I've had a set of Klipsch GMX 5.1 speakers for a few years now and have been really impressed with them. I got annoyed with the crappy control pod that they had though, so I dumped it and hooked all the speakers & sub up to an older Yamaha receiver I had lying around. No problems at all.
Flash forward to last week when the Yamaha receiver died. Coincidentally, a friend of mine was looking to unload a set of Logitech Z-5500 speakers. So I wound up buying them for dirt cheap, but frankly I think they're lacking in the mid and upper range a bit compared to the Klipsch speakers.
So.. I'm curious if hooking the Klipsch satellites up to the Logitech system would work right? I can see some potential issues with the crossover settings not being the same as the Klipsch would like, but then again I had them hooked up to a standard receiver and that didn't hurt anything. The reason I'd like to do this is that I'm actually pretty impressed with the Logitech sub and the control pod is nice and small (compared to having the bulky Yamaha receiver sitting on my computer desk).
The other option I have would be to replace the receiver and keep the Klipsch setup hooked up that way.
Any thoughts?
