Hello all. This is my first post in the FM section, so here goes. I recently purchased a pair of ebony LSi15's off this forum, so I'm selling some items to make room.

1) Acurus A200X3 Amp, 8/10 - Sold to Danac787
I bought this amp a couple months ago off Audiogon. This is the newer version of the amp with the oval cut faceplate. I ended up sticking with my Anthem MCA 30, so I'm letting this one go. Cosmetically, it is more like a 9/10, but since I'm not the original owner, I can't give it more than an 8. I couldn't find any dings or scratches, maybe just some dust and minor smudging. It will be shipped in it's original double box.

2) Polk RTi10's, black, 9.9/10, $400 local pickup
I bought these brand new from Tweeter in late December, but I couldn't resist purchasing the LSi15's. I would ship these, but I don't have the original boxes, so local pickup only (I'm in Chesapeake, VA).

3) Polk CSi5, black, 9.9/10, $200 local pickup
I bought this off Amazon in January, but I'm looking to upgrade to the LSiC. I don't have the original box for this speaker either, so local pickup is preferred.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional photos. I have verifiable feedback on ebay (username is uvaskeme).

Serious buyers only. Please have established feedback from a reputable website. Thanks!

    I would assume I could run this amp for my rti-10's/csi-3 up front and let my receiver handle the fxi-3s in back?

    I'm curious, but don't want to pick this up, and then regret not having the rears getting good power as well.

    Thoughts?

    I'm not an expert by any means, but adding more power never hurts, even when adding it to the rears. However, I felt that my Onkyo 805 did an adequate job of powering the rears and surrounds, so I just focused on making my frontstage happier. Take my advice with a grain of salt, though, since I am the seller, lol. I'm sure other Polkies will chime in.

    And McLoki... thanks for the bumpage.

    The rears will get better power than before because the 3 power hungry channels are taken care of. It all comes off of one power supply.

    I have a 5 channel amp and am only powering the front 3 with it. I let my avr handle the surrounds and it does a great job.
    That's a great price for that amp....i'd grab it and never look back.

    Someone jump on that Acurus. It is a very neutral amp that will power just about anything. Never gets hot. Even when driven LOUD for hours. I would buy this if I didn't already have one. Someone please buy before I go beyond my means again:o

    The only real true upgrade would be that you are adding an extra 200w channel for a center. As far as power goes, both of them are relentless and are damn near impossible to drive to distortion without killing yourself. The sounds are just different, with the Acurus being slightly more neutral (for me) with more detail and the Adcom having more "oomph" with slightly less resolution. But as with anything anyone tells you about an amp, you have to try it out for yourself. Only you can tell if you will like the sound better. Both are badass amps for the money.

    Definitely, LSiC needs power to make it sing.

    I know everyone always does this, and it is truly annoying (for the seller) but if you'd consider shipping the CSi5, I'd bite.

    Please let me know, I can cover shipping +PayPal fees.
