    Problem solved..:biggrin: I rewired or reconnect all my interconnect cable along with Speaker Cables,Polk RTI A9 is Bi Amped by Carver M-1.5T(X2) without Sub(Stereo)now getting excellent Bass,Sounds are more warm and details.............

    That's good to here. I got the best results with my RTI-12s when I passively bi-amped them also. The bass was unreal configured in this fashion.

    Lateral move from one mid-end component to another mid-end component only results in some noticeable difference in sound but not necessarily results a better sound in term of image, decay, localization of instruments and vocals. That's why they are called mid-end gear.

    "Insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result". Been there, done that and wasted a bunch of money and precious time, why don't you kick up a knot and get some audition for some real hi-end gear. YMMV.
