I JUST GOT A NEW PAIR OF POLK RTi A9's & THE MATCHING CENTER & REARS.
I HEAR THAT THE 9's ARE A LITTLE POWER HUNGRY, I'M USING AN ONKYO 1008
RECEIVER WITH PRE-OUTS, WHAT WOULD BE THE BETTER AMP. TO USE & WHAT
IS THE BEST SET-UP, BI-AMP. or BI-WIRE THEM?

MARANTZ MM9000 = 150w x 5 & B&K AV6000 = 125w x 6



THANKS IN ADVANCE...

    Never heard the Marantz but have heard the B&K and can tell you first hand it is a very nice sounding piece.

    I would steer toward the B&K if it were my money.

    Same here, I own a B&K and it works very well with my RTi series, precursor to the RTiA series. I have never heard any Marantz but read good things about them. I think you would be well served with either.
