Looking to Amp up.

So I have 2 brand RtiA9's and 2 RtiA8's from about 7 years ago plus a 10" Velodyne Sub what Amp should I purchase with $1000 in mind. Also home receiver is a Yamaha Rx-V581. I simply know there is no way an AVR receiver can power these intense speakers but I need big power and quick......party season is right around the corner in Canada here!

first off your receiver doesn't have any preamp outputs for an amplifier
look no a new preamp AVR and look at NAD amplifiers, they are made in Canada
2-channel: Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Dynaudio C1-II Signatures
Desktop rig: LSi7, Polk 110sub, Dayens Ampino amp, W4S DAC/pre, Sonos, JRiver
Gear on standby: Melody 101 tube pre, Unison Research Simply Italy Integrated
Gone to new homes: (Matt Polk's)Threshold Stasis SA12e monoblocks, Pass XA30.5 amp, Usher MD2 speakers, Dynaudio C4 platinum speakers, Modwright LS100 (voltz), Simaudio 780D DAC

This is a good deal, has preouts to add a stand alone amplifier later, and is better than your current Yamaha in every conceivable way.

That would leave at least $600 or so in your budget to get a B&K or Parasound amplifier which can be done.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

^^200w, or around 60 amps current, should be well in your price range.2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.
Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

The receiver that you upgrade to can run the RTi8's. It's RtiA9's that need the power.
150watts plus would be recommended

My attention to detail sucks. CAD changes my numbers... That eBay ad is shipping to USA only. You get the idea though... going used will get you what you want at a decent price.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

I don't know if he would ship or not. If so this would be a great option. Buy in confidence from this guy, I was at his house yesterday and bought a PS Audio 200c from him. He is a true audiophile and his gear is in great shape.
