What 2ch amp would you recommend to drive them at a reasonable price?bergerac8280 wrote: ↑ I own a pair in cherry finish.
This is the honest price for them (always discounted to $449 or $399), but they are still a great deal.
Nothing else of comparable build (75lbs), finish (real wood veneer), and performance (with enough amp they really fly) at this price.

I have a bunch of legacy gear with which I'm bi-amping them (actual bi-amping) so I've little insight into what you could buy now, but I'd recommend at least 250wpc to get decent results.

Did you get a chance to test them in-store before buying? I have no idea what they sound like, be nice to test before buying.bergerac8280 wrote: ↑ I have a bunch of legacy gear with which I'm bi-amping them (actual bi-amping) so I've little insight into what you could buy now, but I'd recommend at least 250wpc to get decent results.
I'm running a total of 400wpc into them and I'm impressed for the money.

So, is the Atmos worth it?

this is what I did as well. preouts on a yamaha rx-v1079, initially to a behringer a500. I found that it wasn't enough, the rtia9's wanted more to really perform. ended up getting an older crown xls2500 and running in stereo. eventually, if I can find a matching older gen xls1500 (if I can wrap my head around the bi-amping thing) .. bridge to the subs in mono off the 2500 and the mids/highs in stereo off the 1500. not sure how to do this exactly though. they are great sounding speakers when they have the power. they are clean but very unimpressive with low power.

I bought a set of Polk RTI a9's during Boxing Week and also purchased an Emotiva XPA-2 Gen3 Power Amplifier to drive them. Very satisfied with the results and highly recommend.

No, but I'd already heard them in somebody else's setup.

Would CROWN AUDIO CTs-600 be good enough? I found a used one for just $150

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only thing is the input sensitivity is 1.4v which should be ok but depends on what your receiver outputs. Thats a pretty good price anyway. Can he hook us all up with one haha.

I have a Denon x4300. From spec page: Rated output: 1.2 V
