I own this receiver, and it works amazing with my Klipsch speakers. The Audyssey set-up is the best.. I did have to adjust my subwoofer a bit though after it's set-up, or my neighbores would think an earthquake was happening! The on-screen guide is a little bit better than Denon's as well. My old Sony died with a big hum in all channels so I had to search online to find a new one... and fast since I love my home theater. It wasn't easy to find out what all the new features these days were all in one place, but eventually I ended up choosing this receiver. And I am glad I did. here's a guide on how to choose one, that explains what some specs really mean to those of us that are not "techies" http://thecreativealternative.com/best-home-theater-receiver-guide/
