the high sensitivity Klipsch, where 500 watt MONO amps are, IMO an utter waste.....

Not familiar with tube amps That COULD be…..a blessing in disguise, depending on how you look at it! If you search tubes on this forum, you’ll find plenty of lively debate of the pros and cons of that subject. |

No music for me just will be movies Understood. Early in this discussion, I looked at the spec on your loudspeakers and see you have a very broad option on what you can do with amplifiers since those speakers are rated to handle 250 watts. What kind of a preamp are you using as a control center? The question goes towards how you’re controlling the LFE. Perhaps I missed this in the discussion? |

No music for me just will be movies There is virtually no reason to get monoblocks for just movies. If you want to buy them, by all means get them. But honestly any of those amps you listed would be great. I would just buy something with warranty. With the speakers you are going to run the DR-3 would be your best choice. Way more power than you need for movies, and would be great if you do 2 channel audio down the line. Runs dead quite and super cool. Very light weight (compared to other amps). |

How are the xpa1 vs Dr series?

First? It is unknown how Klipsch rates 'needed power'......IF they are really 100 db sensitive, than 250 watts would get you evicted from your STATE.....
Half that is a reduction of 3db....insignificant if you never drive 'em to redline....which is generally hard on the ears and damages the speaker....
I think it was Boom who origianlly suggested the Bas-X mono amp. At 500$ a wack? Probably not a bad choice with plenty of power....more than you'll ever probably use...
For yet MORE unusable power? I see an HC-1 of 300 a side with some additional capabilty.
Other amp builders, not mentioned include the likes of NAD, Parasound, Marantz, and even ROTEL. I'd tend to avoid the 'pro' amps from Crown and Behringer.
