I am not sure if this is a receiver or a speaker question but I thought I would ask here.
Back in November I purchased a Panasonic SA-HE200S receiver. So far I have been very happy with it. I am currently using a JBL NSP1 set with a PB12 subwoofer. I now looking at buying some new speakers. I like the Klipsch Synergy series but I am concerned how they might sound with this receiver. The SA-HE200S receiver has a reputation for sounding very clean. Not necessarily bright but very clean. I am not sure how this receiver would sound with Klipsch speakers. I know Klipsch speakers sound best with warm receivers.
My alternative and more along my budget is the Wharfedale Diamond 8 series. These speakers have the reputation of being very smooth. They might be a better match for a sharp sounding receiver like the Panasonic.
One problem with the Wharfedale speakers is the efficiency rating. The are rated between 86db and 89db. The Klipsch speakers are the much more efficient at over 95db. Not sure if either will be a problem because the SA-HE200S receiver puts out 130W rated.
Right now I am just looking but plan to buy very soon. I would welcome any comments anyone might have on my choices.
