So what help are you asking for ? Amp recommendations ? If so, B&k or Parasound amps match up well with Polks. Just make sure the receiver has pre-outs to add an amp.

Welcome to Club Polk, but I hate to tell you that the only way you will be able to get more power is to upgrade to a receiver that has preouts for a separate amp which yours doesn't have. Once you upgrade your receiver, then you will be able to get a separate amp to show you what your speakers can really do.

If you like the Pioneer sound, then stick with it. I'd suggest one of their higher end models though like the SC versions. Plus they will all have HDMI connections, better dacs, and ice amps which will hold their power better over 7 channels driven than their counterparts.

so i won't be beter off with a brand other than a pioneer all the systems ive looked at dont drive hard for music and movies the 5.1 and 7.1 configuration is as expected . if im geting the advice you all are offering is new receiver and also amps for the sides and backs right?

dearold_dad

yea i have spent allot of money thinking i could drive them but i got the quality sound craze on i think ill get Pioneer SC-1323-K 7.2- and then see if i will still need an amp. this whole mess started when i found some rti8 for 100bucks lol .if im open to other brands of of same and beter quality that you have tried and tested word of mouth is always best.thanks

Pioneer SC 75 and you will not need the external power amp unless you want pure madness. The receiver is powerful enough and has plenty of bells & whistles to handle new stuff coming down the pipeline.
