I am thinking of buying a H/K 235 receiver to replace my cheap onkyo htib 230. I am going to buy a pair of rti8's as well. I can't afford buying separate amps at the moment, would it be better to bi amp the speakers with the onkyo or just have everything hooked up to the H/k?
Setup:

2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105
PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    Just use your h/k... don't muddy the waters with a jury rig solution. Your h/k will keep you satisfied for a long while.

    Thanks for the advice I probably wont need dedicated amps for awhile. The new receiver is a must I have the rti4's and when I compare them to the demo room at fry's using the h/k receiver the difference in sound quality is HUGE.

    You can't bi-amp a toad stool with a receiver or a pair of receivers.
