    You really have to tell people what you will be buying the speakers for. RTiA speakers are great for the home theater / movies. If you are listening to more music, look at the LSi speakers - like LSi15.

    Why are you buying XPA-1 monoblock? Are you buying 2 for your front sound stage? Why not just get XPA-5?

    The next question then is HOW do you like your music....bold, pounding and forward or a bit more laid back with excellent detailing and imaging?

    Rti-A9 vs. LSI-15?

    Regarding the speakers, I have LSi15's in my 2-channel rig and I love them. If you want to "hear with all details", you'll like them. On the other hand, I wouldn't say that they "pound."

    biji: if this is a stupid question, feel free to ignore it. But your first post suggests you intend to buy 1 xpa-1 monoblock to power a pair of speakers.
    A monoblock will only drive 1 speaker; you'll need 2 of them for a pair of speakers.

    Or 1 xpa-2. Or of course there are a lot of other amp possibilities.
