I have now-

Denon 2801
Klipsch KG-4
Klipsch KV-3
Klipsch KG 1.2 (will be sold when I can find another pair of kg 4)
Denon DCM-560 alpha 20 bit CD Changer
Audioquest Slate speaker cables and apature digital cables

I had 2 systems, sold 1 and can now move to a seperate amp for my Denon, or buy another receiver to replace the Onkyo that I sold. I am really more of a music listener, but I like to watch movies too. I would like the opinions of other klipsch owners, does the 1050 live up musically with the klipsch (tame that horn so to speak)? I want a warm musical sound, not the lean somewhat harsh sound I am getting with the denon. I would give up some theater performance for better music. So do I buy the 1050 for the klipsch or get the Rotel 5 channel THX amp? They are the same price. My other system had a pair of B&w bookshelfs. And how are the Outlaw interconnects? I would consider selling the Denon and buying a Outlaw if it would totally blow away the denon 2801. Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe that synthfreek runs Klipsh KG's, and judging from his comments here (from the speaker forum) he has really enjoyed them with his 1050. I have very much enjoyed my 1050 for music listening. Will the 1050 blow away the 2801? I don't really know, but I will say that I've been very pleased with mine. As for the Outlaw interconnects, they are spectacular -- I heartily recommend them.

The interconnects are awesome. Even if you decide not to buy the 1050 the interconnects are too good to be passed up.
