RX-V583 good enough for RTi series surround sound?

Hey guys, been surfing here awhile. Hoping to get a clear confirmation from the pros-
I recently purchased some RTi A5s for front L/R, and some RC80s in wall for surround, and waiting to purchase a CSI a6 for the center.
Will my current AVR (RX-V583) be sufficient for home movie watching with these speakers?
Technically its a 7.2 surround sound AVR but I will only be using 5.1 of it, hoping this will leave enough power for the channels I am using.
I am upgrading from some 10 year old Sony speakers I have and cant wait to try them out.
Let me know what you think, thanks!

Shoot, ok.
I would need a AVR that works with 4k TV and is less then 6.5 inches thick. ( I know random, but its the size of the space I have for it.)
Anything come to mind that might power these speakers well?
Edit - Also, is it the brand that you dont like, or the power? I just happend to notice my local costco has a TSR 7810 on sale and that would bump my power from 80x a channel to 95.

Are you running a sub? If so, run the speaks on small and you should be OK for HT for a while. Just be careful with the volume.

Why do you have a 6 1/2 inch height limit for an AVR?

Marantz NR series would fit the bill...but it does cost a bit.Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

RX-Vs have pretty weak power supplies but like Ken said if you get a sub it'd work. Low bass is what takes the majority of the power, cutting the speakers off at 80Hz would help a lot.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Yes I will have a sub. Polk 12 inch, forgot the exact name. And yes planning on running all speakers small set at 80.
Hopefully it will all sound decent..
Thanks for the help guys. I should have everything here in a week or 2. -
Probably something of which the OP is well aware, but the YPAO auto-calibration will set those A5s to large unless manually overridden. I could see myself overlooking that minor detail amidst the excitement of revving up new system peripherals. So I just wanted to post this friendly FYI. Also, it looks like that model has eco-mode. In which case you could save more power, and hopefully without noticeable sacrifice to overall sonic characteristics.Denon X7200WA

Nice in theory, but a bit of fantasy in real world terms. Sonics are derived in a big part from power/current. In this case, less isn't going to equal more.

I'll make sure and keep all the speakers small, thanks.
I don't believe I will be using any eco modes though.
Sub arrives Tuesday, A5s Thursday. Still gotta find an A6 for a good price... -
Completely valid points re: eco mode, echoing my thoughts exactly. But, I interpreted some of the conversation as suggesting that greater efficiencies in power consumption would translate to less stress on the amp--overtaxation of the power supply being an issue with this particular model.
Exactly how much of a difference exists between activating eco-mode and simply being mindful of the volume is something of which I am not aware.
It could very well be that said feature is absolutely nothing other than a redundant marketing tool at its worst. But, the OP did mention cramped space, in which case I wouldn't rule out heat dissipation being an issue. If eco-mode truly does what it claims to do, then could we not infer that it would at least be somewhat of a preventive measure against overheating? Just saying.Denon X7200WA

If you have to account for overheating in the first place, then you have the wrong electronics for your needs.HT SYSTEM-

It was the right electronics for the previous arrangement. What I thought after reading this thread was that the new arrangement creates cause for concern due to the receiver's questionable amp reliability. In which case I say can't be too careful. I'm leaving it up the OP, but wanted to point out the option just in case.Denon X7200WA
