I'm fairly new to the AV scene and was wondering if I could get some advice. I started out with an Onkyo HTIB solution (S760) and I'm in the process of upgrading. I have already purchased a Velodyne DLS-R5000 and a pair of RTI-10's (on the doorstep Tuesday) I plan on switching out the Onkyo center channel for a CSI-5 and I want to run surround with FXI-3's. I want to swap out the existing Onkyo receiver with a Pioneer elite VSX72TXV and was wondering if you think it will be enough to adequately power this kind of setup?

    Welcome to the forum.

    To answer your question, yes. I would think that receiver will send adequate power to those speakers.

    That said, for the same money ~$1400, I'd get separates. You can probably (in the used market) pick up a pre/pro and a great 5 channel amp (100-150/channel) for the same money.

    Just my $.02.
