I have a RT 5000 setup I bought from it's original owner in mint condition and my next step is to set it up. I would like some amp recommendations that are current as all my knowledge goes way back and I want to see if better options are available. Will a 5 channel integrated home theater amp have enough Juice to power these thongs or should I play it safe with a 5 channel amp with pre amp.

    You don't need a whole lot of power for the RT5000 to sound good. Since the RT3000p's have powered subs, all you are driving are the satellites. The built-in Polk amps are like 260 watts each. The CS1000p also has a powered sub so all your amp is required to drive on them are the mids & tweeters. The rears don't take much either because they usually require less than the rest to sound right.
