Any suggestion on powering this set up. Onkyo 805 just isn't doing the job?
Fronts-LSi-15's
Center-LSiC
Surr-LSi-9's will be changing to LSi-15's in a couple of days
Sub-PSW1000
Tv-Pioneer 6010
Game-PS3
DVD-Oppo 981
Sat-Express VU 9100
Onkyo-805
Looking for a decent amp for this set up any help appreciated, or suggestion? Big problem for me is being canadian and living close to Alaska? Majority of these site won't ship to Canada. And we get double the price for a even dollar now. You wouldn't belive the price differences I could have bought all of this twice in the states for what I paid in Canada so what can i guy do. Still have a week to return anything!!!!!

Check out Outlaw Audio, D-Sonic, Adcom, Sunfire Carver, Parasound, Rotel, B&K, those are a few popular ones here. You can find excellent deals @ audiogon(www.audiogon.com) which is a market for used gear. Welcome to the club bro. Try looking for something that will @ least give you 200 watts per chan.

Most of the amps Sherardp mentioned support 4 ohm speakers. You will be very happy with 200+ wpc in to 8 ohms as a starting point. Adcom 555II is 200wpc @ 8 ohms and 325wpc @ 4ohms, Carver A-500x is 250 wpc @8 and 400 wpc @ 4 ohms. These are examples of some of the equipment I have. Stay with 200 wpc into 8 and you will drive the Lsi15 at 4 ohms very nicely.
Good Luck,
