Anyone have any experience with this amp and rti-a7's? I would love to get some insight into how it performs?

    Hello,

    Well I don't have that model mine is the 1500a but it will drive your Polk's just fine. If you can get it for a good price I think you will be pleased with the sound.

    Cheers
    Roger

    Performs QUITE well. Pick it up and you wont regret it. Parasound has a MUCH higher current rating than most amps, and are honestly underrated in regards to wattage. I have a HCA-750ii powering my RTA 11TL's and I dont have to crank it much at all to get more than enough volume.
