    For modern rock/rap/trance music, Ive never heard a better speaker than the RT2000's. Period. The SDA2b's I had were good, no doubt, but not even in the same league with cinema and synthesized music.

    I won't go so far as to say the RT2000i is the best rock speaker I've ever heard, but they do indeed rock! :D

    Don't really need too much power to either.

    I use a Carver TFM45 with my 2b's.
    Works quite nicely. The more clean power you can put into any of the SDA line the better!! Too much is still not enough.
    They are a very thirsty speaker.

    You can read a piece that I wrote about amp power and RTI-4 speakers here. Not much but should give you an idea.

    Haha...

    I am letting my friend borrow my indestructable BP10B (no way he can trash those enclosures) - and the first thing he said was he no longer needed an EQ, he had Cerwin Vegas before...

    Now if I can only get him to get a SVS...

    But atleast the 10's will be in use instead of sitting in a corner...

    They dont sound near as good as they do in my room, he is running a Kenwood receiver as a preamp and a big ol Yamaha amp.. haha - they still can rock out though.
