I just purchased an onkyo 805 yesterday.I have a pair of rti10s. I only have a 5.1 setup.The onkyo has the option to use the back surround channels(6 and 7) in a biamp configuration with the fronts. Is this anything I should consider or not?

    I would say no. You aren't generating that much more effective power (Maybe 5% more to the speaker-Due to one set of amps only running the mids and tweets which use less power) but the signal load inside the amp is doubled. All in all, it's a great sounding theory, bad in practice. However, you could try it and see if you like it.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
