Would this improve the audio quality of the Klipsch RP-600? Currently have them as FL and FR with Onkyo RZ830. This AV receiver also has connected a Klipsch 405C, 502S x2 surrounds, SVS elevation x4 heights (9 channels total). In the preouts, I have an Onkyo NR646 driving RP-500SA x2 as rears. Combined is 11 channels. Would this amp help unload wattage from the RZ830 if used for the front L and R. Currently sounds great as Im seated at 8ft. Would I notice a difference?

RZ830 is 110watts per channel into 8ohms when 2 channels driven. And you have 9 channel setup. So, yes your receiver is under stress and any external power amp will help using preamp. S801 is monster and should provide plenty of power for your LR and reduce stress from your receiver. Although, I would personally go for A3 3 channel emotiva power amps as it can take over LCR load from receiver and will be a perfect match.

I would not get this for that setup. Klipsch speakers are fairly sensitive though their ratings are exaggerated. How loud you're playing it and how many clean watts your receiver provides are what you'd need to know. These days, I typically recommend a high end Class D amplifier because they're so low distortion and use much less energy.

I think the sound would be similar and coordinating the volume adjustments would be difficult. But you are doing something with the volume matching of the NR646 so you might have that figured out.
It looks like you can bi-amp the Klipsch RP-600. Perhaps an active crossover (like the dbx 223xs) and use Zone 2 on your RZ830? Or, if you have an idea for the volume matching, the A-S801 as part of a bi-amp solution may be good.
I have a surround Yamaha (similar to your RZ830) and I love it.

Such a great no frills receiver. Been driving KEF LS50 from last 5 years and the clarity and power is amazing although my setup is desktop based so not driving those at full volumes.

It has also been my main office integrated amp for a few years and has always done a great job at being impartial to the sound, providing substantial power, and having the perfect number of connections. I have some KEF UB5s and Martin Logan 35XT connected to it with a 400w 10" sub.
I like hearing what other LS50 owners are using, as mine are in the living room with a Marantz PM7000n and a 10" Martin logan sub. I wish the Marantz had A/B connections like the Yamaha. I never thought it was a valuable feature until I started having stereo sets for different uses.

Would this help my setup? I currently have a Denon X4700H powering my 5.1.4 speaker setup. My FL and FR are Polk Audio LSi 15 floor standing speakers that I'd like to power because I feel like they're starved. Would this amp be enough? Here's the specs [crutchfield.com] for reference, which says it can handle up to 250w.
