    Just got RTI A7's myself and love 'em. The 807 should power them allright but ultimately you'll want to get a seperate power amp to get the most out of them. The 807 has pre-outs so you'll be ready if and when you decide to do that.
    Fronts: Polk RTi A7's
    Center: Polk CSi A6
    Surrounds: Polk TSi500's
    Subwoofer:Polk DSW Pro 500, Emotiva Ultra 12
    Amplifier: Emotiva XPA-5

    DAC: Emotiva XDA-1
    CD player:Emotiva ERC-1
    Blu-Ray: Oppo BDP-93

    RTiA7 would be a nice upgrade and yes your Onkyo will have no problem driving them at decent volumes. I have my RTi10's running off a Harman 3480 and it drives them no sweat. The 807 is a very nice AVR, but a nice 2 channel amp would really wake those speakers up . . good luck.
