How well would this receiver work with RTI10 upfront , RTI 4 surround csi5 center and 125 watt sub. Right now I'm using HK254 and a Adcom 5400 running the fronts.

    I think it would work good with that set-up, with 5 speakers running it will lower that 125 wpc down a bit but it would work as long as you never crank it up really loud. It has full set of preout if you wanted to upgrade the sound of your 2 front speakers just add a amp to it someday.
    Accessories 4less has it at $399 if their not out.
    If I was after a AVR I'd buy one right now :)

    just saw your adcom :) this with the 5008 I think it would be great

  • So if I buy this should I continue to use the adcom 5400 for the fronts?

    yes, as it would help them sound better with the extra power and then the 5008 would have more wpc for the other 3 speakers.
    I have a NAD T-758 and use a Adcom to power my front 3 speakers.
