    Well FWIW I bought my B&K on ebay and it was nothing but a great experience. However I tried to find one on Audiogon first with no luck. B&K is my favorite amp for the RTi series. I had the demo A5's on it and they sounded fantastic.
    AVR: Elite VSX-21TXH
    Amplifier: B&K 7250 Series ii
    Misc: Velodyne SMS-1
    Mains: RTi-10
    Center: CSi-5
    Rear: Boston DSi460
    Sub: SVS PC-Ultra

    Just sayin' you have to be leary,alot of scumbags pawning junk on the bay lately.You can get good stuff there,but it seems the honesty and integrity of some,not all,have hit all time lows.

    You can't go wrong with any of the aforementioned suggestions. The RTiA9 is an efficient speaker and not hard to drive.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
